Comment on Me every time someone brings up possible futuristic dystopias.

You mean people think that the unimaginable environmental damage, wildfire season, trash gyres, insane housing prices, government decisions largely influenced by corporate lobbists, wage slavery, and soul crushing medical debt are normal?

Ah yes, ocean currents. Since I was an average student I was required to study meteorology, just simply name checking this tells me everything! Also they said “trash gyres” which seems to not be related to this

There are giant trash collections caused by ocean gyres. It’s certainly applicable.

A lot of people were born into this world without knowing any different, coupled with world leaders deliberately trying to either mislead or straight up lie to the masses about the real problems we’re facing.
So yeah there’s a decent chunk of people who think everything’s fine the way it is
