These 30 Pics Show How Dystopic Our Society Already Is, And It’s Pretty Terrifying
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…"

Real Problem
"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."
Charity
Saddest part is that a lot of celebs even get paid to promote a charity.
Put The Blame Where It Belongs
Let's not forget the politicians and celebrities who fly all over who have huge SUVs .
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."

Calling An Ambulance In USA
That is just RIDICULOUS. I really, honestly don't understand how come the American people are not crazy mad in the streets protesting about that. Like, protesting all the time.
They're trying, but most of them are too busy trying to support themselves on seven dollar wages and sacrificing their mental health for college

I've watched Live Rescue on TV only to see people that are all messed up from accidents and/or shot and bleeding refuse an ambulance because of the cost. That's insane when people are more afraid of cost than treatment. This c**p needs to stop. Universal healthcare for all.
universal health care will just result in even poorer healthcare for everyone. i really wish you people actually took some economics classes and fully understood the ramifications of the policies you try to preach without even actually understanding them

Reminds me of how people in my country got all angry for having to pay 90 CZK for an ambulance (roughly $5). Wow, I'm surprised more people are moving to the USA for a better life and not out from it... :(
I would love to move OUT of the US, but I can't afford to.
Load More Replies... Healthcare in the US is unbelievable. Like if it was the poorest country in the world.
healthcare is actually far worse in some countries that have socialized healthcare like canada for example. healthcare where I was born (in the soviet union) was also horrible and it was a socialist "universal" healthcare system. We didn't even get anesthesia for surgery and it was common for people to die from diseases like the flu. I am very thankful to my family that they literally gave up everything (we came to the US with literally nothing but the clothes on our backs because we had to pay so much money just to come here legally) to come to the united states. The quality of healthcare here compared to socialist countries like the one I was born in (USSR) is incredible. The 3rd world conditions we endured in the USSR are pretty much unheard of in the american healthcare system. Healthcare here in the US is lightyears ahead of probably 75% of the world. Don't take my word for it, though, visit some socialist countries and see how their healthcare is for yourself. Ask locals

Not entirely true. If you are involved in a road traffic accident you are charged for the ambulance. However, it's usually paid for by the insurance company of the person who caused the collision. I know this as I was hit by a lorry and their insurance paid for my ambulance bill.

oh now I understand why I keep hearing more people getting to the hospital with Uber
thankfully because of the competitive spirit of capitalism that is so prominent in American culture we have alternatives like uber to get to places we need to go. sadly people in socialist countries don't enjoy that privilege and often have to wait weeks to receive urgent care. people in canada have literally lost limbs thanks to the long waits for public healthcare due to their crappy "universal healthcare" system that essentially forces them to either wait until they have to have their limbs amputated/die or seek care at a private clinic instead. they're lucky that private clinics still exist as in a purely socialist system that option wouldn't even be available. we have it pretty darn good here in the US all things considered. i would know, i immigrated here from the soviet union in the early 90s and I can tell you from personal experience that it is much much better here. just about anyone from most other countries on earth would tell you the same thing too

My heart goes out to those in the US who have to choose between taking their baby/child to the hospital or eating or going bankrupt over a medical bill. I love my Canada for having health care for all and wish the US would just take the leap and do the same.
There are a LOT of Canadians down here in central FL that love the healthcare they get here. It's usually a lot faster than when they're at home.

In Canada. I was hit by a car.Broke my hand, loads of nerve damage and a concussion to say the least. I received an ambulance, x-rays, MRI, therapy and dr's appointments for months at the hospital. all for $70 bucks.
yeah and you pay like half your income to your government, and most people in your country have to wait so long in a line for urgent care that some of them end up having limbs amputated by the time they're finally seen by a doctor. thanks but ill keep our "crappy" US healthcare. id rather keep my limbs and not spend weeks waiting for care like you do, and then have to give up half my income to the government just to pay for it. you act like we pay more than you when in reality you guys actually probably pay more for healthcare in taxes than we do.

