Eh. It's a matter of perspective
You can look at a turd from a different angle and it will look like a brownie.
A comfortable home or segregationist suburban dystopia?
Family vacations or inefficient car based infrastructure fucking up the planet?
Fun hobbies or mindless consumerism being sold to you as a hobby?
Living to a ripe old age or being relegated to for profit nursing homes to count your dying days?
Which seems more apparent?
Which seems more apparent?
Well, it depends on your perspective, as you so rightly put it. You see something deplorable in each of those squares where others might see it differently.
We are absolutely living in a cyberpunk dystopia. This particular meme is poorly put together to represent that because it chooses to focus on judgement of how others live their lives or choose to enjoy said life rather than focus on the real and tangible injustices we face. It is elitist and "holier than thou".
It doesn't matter how many brownie angles you look at it from its still a fuckin' turd
I think you made it worse
You are totally correct. There are billions of people on this planet who are dreaming of such a life.
I thought that first image was super earth for a second and was feeling very patriotic
Sadly it's from regular earth
Common mistake. It’s a little known fact that Super Earth was modeled after regular Earth.
It's not a super suburb. It's just....
A boring suburb.
Sarcasm doesn't seem to be this sub's forte.
Lemmy is almost entirely incredibly shut-in discord kids, people who were too uptight to work out on reddit or other social media, neurodivergents who believe making effort to socialize is akin to self-immolation, and other edge-cases from the broader internet.
It's a fantastic place to actually have a conversation without being drowned out by 300 people trying to push their own brands, agendas and manifestos, but it's also not a place to see normal people being normal much of the time.
edit: your downvotes are telling. Might want to think about why a message like this effects you negatively. (No I don't care to debate it, no don't ask AI about it. THINK about it.)
Is this loss?
i thought that's what were fighting against
We're fighting against the elderly?
motions towards us government
Not every fight has to be fair.
Warehousing the like factory farmed trash, notice how they're in a hallway?
Also what many hospitals look like these days!
I interpreted that as elderly who were depressed because they were in bad care facilities.
So like the bad thing is bad care facilities, or the fact that families don't have the means to take care of their elderly.
Constantly.
Place to live, slave work, buying useless things, dying alone. Monkeys have better life than humans these days.
I'm pretty sure we (as a species) make sure that that's not the case.
I'm sure at some point all animals will have at most same standard that humans have.
"The American way of life is not negotiable" -- Liberal hero "normal President" George W Bush.
Liberal hero. Many people hated Bush at the time. It’s funny how over time he has somehow been normalized as “the not so bad Republican.” Like that’s all it takes, to literally not be Hitler, to be considered an ok Republican.
67 different flavors of processed corn.

Think big. This is a wake up call, time to reverse course on this long slow decline. We've hit an inflection point.
Nothing shows the lack of humanity and collapse of social bonds in... some cultures better than retirement homes.
How we treat our worst and our most lonely is the standard I live by and boy howdy Americans are up there for worst. Apparently it's easier and more profitable to be that cruel.
Fucking funko pops got me
I mean yea but the dystopia doesn't feel that boring these days
When you get old, you’re often tired.
Lol maybe what you're fighting for.
I am fighting to date Mike?
