Schindler's list if you reverse the roles

Depict or make fun of?

Because if you want a show that takes the piss out of our modern pc world, you should try Scream Queens before it's cancelled.

>our modern pc world
Is this dystopic to you

Snowpiercer

>dystopia
Literally wat. Point to a specific time and place where the average person was better off.

Supergirl, but in a completely non-self-aware way

You're just part of the brainwashed population, then. Well-fed and well-entertained. Unharmful slave.

>specific time
Imperial Rome during the Augustan age or the time of the five good emperors

>specific place
Rome

Try and fucking prove me wrong

>No modern medicine
>Shit life expectancy
You're a fucking idiot.

t. Morpheus

>muh modern medicine
oh yes i sure love MUH MODERN MEDICINE

Can't wait to get my cancer cured haha!

i sure also love our god created pharmacy industry, it sure is great to see farmers spray antibiotics (that aren't being developed anymore because it doesn't bring enough money) on all the fields, can't wait for resistance to reach the point that big pharma can sell you a pill you have to take every day so you don't fucking die!

quality > quantity, faggot

The United States Government actively tries to make as many debt slaves as possible because the neoliberal economic ideology adopted under Reagan, has left us on the precipice of the worst economic crisis in human history. The debt-ceiling in the US has been raised twice now. Ask yourselves how many more times will they do it before creditors downgrade their score and the ponzi scheme collapses?

Wow. Really made me think.

Anywhere in the Western World during the mid-to-late 20th century

Wow. Really didn't bring any counterarguments.

America, 50s?
Europe, 30s?

Don't lump me in with the retard who wants to die from a toothache, there is a very serious economic crisis looming and if you're not preparing already, you're going to be in for a very rough time.

When my 5 year old nephew insists that Iron Man is real I don't argue with him either.

>tfw stocking up on guns and gold so the absolute worst can happen and I'll be fine

Batman v Superman

>here is a very serious economic crisis looming
I agree. I just don't think that makes the modern world a dystopia.

Brave New World is as much a dystopia as 1984 is

Yeah you really should think about that

Why don't you retards move to the forest or something ?
>baww baww muh dystopia *browses Sup Forums while collecting welfare*
>bawww bawww muh good ole times ! I was born in the wrong generation

What's your point?

Are you unironically implying that browsing Sup Forums and living in a welfare society is not a dystopia?

Only if you were a
>white male

Why don't you shut your fucking mouth? I watched Snowpiercer yesterday and it literally opened my eyes to this stinking shit world we live in. You're just a sheep, BAAAAA! Have fun BELIEVING IN SOCIETIES LIES!

>guns
Good idea
>gold
Terrible idea, unless you want the government to come and rough you up and take it when things get really dire, like FDR did in 1933 with Executive Order 6102.

The modern world quickly will become indisputably a dystopia, even if you don't already consider the soulless consumerism and veneer of glamour over cultural rot dystopic.

Freedom > slavery

Slavery of the mind will lead to humanities' stagnation and extinction

That's not
>relevant
and there were no
>niggers
in Europe at the time

Yeah, no shit. What's your point?

Even if you were a nig nog I'd still think the 50s and whatnot would be a better time to exist, you would actually be facing racism and instead of complaining how there aren't enough black superheroes you could watch MLK speak

Working for a better future and place in society for yourself and your kind would be much more fulfilling than actively seeking out any kind of discrimination you can find on the internet so you have something to combat I imagine

>Dystopia: An imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one.
Not sure if serious

The original is a great book. The rewrite is shit.

stupid pleb

white women had it pretty easy back then, regardless of what the feminazis claim

I'd much rather be a woman during WWII, Korea or Vietnam, that's for sure

>Heh.. I'm so above you kiddo I don't even need to debate you properly....

I'm sure that attitude will get you really far in life.

You'r eone of those autist guy who keep posting dictionary definitions whenever they can, are you?

It has. Why would I waste effort on someone who doesn't want to listen to anyone else?

>White suburban kids actually believe this

This. Some people don't want to discuss, they want to monologue.

>no argument
So ready to move to the forest ? Or you'll keep complaining about muh society and dystopias while shitposting and being comfy ?

What?

I have no idea what the fuck you're on about. Holy shit, did you have part of our convo in your head while you were waiting for a reply or something?

Are you pretending to be retarded or can't even read the thread ?
>hurr hurr what r u on man? hah ur crazy

>he's this blind

>small houses and vidya means dystopia
This kids...

IKEA society, Internet, Batman, augmented reality, porn, Harry Potter. Meanwhile, the world wages war, suffers oppression and famine. We ourselves live meaningless lives, numbly slaving our minds to those who designed our existence while we take our place in the assembly line. And we don't care. We are comfy.

This is your dystopia.

>he only read up to that part

user..

OP's pic has subject peoples of other kingdoms, not "slaves" at the bottom. Slavery was never a big thing in Egypt, the technological level did not allow for a massive subject population.

No man, we're like existential slaves cause like big media and corporations and all that.

...

I've read everything and that's what he's saying

>Europe, 30s

You fucking moron.

No, I meant real dystopian like where girls would rather date popular guys instead of me.

Children of men

the world is bigger than US
>Ask yourselves how many more times will they do it before creditors downgrade their score and the ponzi scheme collapses?
depends on how badly they want to get nuked

>creditors downgrade their score and the ponzi scheme collapses

creditors benefit from the ponzi scheme

ur an idiot

>ur an idiot
quality argument

...

Is it Avatar? Serious question.

Are you aware there was a fucking world war going on in during the 30s ?

Demolition Man

When the two biggest country were threatening to destroy humanity ?

>What movie or tv series best depicts the dystopia we live in?
The Circle will be in theatres soon

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Circle_(2017_film)

Not gonna find any better. What else comes close though?

>Slavery of the mind will lead to humanities' stagnation and extinction
This

David Brin depicted this very well in his novel Existence

>The film stars Tom Hanks, Emma Watson, John Boyega, Karen Gillan, Patton Oswalt, and Bill Paxton.

lmfao

If you actually feel "mind"- enslaved stop consuming garbage, fight your intellectual lazyness and instead of watching a popcorn flick tonight or worse shitposting on Sup Forums read Plato.

I suggest the Phaedo for starters

Demolition Man.

>I'm sure that attitude will get you really far in life.

It got Donald Trump elected President
