Yeah I love working 13 hours a day and being kidnapped by the secret police for my opinion and technology being so controlled we have to rely on parkour to get words and intel around.

Reminder that with where we headed right now, with drones, satelitte imagery being creepily precise, drones and all that even running around roofs won't do. Even pigeon mail would be compromised. We ARE going to live in brave new world/1987, vietnam, uk and shit are the beginning.

People aren't suffering enough and are in a state of daze/shock so that's why they're so confident.

Funny. Europe just allowed all the modified /bug laced shit to enter our territory with mercosur and they also went back on multiple interdiction related to monsanto and cie with harmful pesticides. Isn't it funny how small countries who said fuck off to pesticides, and were planned to have agricultural branches collapsing by big companies didn't collapse but actually had fruitful bountiful harvests free of chemical shit clogging the soils and giving you cancer? Well I guess I'm just a conspiratard for keeping up with the world and having worked in the fields and saw what the fuck is happening there because some turd said so.
For your information 10 minutes in the vineyard while a tractor is spraying noxious crap is enough to give heavy headaches, and they do it even when there's wind when it's supposedly against the law. But again, who cares. Bankers and chemical corps want nothing but to protect our interests.

Yeah, losing the gene lottery because the industry needs 60IQ tards to pull levers is nice. Having our entire history wiped out to help with a docile homogeneous order is nice. Having the commandatur up your ass the instant you form independent thoughts is nice. Genuineness and the search of reason and meaning going against the consumption of goods and the march of the industrial tentacular tyranny is good. Getting wacked for suspicion of association with resistants and saboteurs is good. Being tied to a chair and interrogated china style is good.

How did Mirror's Edge 1 manage to not be woke at all, despite having a female main character who went around whipping ass and doing impossible things all the time, but Mirror's Edge 2 was insufferable?

ME1 had barely any dialogue, barely any plot and barely any worldbuilding, thats why.

ME2 isn't even that bad, its mostly just teen angst plus the obvious communist terrorist group who isn't even portrayed as objectively good.
>>
>>722615803
I've lived in cities and in small towns in Wyoming/Montana/Idaho. Cities are a fun place to visit but a terrible place to live unless you're rich. Filthy and disgusting, everyone is rude, and being polite or friendly to strangers is taken as a threat. The subways are unpleasant and stinky, and there's about a 15% chance you'll have some unpleasant encounter with someone who is trying to get money or something else from you.
>>
>>722615756
>>722615890
ME2 wasn't really bad because of the writing anyway IMO, the atmosphere, mostly from a visual design and OST perspective, was a downgrade and the decision to go open-world was a mistake, going from the varied missions, each with a specific layout to follow to instead going back and forth over the same ground over and over again with only a few unique missions.
>>
>>722615756

>>722616182
Not really, everyone knows what it means. sometimes people pretend not to just to be difficult, like you. woke is being preachy and annoying about a certain brand of political and social opinions. Just having those opinions isn't really a problem, but pushing them loudly on everyone, all the time, is.

Because that's not what woke is.

ME1 is just about a dumb rebellious girl who wants to save her sister from a frame job. That's all there really is to the game. There's no lecturing or posturing. The antagonist is just generically tyrannical without any real prescribed politics.

What stuff in the game makes it out to be China?
>>
>>722618065
It's not elevators themselves, it's just the amount with the mega-skyscraper spam in ME's city. every building of thousands has like 50 to 100+ floors. Braindead driving isn't the only alternative. The city also has traffic anyway. There's a middleground of having a good concentration. Not too tall, not too close or far. The current infrastructure is cranked up to 20, and you probably wouldn't even have a view from most buildings unless your past floor 30. it's on the line of dystopic.

No. They are filled with well-equipped and heavily armed thugs, with the full backing of the establishment and their purpose is to attack you and intimidate you into falling in line.
If you are not a mindless cucked slave who's dedicated to toil for a pittance in order to enrich your master orders of magnitude more, the streets are not safe for you because you have not been neutered enough for the regime to feel 100% safe from you.

I wasn't saying it's literally supposed to be china btw, but china does take away people who they deem traitors. The police put up curtains and walls too, before driving off in black vans.

I would kill to live somewhere as nice as this. I'm all for dystopia if it benefits me personally, I don't give a fuck if criminals are mistreated. Realistically all violent criminals and thieves deserve nothing but the worst yet they cry victim and society chooses to treat them like humans rather than the lower-functioning animals that they are.
>>
>>722623157
The problem with dystopias is that they don't just treat violent criminals and thieves poorly. Anyone who doesn't fully support the state and do what they're told is considered a criminal and treated the same.
>>
i wanna do hardcore parkour
>>
>>722623275
And it wouldn't just be limited to "those who don't support the state". Today we already see regimes with arbitrary rules that oppress different groups out of what can only be pure malice or jealousy. You could have a well-maintained totalitarian dystopia where you and everyone who looks like you is deemed the unworthy underclass, and all the privileged groups are prioritized above you.

Most normal people would agree that losing all privacy is worth it if it means you won't get stabbed on the street.

>>722627094
There is a better solution...

where I live everyone has guns. All you have to do to carry a rifle or shotgun in public is be 18. And all you have to do to conceal carry a handgun is be 21 and not have a felony. And there's almost zero crime. It's almost like certain people are the problem, and no amount of giving up privacy will make them behave differently.

besides, let's say you live under 100% surveillance. Something goes wrong and you don't even have to call the cops, a computer already alerted them. How long until they arrive? And what happens before that?
