While we may imagine a dystopian future of thought police, killer robots, and nuclear fallout, the real future predictions are much more boring. Instead of being brutally brainwashed and enslaved by fascist, authoritarian regimes, we have willingly enslaved ourselves. By allowing the top 1% to get exponentially richer, we drown in a sea of debts, tech, advertising, endless wars, environmental destruction, addictions, depression... the list goes on.

Brilliant, isn't it? But it's ok; there's always Facebook to scroll through (Bored Panda too, obvs), Netflix to watch, chemical-laden meals to consume, manufactured outrages over a mermaid's skin color to comment on. Who's got time for thoughtful resistance in this sick, sad world? Even those that think they are resisting by electing bigoted billionaires, bankers and Eton toffs to represent them are simply playing into their hands, as their dishonest, scaremongering claptrap divides us ever further over political, racial and gender lines!

Sometimes we need to take a step back and see the forest for the trees. This list, compiled by Bored Panda, contains some pretty terrifying examples of present-day dystopian society, things that make you realize that beyond all the distractions of trying to survive and thrive in the rat race, something's not quite right with this world.

So if you didn't find the sinister scenes of mindless automatons chanting “send her back” chilling enough, scroll down below to get a reality check on the spookily Orwellian society we are allowing to be constructed, and let's see if we can fix our near future in the comments! If you want to see even more proof of our dystopian world, be sure to check out our previous list!

The term 'boring dystopia was coined by the late academic and cultural theorist Mark Fisher in 2015. He used it to refer to the "bland, mildly coercive signs that abound in late-stage capitalist society, which foster a vague sense of isolation or unease."

He started a Facebook group that documented these signs as a way to develop consciousness about the world around us. "It was understood from the start to be a consciousness-raising exercise, encouraging people to perceive the actual state of Britain rather than the PR state," Fisher said in an interview with Vice. "Which is surprisingly hard, because there's this mixture of Silicon Valley ideology, PR and advertising which distracts us from our own aesthetic poverty, and the reality of what we have. Which is just all these crap robots…"

    "Boring Dystopia was partly about the fact that no one can care about stuff any more," said Fisher. "It's not that they don't care, but in a city like London, or any intensely pressured urban metropolis—add to that the pressures of capitalist cyberspace and people just feel like they perpetually have no time."

    "Our resources for caring are depleted, and that has aesthetic consequences."

    Aside from being paid to do their entertaining thing, celebrities ARE actual human beings. They're just people. They have just as much right to promote their causes (yes, even if they're paid to do so) and speak out on whatever subject, just like you can. They may have a bigger media platform, but you are free to ignore them regarding charity, regarding politics, regarding anything. You are also free to draw media attention to your cause or charity as best you can. Who's stopping you? I can't think of one celebrity who has pressured or influenced me into giving my money to a charity.

    For God's sake. Stop using 'celeb' to degrade what is mainly the decent efforts of decent people, people btw who worked hard for their success, just like you. Many 'celebs', if not most, donate from their own pockets. I'll mention Clooney, whose million dollar wages for ads go to charity, but I could mention plenty more like Oprah, Spielberg, Fonda, Gates etc and their targeted billions. Most are committed patrons of organisations devoting time and energy to fighting for legal equality and economic parity. Part of that is publicity and fundraising: why is that a surprise to the sanctimonious, except as an excuse to flaunt their own self announced moral superiority, which is what they're accusing (with no actual proof) the 'celeb' of? It's a cheap shot and the snottiest form of received thinking with a seam of resentment refusing to acknowledge itself. They're helping financially, socially and publicly despite this priggish sniping. What are their critics doing apart from bitching?

    On a related note, It bothers me when I see commercials forplaces like Walgreens, and car companies promising to donate money to your favorite charity if you buy a car. Or, get a flu shot at Walgreens, and they'll give a vaccine to a child in a poor third world country.. I want to scream, just do it anyway, you have the money and resources, don't tie your being charitable me. Do the right thing regardless.