And the most bizarre of all is that I see all over Twitter some Americans hating on socialised health care!! Obviously not the ones that need it though.
Whilst we have great healthcare in Australia we have to pay for an Ambulance too whether it be through a private insurer, privately through the ambulance service or pay the bill. It is approx $700-$1500 for an ambulance.
Not if you are in Queensland - we still have free ambulances and hospital care :)

In NZ, St John Ambulance charge around $100 I think. But Wellington, where I live, has Wellington Free Ambulance and it is just that. Free.
As in Europe and even in Russia, when there is an emergency. I' can't believe how US citizens bear this. In Italy is free as well, you pay only when you rent an ambulance, for example when you return fron hospital and you can't go on your own because of health problems. And in a case like that, if you travel within your town, the price is about 40 euros (more or less 40 dollars).

This is why nobody wants to have an ambulance called for them. Insurance doesn't even cover all of that.
I am in the US and my husband was on Medicare with stage four pancreatic cancer. He had to go to the hospital and I called the ambulance. The EMT was in my house and my husband desperately needed to use the bathroom and drug himself there with a walker. The EMT said the ambulance would be $1000.00 because he made it to the bathroom using the walker. I said What? and he said since he saw him walk we would have to pay $1000.00 copay. The ambulance was the only way he could possibly have gotten there but that didn't matter. Medicare rule and we paid it. I don't understand why we have this kind of healthcare. Money, that is why!
Unlikely, EMT's don't know about insurance and copays. They don't even ask for your insurance info.

We hire a lot of H1B's - they are nearly all PhD's or otherwise accomplished in their field, they aren't taking anyone's job away (we hire less now since it's much harder to get a visa, so we opened a European office, so now these highly paid employee are spending their money outside of the USA), and it's fun telling them about our healthcare system "Wait, I'm paying $400/month for this insurance, and I *still* have to pay up to $5000/year in addition!?"
One of my friends just quit the local ambulance service. He was only making $13/hr in a city with over a million people.
$13 an hour??? What. INSANE. In the USA? In Canada, Vancouver in particular, paramedics are making anywhere from $22-40 per hour

sorry Im italian it is my understanding you're billed if you have no insurance and an hospital can't refuse to take care if you need then they will bill you. Problem is an insurance cost a lot and is not affordable by average payroll workers ? Do I get it right ?
Yes, that pretty much sums it up here, unfortunately.

Everyone is outraged but nobody seems to want socialized healthcare.... then pay for it and stop complaining.
Paying for an ambulance ride? [Bleep]ing robbery! This is why we need "socialized" medical care.
freya if you think that's robbery, wait till you hear how "socialized" or "universal" health care works in countries like Finland and Canada. The government literally takes like more than half your income to pay for not just your healthcare, but everybody's healthcare. They probably pay like 5 times more for healthcare in taxes than we do out of pocket.

Yup, my wife fell down 5 stairs while 3 months pregnant. Don't worry, everything was fine. Bill for the ambulance was 1400 after insurance. This is why we need to fix health insurance.
I've read that some epilepsy patients in the US wear bracelets or IDs that say please DON'T call an ambulance because they simply cannot afford to pay $2k every time they have a seizure and someone around calls 911 to try and help. And to think there exist idiots who fight against free healthcare... :(
Sometimes I feel as though Americans should just stay indoors, lie in bed and do nothing just in case they hurt themselves. Even if they did, there'd still be things out to get them........I don't know. Encase yourselves in Bubblewrap?
It is outrageous, but at least we don't have to wait 8 hours for an ambulance or worry the hospital will starve us to death because no one bothered to feed us for 10 days. Every day I read multiple negligent horror stories about the NHS. But, in all seriousness, yes, our system is completely broken. Only the rich or fortunate can afford healthcare. Our country even fines us for being too poor to afford their useless, over priced government insurance. My husband was fined $1,800 last year for not having enough money for insurance. Great system.
In Victoria (Australia, not sure about the other states) it's expensive if you aren't an ambulance Victoria member, but membership is cheap, $50 for a single or $95 for a family.
If you are on a low income and have a Health Care Card it is free.

