You are free to admit you like dictatorships, extreme policing and eradication of creativity and human emotion.
If you look at the death star, see grey, white and black imperial uniforms, how terrified people are upon making a single mistake because those incur the death penalty, and the disregard for life, both of victims and their own troops, and you think “that’s a society I want to live in” there is really nothing left to say.
It’s clean tho!! Can’t are argue with that, right?
“At least the trains ran on time” kinda attitude
Well they where! Or else they would’ve been shot!
A horrible way to motivate trains, but they where motivated ;-)
Anon didn’t even make it past the intro cinematic. Truly the peak of media literacy.
you expect people to engage with media? what is this, 2015?
China stands as a current authoritarian model which is being championed by people like Australian economist Steve Keen.
If you can handle the ethnic genocide, the lack of due process, suppression of information and free speech, and no democracy, you can look forward to clean streets, low crime, and high economic growth. Some people believe that’s a worthy trade. I do not.

Way to learn the exact wrong lesson from china.
China does a lot of good and a lot of bad.
We need to learn the pragmatism, government investment and holding private companies accountable part from them, not the censorship and surveillance.
I fear we are doing the opposite. Worst of both worlds.
How did that old joke go?
“Quebec could have gotten French food, American tech and British culture, but instead they chose French tech, American culture and British food”
Yeah, I’m at a point where I kinda hope China becomes the world overlord… I’d rather “fuck you, society comes first” than “fuck you, billionaires come first”.
Singapore did it first
Don’t forget corruption
Also lots of skyscrapers and little old-city feel, lack of public transit & bicycle paths and mainwalks, lack of greenery.
as a treat
Being in the in group under fascism needs to have its perks, otherwise there would be no incentive.
Okay distopian hellscape aside the sound track was banging for this game
Games in the 2000s
Intelligent beings have known that for decades or even centuries.
the fact that the frame cap was 30fps and the game chugged during action sequences down to 20.

I mean its not “clean” its sterile, not “pretty” but empty of color and creativity, not “low crime” but void of human agency, not “high trust” but kept docile by threat of violence.

This isn’t even touching the scene in the second d game where they forcibly implant her with a chip that puts ads in her vision