    I always hear that celebrities donate to charities all the time, we just don't know about it. Well, I sure as H*ll would like to hear about it! We have so many televised charity-thons to raise money for various causes, and I try to contribute, but a celebrity crying because a child doesn't have food peeves me a lot. They beg us to send money to these poor unfortunates, but yet how do I know they are supporters or just out doing what they feel is their bit for these people. I try not to be cynical, but they have so much, yet they shame the poor to help the poorest.

    You are insinuating that celebs don't give personally as well? I guess you got access to all their books and saw for yourself, eh? This site gets really angry at people who have money. Okay, I'll spell it out for you: celebs can get money out of thousands or hundreds of thousands of people. Their reach far exceeds yours, so even if they didn't give anything but their time (which is also more valuable than yours, literally) they still give more than you do overall.

    The Facebook group was short-lived, with Fisher quickly becoming disillusioned with Facebook itself. "For me the point at which the group started to go downhill was when it became like every other Facebook group. It was just recirculating 'content' and sending links, keeping people inside what I would call capitalist cyberspace instead of looking outside at their own environment. It felt like it was reinforcing the condition it was intended to displace," he explained.

    "It didn't work at that scale, and you could feel that it wasn't the right place for it… It was just an experiment, and Facebook probably wasn't the right platform. I didn't want it to be diluted."

    After Fisher's tragic death in 2017 at the age of 48, his work remains as his legacy and is as important and relevant as it's ever been. His 2009 book Capitalist Realism is a must-read for anyone wanting to understand the modern world, and his 'Boring Dystopia' group lives on mainly in the subreddit r/ABoringDystopia.

    There is one thing we can do: Get out and vote. Vote for the senators and representatives who aren't afraid to push for single-payer, universal health care. And if someone calls you a socialist, tell them to look at Japan, which a) is hardly socialist, b) has the world's longest life expectancy, and c) has a well-established universal health care system.

    They also move the general public from public film locations and replace them with actors who play the "general public". It's about having control over what is being filmed. The demographic of those being moved to accommodate a public film location, is not the issue at hand.

    That’s appalling. Like something a child in a war zone might say.

    This is why I have a hard time buying things digitally. You don't own any of the music or movies, you own a license to watch/ listen to that media. Sure there are still license agreements with physical copies of media- but as long as I have something that can read the disc I don't have to worry about it.

    In America a broken taillight could kill you, if you're black. At least the jury would have another piece of evidence to dismiss.

    "commitment" may not be the issue here at all. 2 key points: 1. employer must be clear on the expectations of their staff, and hire accordingly. 2. employees must be clear on the expectations of their job, and behave accordingly. (if the boss agreed to let them go home 30mins early, 3 times a week, the boss needs to honour that agreement, or renegotiate with the appropriate notice). Besides, there are MANY solutions to this, that has nothing to do with how "committed" a person is to a job. eg shorter lunch breaks on the days she needs to leave early / longer days on the other days when she doesn't need to collect her kids / other staff can pick up overtime to cover the extra 30mins / ensure she completes her required tasks within her day, regardless of the length of the day. Often, it's about *productivity* while working, vs the hours working. (from a manager who fought to keep my VERY productive staff, who needed some compromises due to outside commitments)

    It’s clever marketing. Playing on both the famous World War recruitment poster and the negative stereotypes of modern young people.

    You could fight the cause or you could fight the symptoms. Oregon officials are obviously unaware of the fact that fighting the symptoms will never solve the problem.

    "You have a heart attack, a cancer or a stroke before the age of 40. Then we discard you like a used tissue. But we don't care, because there are hundreds of doers queueing to replace you" this should be the second part of the ad.

    I did that as a mom when I was 28 years old. It was awesome. No. No it wasn’t. It f*****g sucked. It took 5 months to save up enough money to get a place. It wouldn’t have taken so long, but day care is expensive when you don’t have any family to help you. Or to be more specific, your family doesn’t really give a s**t about you or your child. (I’m not being an a*s here. I was actually told this.)

    Mathemathically, I would argue that we have a slight problem here. Linguistically, too. But hey, legally everything is fine, and that is what counts in life, doesn't it?

    Because they are there earlier than everybody else to prepare. Makes total sense to let them do this instead of sending somebody just to unlock the door.