AND... the cost varies by fire department, which hospital you go to, etc. In my small township, residents of the township do NOT pay for ambulance service, but if my out-of-town dinner guest has a medical emergency, he will be billed $1,000+ USD for the 6 miles to an emergency facility or 12 miles to a full hospital.
Yep. I had to call 911 and ended being taken to the hospital. It was a 10 minute ride. I got a bill for $5000
It actually depends on where you live in the United States. In Pennsylvania, our local ambulance paramedics, EMTs and firefighters were volunteers. We paid an annual fee to be part of their system which helped to support them and in turn we got seriously reduced fees for ambulance transportation. I think about $50 per trip. We never needed it, but our money still went to a good cause.
call an ambulance in an emergency in the UK and you will not be charged. on the other hand if you insist in calling an ambulance in a non-emergency you may receive an invoice. won't be $7000
The reason for this is that there are too many people with no common sense who call an ambulance or visit an emergency room for non emergencies. An ambulance is not your private taxi service to take you to the doctor.
I am from Canada. We have free health care. We pay taxes that cover the cost. You get a health card at birth and you present it every time you go to the doctor or hospital. I used to always wonder when Americans used to say that this hospital was great but that pne was terrible or a charity hospital. Here a hospital is a hospital. Same quality of care. Unless it is a specialist hospital. Like The hospital for Sick Children or a Cancer hospital. I would hate to have to suffer simply because I was poor. I do not understand why Americans are not protesting this.
In isrsel we have crazy hight defence budget but despite it we also have an excellent health system which is maintained by mandatory health insurance that almost everybody can afford even if unemployed. How is it possible that the american people don't fight for affordable health care
You also have to pay for an ambulance in BC, I’ve done so 3 times in the last 5 years.
Shall we sell NHS to American multibillion companies then? What say you all? Lets brexit and sell NHS. Great idea! (said absolutely fu****ng nobody EVER)
in Australia we can buy a family membership to the ambulance service for $96. full cover, no out of pocket.
you dont even have to call them. someone else calls them (cops, 911) , they transport you, and you get a bill in the mail. dont get me going on medi-helicopters.
Several years ago my son was in a severe car wreck and fractured 3 vertebrae. He was traveling when this happened and was out of state, over 2 hrs from home. When he was ready to be discharged to a rehab facility he had to be transported by ambulance or the rehab place wouldn't accept him. The bill was going to be several thousand dollars to transport. I got on the phone with our insurance and pleaded with the lady to help us. She ok'd it, knowing it would be denied, but that would be after the trip was complete and we could be billed.
Hey you have a president that talks like he's worked hard in a manual labour job all his life, but in truth he has nothing in common with the people who support him, but you nutters are all about the jungles, not interested in common sense, or the truth.
No matter the cost, if it is a real emergency you call. Being alive is more important than $2000.
Its 800 in CANADA thats with our health care that covers everything else
In civilized countries you call an ambulance in case of emergency, not in case you can afford it.
When instead of wanting to get better you just want to die because it's either that or living in crippling debt for the rest of your life... The land of the free.
I'm uber driver, more than twice I brought people to hospital, even with blood out
In Israel, ambulances are only free (covered by national health insurance) if you're admitted to the hospital. Makes sense...they're not meant to be taxis.
its similar in australia. depending on what state. in NSW we pay anywhere from $500 upwards
For all those saying they would rather have lower taxes, or that in the UK we have free healthcare but pay higher taxes etc... here's a little comparison of a UK take home salary calculator and a US one. Based on UK Salary of £20,000 after taxes and National Insurance you would take home £17,135.84. In the US, if you earned $20,000 after taxes you would take home $17,486. The difference is minimal. I know what I'd rather.
My bro had a hospital ER visit a few months ago, stayed about 3 hours. Total bill for insurance was $26,000.
In Las Vegas, I had to take an ambulance from a clinic to Valley Hospital 3 blocks away because I was in cardiac arrest, the charge was $1000. They said I was lucky it was so close, because was less than a mile. A year later, a friend was in a serious accident outside of Vegas and required a helicopter flight to Valley. The cost was $30,000.
Okay so we're going to make the ambulance rides free. How are you going to pay for the ambulance and all the emergency equipment inside? It's not like buying gum, or even an iPhone. How are you going to pay the driver and all the paramedics that ride along? Wait, don't tell me: the taxpayer should pick up the tab. "The rich". Did you know that there isn't enough money IN THE WORLD to make health care for everyone free?
Capitalist greed and exploitation of the most fragile people. Is America Great yet?
OK people who have health insurance usually have an ambulance covered under their policies. People who do not, although they would be billed, would probably never pay anyway so the hospital ends up eating the cost which they then end up passing on to the consumer who can pay. This is why we need universal healthcare in the United States so we all actually pay and corporation should pay more since they have now made them selves ‘people’.
Well how do the well trained personnel who come scoop up the broken or sick get paid in your country?
you have to pay for this in canada too. shockingly, things cost money?
Exactly why I would never call an ambulance.... I would go bankrupt just paying that bill, let alone the hospital bill....
