Just for those who have remarked that they live in Brazil. It’s the movie Brazil that this meme is referring to.
The “you are here” is where libertarians think they and 0,0 are on a political compass meme
Needs to fit in Handmaids Tale here somewhere too.
Swap it with The Matrix

And cyberpunk
I would throw in Snow Crash as well
Lol not even close lmao 🤣
I hate 1984 on so many levels…
FFS just put on the damn sunglasses.
No we need to have an unnecessary 10 minute fistfight instead of just trying it for myself.
And in so doing, we’ll have the greatest first fight ever committed to film.
Those films were supposed to be a warning … NOT A GUIDE!
Torment Nexus! Torment Nexus!
the matrix looks so cool though…
The hookup to the Matrix in this reality is located a lot lower in the body than at the base of the neck
kinky
All those character names they use … Neo, Morpheus, Trinity, Tank, Switch … they’re just Porn names for the ‘Matrix’
Media is inspired by reality.
very weak in the subgroupings. There could be 2 axises of dystopia. 1. Autocratic vs chaotic 2. some attempt to mean well vs dystopia by design.
axes*
Oh, don’t be so dramatic. We’re nowhere near that yet. We’re just rapidly spiraling toward it like a disoriented skydiver tangled in the lines of their reserve chute.
Don’t forget that we are actually skydiving in tandem with someone who either doesn’t believe in gravity, is trying to hit the ground on purpose, or both.
I like to think it wasn’t even tandem, they entered the picture Point Break style.
We were skydiving. They just jumped out a plane after us.
That person is actively stabbing at the harness with a rusty pair of shears while accusing you of sabotaging the jump. Sometimes they end up stabbing themselves, but usually they just end up stabbing you through the harness instead.
This is the most apt metaphor for the maga moment I’ve seen in a while. Thank you for that.
Plunging toward oblivion while happily screaming, “10,000’ so far so good, 5,000’ so far so good…”
i see not even leftists are done beating the “society is just like that one overt eugenics movie” druum
Flavour country. 😎
Only sometimes? How do you make it NOT feel like that?
Recreational drugs.
Recreating reality since, like, forever
Erry day I’m broken down, erry night I recreate.
Can’t spell drugs without U
Or rugs. Rugs really tie the room together.
Love to see Soylent Green on there. Both in a metaphorically and quickly approaching literal sense.
Idk it doesn’t look like we’ll run out of food and the population bomb turned out to be a dud. Maybe the food chain will collapse in the ecocrisis, but Capital will find a way to produce food more energy-intensively to compensate.
It’s a classic, but it reflects the anxieties of the time for sure.
I’m not convinced that tech and humanity can create enough food sources to make up for losses that climate change is going to create. I think the damage is going to occur much more quickly than any replacement food chain could be established.
Come to Brasil
