well part of living in a dystopia is being severely brainwashed , so it makes sense
We live on one planet that’s being over exploited we consume 1.5 earths worth of resources, its about to become shitty for every one everywhere.
their distopia is worse than mine. In my distopia i can elect vicarious cruelty against some undetermined enemy of people every 4 years.
We americans living in freedom are granted the exceptional privilege of choosing to endorse either genocide or also genocide
Damn, some of their merch is sick
I’ll just leave this here:

Idk that’s a bad meme.
Oh god what a hellscape, a dense walkable area.
Idk advertising fucking sucks, used to be banned.
Omg that ad is for a skin lightning cream isnt it?
Still streets ahead of that stroad up top
Advertising fucking sucks. There used to be no ads in the DDR there still aren’t in North Korea.
Yes, ads do fucking suck - you’re right. But zero walk-ability/bike-ability is fucking awful (and we still have the ads so it isn’t even a trade off).
Lol well it was built by the French, most of Paris or Vienna or Berlin looks like that as well. I found the advertising to be the more offensive thing in both pictures.
Dude I’ve been to Shanghai and from my pea brained American view it was the cleanest and most well designed city I’ve perhaps ever seen. You just compared tacky American bullshit made of parking lots and misery to a lovely walkable space with nice architecture. Like you can spit on the worship of consumerism on Huaihai road, yeah that’s a problem, but it’s at least an area built for human fucking beings to be able to exist outside.
Okay cool well I live in Europe all cities are like this and they’re all fucking shit.
So true, I remember when the country of Europe mandated every road be covered in advertisements
Lol what? Your reading comprehension is awful or maybe it was my writing I’m to drunk to go back and read what I said, pretty sure I never said Europe was a country or anything about the roads being full of advertising. All I said is when I looked at the original meme and posted the picture what made them look similar to me was the ubiquity of adverts. Sorry that I share your american grievances.
Anyways lots of European cities look very similar (basically like Paris) at least the cities I live in and have visited always look like Paris I named Berlin and Vienna you can add Prague to that list as well. I don’t have money to travel so I can’t say what other places look like.
honest question - have you been to US cities? I’m sure you’ve got gripes about Euro cities but the sheer unwalkability of 95% of US cities is astonishing.
Yeah I hated them. I also can’t travel to the US of A I’m on a terrorist watch list.
You wrote two paragraphs without remembering or double checking what you said? And you insult my reading comprehension? What the fuck lmao
Yeah because I know what I wrote had nothing to do with what you said.
That looks far better? Like yeah advertising sucks and I wish it were illegal but that isn’t the only issue with the original image
Road for cars vs road for people.
Are you and the person the pic is addressing both cars?
I’m sorry, is that supposed to be a comparison of something that’s bad? Can you describe what’s bad about it?
The advertising.
Edit
Advertising is so pervasive that people don’t even notice it anymore it just blends in to the background and people assume that’s what a city is meant to look like, they had no advertising in the DDR and AFAIK still don’t in NK.
I mean the single cosmetic ad is a problem and I think ads should be illegal, but all of the other signs are attached to their buildings, rather than being an advertisement. So if you’re talking about those, it is not the same.
With the exception of the one, maybe.
Gotta bleach your skin so you can look white, I’d hate to look like a farmer.
I would gladly accept 10x the amount of visible advertising if it meant I got even a fraction of the infrastructure of a typical large Chinese city