When I saw 911 the 80's documentary series (not today TV drama). I tought that's a great public service response system in the US But they have to pay???
Just to add clarity (and not defending it, at all) an ambulance only costs money if you take a ride. or a bandaid. This is to prevent 3rd parties from not calling on the fear the individual needing help didn't have insurance. (or, 3rd parties from getting hit with a massive bill because they did the right thing.)
Usually faster to call a taxi or uber than an ambulance anyway tbh
In Canada - the place where everyone thinks health care is "free" (it isn't) - you are charged for using ambulances. In Ontario, it is $45 for emergencies and $240 if they deem it a "non-emergency". Most group benefits (employer provided insurance) cover the cost and people on social assistance are exempt. They get the bill, but take it to their social worker or take proof of social assistance to the hospital and the costs are waived.
this is America, where we will treat your illness but dont care about preventing it
In Sweden, it's free. Well, all of us are paying through taxes but we know that when we do have to go by ambulance or get sick in general it won't ruin your life. That we take for granted. Same for everybody. It's quality of life.
If you don't have the need to be a number, if you eat everyday, if you live well and have plenty of time to travel, just don't go there. You have almost everything. What you need is to look at America as it is nowadays and assume you have to close your month and stop saying "REALLY?????!!!!!" We live in a better place for sure. And I'm sorry for you all that keep dreaming about another USA!
My daughter was hospitalized at a MAJOR hospital. She needed a 3rd surgery and this had to be done at the eye center which we accessed via elevators and basement paths. After the surgery she was not able to be take back through the basement because of the hospital policy since post op she was more fragile and the risk of being stuck in the old elevators...so they called an ambulance to drive us up the driveway. LITERALLY UP A SMALL HILL ON THE SAME PROPERTY. $1400.00. It took 4 times longer to fill out the one form than the ride itself.
To be fair, I had to pay for an ambulance the two times one was called for me, and I live in Canada. It wasn't $2000 though, more like $300. Emergency services are not funded by the public health system, they're municipal for the most part.
I went to the doc for mild chest pain, they did an EKG and it was abnormal. So they said I needed to go to the hospital downtown, to the ER, where they had everything they needed to help me. I said “okay I’ll head down there” and they said no, an ambulance was going to take me. They wouldn’t let me drive myself. Got into an ambulance, went to the ER, and it ended up they couldn’t say what was wrong with me, only what wasn’t wrong with me. Not a heart attack. Not a stroke. And a lot of people have abnormal EKGs, they said. So I went home. The next week, I got a $4000 hospital bill, and a separate ambulance bill for $1500 (due on receipt). I have insurance through my work, and they wouldn’t cover the ambulance at all.
In South Africa we also pay for ambulances and hospitals? Some of us have medical aid (if we can afford it) but savings get depleted quickly and then you have to pay privately anyway.
And if you need to be airlifted by helicopter the cost is $30,000 and up
WTF AMERICA. In Finland if you are signed in the hospital and they need to move you it’s FREE. If you get a heart attack and someone calls an ambulance for you, they take you to the nearest hospital but afterwards you get a fee at home because you need to pay the own risk/deductible which is around 28 dollars, max 35 dollars. Same goes if you call the ambulance yourself. But in many cases it’s totally FREE.
That is so crazy.. a lot of people die because of this and again the poor suffer.
These things cost money though. Maintenance, paying salaries of the medical staff ...it'd just be coming out through taxes if it was "free". How do you think it's "free" on other countries? And alot of times in socialized medicine, hospitals and doctors offices are way understaffed, underpaid and they have to see as many peoples possible, so they only have around 10-15 minutes with every patient. And also, when you don't pay, alot of things need to be prioritized to save money. So if you're not gonna die in a few days, you may have to wait up to half a year to get an appointment. Every system has it's pros and cons in my opinion
This is outrageous! Elect me President and we'll not only have free ambulances, we'll have free every t hing
I paid $500 for an ambulance because I didn't know it was at least mostly covered by insurance, and it wasn't mentioned on the bill. Sucker!
When I was dehydrated last summer my mom had to call the ambulance and our insurance covered some but it was still like 833 dollars
I work in EMS in USA. I have regular conversations with EMS providers from the UK. First: they are allowed to refuse service and transportation if they deem the persons emergency does not require an ambulance. Second: staffing has been a problem in the UK with reports of ambulance responding with only 1 crew member which means no care or evaluation is provided entity's to hospital. Third: due to short staffing and services overwhelming resources at hospitals paramedics are often required to remain with patients on their cots providing care until the hospital accepts them, this is IN the ER, with one paramedic telling me he went in for a shift and brought in one person and remained with them for their 1212 hour shiftentirhoushift.
And if your insurance (if you have it) doesn't cover ambulance rides, you're SOL.
I lived in Nottingham fro 4 years and I loved the NHS. I know it has it's issues, but it's a far, far better system than what we have in the USA. God help the English if American Insurance Providers ever get their hands on the NHS.
I wanted to live in the USA until I learned about the cost of health care:
Same. I used to think I'd want to move there but no. I'll be happy paying my taxes and getting reasonable bills if I get sick. If it gets really bad I can even get some financial help.

