DYSTOPIA
Reviewing the effects of the 'COVID' event, today in 2025.....
In retrospect, 'COVID' seems to have been an undeniable 'event marker' and the catalyst for a huge change in 'human affairs'.....
and also a change, in the perception of the common man, about how political authority is wielded [by those who do wield it].
Quote:DYSTOPIAN
A dystopia is an imagined world or society in which people lead
wretched, dehumanized, fearful lives.
It is an imagined place (possibly state) in which
everything is unpleasant or bad, typically a totalitarian or environmentally degraded one.
Dystopias are often characterized by
fear or distress,
tyrannical governments, environmental disaster, or other characteristics associated with a cataclysmic
decline in society.
Themes typical of a dystopian society include:
complete control over the people in a society through the use of propaganda and police state tactics, heavy censorship of information or denial of free thought, worship of an unattainable goal, the complete loss of individuality, and heavy
enforcement of conformity......
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DystopiaSince 'COVID' 'arrived', and then 'departed'.....humanity, 'the world' [and society, particularly society in the 1st world nations], has changed markedly.
The 'quality' of our lives,
has tangibly declined, regressed.
The [previous] age of experiential human enlightenment and HOPE, seems to have moved into a dark, gloomy room.
We seem to have stepped into a much darker, and more foreboding social/societal 'environment'.
A social or societal 'environment', where light and [obvious, and consequential] truth are very readily censured and/or disparaged,
by those
who obviously despise what the 'the light', may expose [about their own agenda ??].
