Dystopia is impossible?
This sentence is hurting my brain.
Dystopia is, as in “We are in a dystopia.”
Can someone please shoot this meme template in the neck already? The Drake one, too.
Pick a better format that doesn’t feature this piece of shit’s face. Why are we still giving these fuckos any publicity

The Calvin one is right there. Hell… I’d even take Lucy from Peanuts over this nutsack.

As I understand the definitions of both words, they refer specifically to imaginary societies.
Is what? Just is? Right now you mean?
Nonsense. You’re only saying that because it’s never worked.
Me? Fail English? That’s unpossible!
My sibling in Christ, this is what these words were specifically built to mean.
The U in Utopia is both the privative “u” and a form of the meliorative “eu”. The word was coined by Thomas More in 1516 to literally to mean “a place that is so perfect it cannot exist”, and the hope was that the fiction would serve as an unattainable model to aim for, to motivate and direct the progress of real-life society Though the word “dystopia” was later coined as an inverse mirror of utopia, it doesn’t use nor does it require a mirrored etymological wordplay: “dys” just means “bad”, basically, no implication of inexistence there. And for good reason: the dystopia is a trope that is used mainly in anticipatory fiction as a warning for where real-life society could be headed, as such it would make no sense for it to be depicted as impossible, on the contrary it must have a ring of truth to be an effective warning.