Some of us live in areas without professional ambulances, relying on emergency services staffed by volunteers. You don't have to pay them but it's nice if you donate a bit so they don't have to have as many bakesales to pay for life-saving supplies.
Magic ambulances are free. Real ambulances staffed with professionals that are properly maintained and operated by trained staff are very expensive. Our dear friends in the UK are clever enough to have found ways to spread the cost. I'm guessing it's through taxes. https://blog.thesalarycalculator.co.uk/paye/tax/comparison-of-uk-and-usa-take-home/
And this is why I refused to let the EMT's touch me after a head-on collision that almost killed me. I'll take myself to the hospital, thanks. That bill will probably bankrupt me by itself, I don't need the added $1,000 for a 2 minute ride in an ambulance.

Just out of curiosity: Does that mean people don’t call an ambulance if they see a car crash or so? Or is it always the victim who pays - which would probably lead to the victim bringing charges to the one who called the ambulance.
It would be the person who was transported via the ambulance is who would pay. Plus in an emergency situation, you would be calling 911 to be connected with an emergency dispatcher who would send emergency services.

That is crazy... that is fake news. Where are you getting these numbers from????? It costs $200 tops . If you don't have insurance they negotiate it down. This is false info.
As someone coming from a poor family, no, please not! The other way around would be fine - charging later if there was no actual medical issue. But we have that reimbursement thing for medical bills of jobless people here, and it lead to many people suffering because they couldn‘t afford to go to the doctor and receive a refund months later.

