weird grammar to say someone made it up?

There’s a distinction to be made between things that “look” dystopian, and actual dystopias. I think a lot of our current visual language of dystopia was taken from fascist/communist design choices which were in many respects independent of all the oppression they perpetrated. this example really drove that home for me, since the media it inspired came to mind before the reality.

wow, I was assuming metropolis. it just screams dystopia to me, but I guess they had to get that aesthetic from somewhere

it didn’t take off because micro payments are hard. still a better vision than the advertising hellscape we got
