    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…

    Fair enough. I suppose I understand this meme to be a broader commentary about cyberpunk dystopia than specifically ridiculing someone’s life style choices.



  • I don’t think it’s meaningless to be trepidatious over a future most of the people on this planet will never be able to have (affordable housing, a stress free retirement).

    And I dunno but calling it “a matter of perspective” feels like a lie, or a compromise, especially when knowing that we are slowly destroying our world and making everyone’s lives horrible so that a few people can enjoy themselves.

    We shouldn’t fighting to live in such a dystopia.

    I don’t want to say that their goals are wrong and mine are better, everyone has their bandwidth, but I just disagree that it is a matter of perspective. (Upon looking at it again, I think we both just understand this meme differently)

    I am so fucking tired of living in this world.

    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?