I feel like most of these are American issues. I live in the USA, and I'm so sick of everything wrong with our country. My 11 year old sister is already worrying about affording college, and I actually felt guilty for calling an ambulance for my mom when I found out how much it had cost. When I go to school, I automatically make a plan for how I would get out of an school shooting. It cost $300 for me to go to Urgent Care and find out I've had Tendonitis in my wrist for 6 months. And, compared to the kids being held in cages, my family is lucky. I'm hoping I'll be able to save enough money to go to college in Canada, and hopefully live there when I'm old enough. For now I just get to sit and watch while my country falls to pieces :(
I hate to be the bearer of bad news but unless you immigrate to Canada you won't be able to avail yourself of most of the Candian public services. Also, the tuition rates for international students are usually 3 or 4 times the cost for a domestic student. And they still have to get extra health insurance or pay out of pocket in many provinces. Personally, I'd welcome you here - but it's harder than most folks think, so I guess start planning early? One of my American friends even married a Canadian after going to school here for years and she didn't qualify for permanent residence until she was in her 40s. She had to keep going to school (as an international student) for ages because she could only get a student visa - and no school means visa is over and she'd have to leave. We need a swap program where a pro-oil/gun/etc Canadian can just trade citizenship with a socialist American. :p

America: Land of the free for only the wealthy and the ultra-privileged. I was born here. I grew up here. I’m in poverty here, after struggling since age 15 to work in the “real world”, where your employer can abuse you to the point where you end up on disability (if you’re lucky; I COULD be homeless and worse off, but I suppose they could still drive me to that point with further social system cuts). What a shithole country. It is getting shittier by the month, as our current dumpster fire administration makes it even better to be rich and even worse to be poor. And yet, people support Trump and his cronies because they think he hates the same people they hate. No, the democrats weren’t fixing this s**t, either. Vote anti-corporate, or you will just be voting for more of the same. Under republicans, it’s like an impending disaster in realtime. Under democrats, it’s a boring dystopia that people are slowly acclimated to.
interesting because im neither wealthy or ultra privileged and am in fact a lower class immigrant from a formerly socialist country. i seem to enjoy the same freedom here as everyone else, and i can tell you that i would much rather live here than the country I moved here from (the USSR). it sounds like you might actually not know how bad other countries have it, possibly because you've lived in america your whole life. am i wrong? have you ever actually experienced life outside the US, and especially in a socialist country like cuba or north korea? curious to know

As an Aussie, I'm not really fond of our concentration camps or the idea that one in five people in Australia now work two jobs in order to survive while our leaders give themselves a raise, or that one lunatic of an ex-PM described windmills as 'Dark Satanic Mills' this week, or that there was a huge defunding of our major scientific organisations. The lesson is mostly that none of us can afford to be overly complacent these days, and we all need to work on standing up for science and supporting one another.

This whole article made me sick. Not because of how “bad” the average American has it because of the anti-American tree-hugging liberally political agenda behind it. If you feel this country is so bad, leave.
amen! I'm an immigrant and this offends me too. I love America. My family came here from the ussr. We fled a fascist socialist dystopia, a real one where people starved to death from man-made famines, a country where the government would send a miniature kangaroo court to your home and execute you in your backyard, labeling you a "kulak" (clenched fist) for not giving up all of your food and property to the government so your children can starve. These spoiled American brats have the nerve to complain about the US being "dystopic" and about how evil capitalism is when my family literally starved to death in their homes from a man made famine created by a bunch of socialists who believe in the same toxic ideology they do. If you think this is bad as an American imagine seeing this through the eyes of an immigrant who fled from socialism like I did. It's beyond disturbing

Every time I hear something this twisted about America, I love my country a lot more. Imagine, most universities are FREE. You just have to be good enough to pass exams to get there and that is that. And if you find yourself in need of an ambulance, you pay NOTHING. You just get driven to the closest hospital, taken care of, because we all have health insurance. If you are suicidal, you get help, not more debts. Jesus, I knew Trump was an a*****e, but this isn't just about one dumb president, is it.

uhm yeah there was. Postwar America was absolutely a golden age. Socioeconomic conditions in the US, even for people who were historically oppressed was light years ahead of what we have today. also the scandanivian countries' systems only work due to their small size and cultural homogenity. do you honestly think a country as massive and diverse as the US could ever sustain something like that? I get it, you're a left winger and you hate america, but to outright deny that there was never a golden age is profoundly ignorant. Postwar America absolutely was a golden age.

