Converged Dystopia

The "dystopian" sci-fi genre was pretty popular in the 1970s-90s. Movies like Robocop or Demolition Man and Idiocracy were entertaining plus their authors spent some brain cells trying to imagine what the future was going to be like based on the "trends" of the prior decades. Unfortunately, they were correct, and the present day is like a dystopia movie gumbo. It's mostly Idiocracy with chunks of Robocop, Demolition Man, and They Live mixed in, especially when the aliens in "They Live" represent jewish mobsters.

A great example of this was provided by the first episode of an HBO show called Euphoria which made me nauseous because it's so bleak and disgusting. It's more or less the 90210 for the dystopian world. 90210 was a multi-year after school special. This Euphoria show seems like depraved propaganda meant to mind-poison gen Z dummies, or put another way, it's entertainment for a completely mind poisoned generation.

The main character is a mixed-race mentally ill girl who is a crackhead, which I guess is supposed to be normal now. She's having a sad mope life because she lives in the suburbs instead of the city so she is a junkie and in rehab at age 16 or whatever. The hot white girl character immediately shows her boobs, then has sex with a black kid. The white high school jock kid is a rapist sociopath. There's an obligatory trannie high schooler who goes and has butt sex with a middle aged psycho white man. The show is dripping with black/urban trash "culture" which is all a hollywood invention anyway. The "normal" kids are dunks and drug users and sit around drinking and smoking vapes like they live in a giant crack house world.

I think the "converged dystopia" is really just the "mouse utopia" and it happens over and over again throughout history, but is cycles within cycles. There are micro cycles, like generational financial scams ebbing and flowing, and larger cycles of actual capital and technology creation, war cycles, all nestled withing big climatic and geologic cycles which put hard limits on human population and activities.

It's not possible to "fix" the culture, just like it's not possible to fix dysfunctional people, and it's not possible to make the mouse utopia work.
