    Classic dystopia GZ.

    "A dystopia is the idea of a society in a repressive and controlled state, often under the guise of being utopian. Examples of dystopias are characterized in books such as Brave New World, Nineteen Eighty-Four, and The Handmaid's Tale. The Iron Heel was described by Erich Fromm as "the earliest of the modern Dystopian"[1]. Dystopian societies feature different kinds of repressive social control systems, and various forms of active and passive coercion. Ideas and works about dystopian societies often explore the concept of humans abusing technology and humans individually and collectively coping, or not being able to properly cope with technology that has progressed far more rapidly than humanity's spiritual evolution. Dystopian societies are often imagined as police states, with unlimited power over the citizens. The word derives from Ancient Greek: d?s-, "bad, hard",[2] and Ancient Greek: t?p??, "place, landscape."

    The following is from an article posted by Zen Gardner 27/05/2012:

    "Push Me, Pull Me: The constant stress of continual cognitive dissonance.

    Violence, sex, and rebellion are condemned while being fiercely promoted and popularized at the same time.
    In the name of so-called freedom, restraints from political correctness and phony “security” concerns shackle whole populations, which they accept gladly in the face of threats of phony external threats such as “terrorism”.
    Supposedly representative politicians make sweeping promises and habitually proceed to do the opposite.
    Religions clearly manipulate and easily sway huge masses of fabricated insecure people, subjected to an authoritarian hierarchy and told to love a god who will send them to hell if they get out of line.
    Child abuse is condemned while it’s known to be rampant and unprosecuted amongst the elite and religious orders.
    etc!…
    Welcome to Dystopia.

    Anyone paying attention can see they’re hitting us from all sides. And that’s on purpose…it drives us to a desired place through the use of what’s called the Hegelian Dialectic."