I was struck by something similar a short while ago: Earlier today I was on a celebrity gossip site (my secret guilty pleasure lol) and there were back to back articles about Cardi B and Miley Cyrus. The comments section of both pieces were dominated by someone I shall dub White Supremace Barbie. On the Cardi piece she dripped venom and disgust at how the singer talks, dresses, her entire way of life was deemed low-class and hideous. Miley though, according to WSB (the article tells us how Miley had a few years where she basically acted identical to Cardi), was "soooooo funny lolll" "My hero cuz she dgaf" etc. Scary thing was I'm sure he commentator herself was totally unaware of her blatant racial bias. She appeared to be half my age though, so I didn't even challenge the kid. Just left the website feeling a little bit more aware and scared sh**less at how much we are regressing. Sorry for the essay.

thats asking too much from the left. being a good person isn't even a concept they're familiar with

Load More Replies... i know, maybe act instead of talk about all of these issues. No problems were ever solved by making up witty post's instead of actually contacting your state, congressman, maybe even put in an effort to write a letter or 5? thats the problem with America . Everyone wants to complain but when it comes to taking action ...crickets
not only that but they complain about the most dumb and mundane things. its always capitalism or trump's fault. it's always someone or something holding them down. bunch of whiny permanent victims. i am an immigrant who immigrated to america in the early 1990s and i love it here. im very thankful to be fortunate enough to have made it here. i hate socialism (i am from the soviet union and my family were murdered by socialists, literally) and I love america. you'll notice 99% of the time its always an american complaining about this stuff. you'll never hear us immigrants from socialist countries complain about america. we love it here and are very grateful for everything we have here. americans have no idea how good they have it!

Load More Replies... I'm an American and this makes me want to scream and slam my head against the wall. If I could afford to move to another country, I would do it in a split second. THAT's how much this country has failed its citizens.
please hurry and move so that there is more room for immigrants like me who are actually grateful to be here

We must all remember, there never was a golden age, there is no land of utopia. I do agree though, we in the US need to consider copying those Scandanavian countries, but on healthcare, not just their damn trendy furniture and pop bands.
uhm yeah there was. Postwar America was absolutely a golden age. Socioeconomic conditions in the US, even for people who were historically oppressed was light years ahead of what we have today. also the scandanivian countries' systems only work due to their small size and cultural homogenity. do you honestly think a country as massive and diverse as the US could ever sustain something like that? I get it, you're a left winger and you hate america, but to outright deny that there was never a golden age is profoundly ignorant. Postwar America absolutely was a golden age. It wasnt until the oil crisis of the 70s that things started going back to hell

lol nobody is "pushing" this on the world my family immigrated here knowing full well what problems the US has. Your problems are nothing compared to the ones we suffered in the USSR. So please speak for yourself. This immigrant is proud to be a naturalized American citizen since 2003 and I love America. I'd never want to live anywhere else, especially the socialist dump we came from!

I was struck by something similar a short while ago: Earlier today I was on a celebrity gossip site (my secret guilty pleasure lol) and there were back to back articles about Cardi B and Miley Cyrus. The comments section of both pieces were dominated by someone I shall dub White Supremace Barbie. On the Cardi piece she dripped venom and disgust at how the singer talks, dresses, her entire way of life was deemed low-class and hideous. Miley though, according to WSB (the article tells us how Miley had a few years where she basically acted identical to Cardi), was "soooooo funny lolll" "My hero cuz she dgaf" etc. Scary thing was I'm sure he commentator herself was totally unaware of her blatant racial bias. She appeared to be half my age though, so I didn't even challenge the kid. Just left the website feeling a little bit more aware and scared sh**less at how much we are regressing. Sorry for the essay.
"supremace" lol i'm still laughing. how old even are you like 12?

Please read my article entitled "Why are we doing this to ourselves?" which suggests how we could actually wipe out so many problems so easily. https://moralismblog.wordpress.com/2019/06/25/why-are-we-doing-this-to-ourselves/
i agree i mean did you see what the socialists did to ukrainians during holodomir? im glad nothing like that happens in america
