#ComfortIsControl

[dystopediapod]

Sometimes the scariest dystopias are the ones that feel like utopias.

The more comfort, control, and convenience we have - the more we have to lose. And sometimes, the greatest threat isn’t from outside, but from within. We’re hardwired to take the path of least resistance.

The most alarming thing about The Machine Stops is how humanity sleepwalks into extinction - not through violence, but through dependence. Through apathy.

"Something good enough had long since been accepted by our race."

This week on Dystopedia, we unpacked the eerie brilliance of E.M. Forster’s 1909 warning.

Next week, we shift gears - but not themes. A future controlled by corporations, privatized everything, and the illusion of justice. RoboCop (1987) is up next. And trust us, the satire hits way too close to home.

What about a mc/mutt that is very clingy in their sleep? Curling up against you?

She’s clingy, alright. She curls up against me like she can’t get enough. I use it. Whenever I want. A good excuse to smother her a bit, make her feel how close she really is
