This truly is a dystopia

"Trolls, fanatics, rearing its ugly head." In case you didn't notice, I'm the one who started this thread, and it was meant as a political comment about UN, which has an undeserved reputation about being something good and positive. It is not. It has been a disaster for the western world, and their original purpose is long gone. Time to find a replacement, or let them move into a new headquarters in the muslim world, which at least would have been a more honest move.

What arrogance and paranoia. What the hell has Donald Trump to do with the message board closing? And no, it has definitely not something to do with serious posts, no matter how much you disagree with them. Or maybe you think a board can only be considered "serious" if it is a politically correct echo chamber.

I don't think it was ever intended to be dystopian. It's more classical sci fi. Dystopia is defined as "an imagined place or state in which everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one". This isn't a world in which everything is bad, it's just a world where people are still acting the same way they do today in spite of having much more advanced technology. Everything "bad" in this world also exists in our world (wars, poverty, etc) just on a more limited scale.
