We live on one planet that's being over exploited we consume 1.5 earths worth of resources, its about to become shitty for every one everywhere.
their distopia is worse than mine. In my distopia i can elect vicarious cruelty against some undetermined enemy of people every 4 years.

Idk that's a bad meme.
Road for cars vs road for people.
Are you and the person the pic is addressing both cars?
Oh god what a hellscape, a dense walkable area.
Idk advertising fucking sucks, used to be banned.
Omg that ad is for a skin lightning cream isnt it?
Still streets ahead of that stroad up top
Advertising fucking sucks. There used to be no ads in the DDR there still aren't in North Korea.
Lol well it was built by the French, most of Paris or Vienna or Berlin looks like that as well. I found the advertising to be the more offensive thing in both pictures.
I'm sorry, is that supposed to be a comparison of something that's bad? Can you describe what's bad about it?
The advertising.
Edit
Advertising is so pervasive that people don't even notice it anymore it just blends in to the background and people assume that's what a city is meant to look like, they had no advertising in the DDR and AFAIK still don't in NK.
I mean the single cosmetic ad is a problem and I think ads should be illegal, but all of the other signs are attached to their buildings, rather than being an advertisement. So if you're talking about those, it is not the same.
With the exception of the one, maybe.
Gotta bleach your skin so you can look white, I'd hate to look like a farmer.
Two things can be true?
Liberals’ thought-terminating cliché for everything.
Yes, two things can be true, but so can one or the other thing or no things, so you haven’t actually said anything.
Two things can be in a quantum true super position
the goal is not to make lies look true, but to make truth unrecognizable. not to have propaganda prevail over truth, but to render the two indistinguishable.
