THEY ROBBED US: The Terrifying New Version of Society We Must Avoid

Families are borrowing money to feed themselves, college students are studying for jobs that have been replaced by AI, and meanwhile, entire nations are subjected to genocide as the rest of us prefer to get lost inside our phone screens to forget our mounting bills, abusive bosses and boring, miserable reality that simply fails to compete with the TikTok version. We are being mentally genocided by a system imposing a yellow perimeter around us the size of a smartphone screen. In this dystopia we are all alone, and we all want to be left alone. Oversaturated with our own real and imaginary problems, there is simply no room anymore for another person in our life, for a community.

We need to realise that WE are the system. The system is what WE make it, what we allowed it to become. I’m not offering hope. I’m suggesting the only way out: wake the fuck up.
