Why is this a dystopia? The World State is both utopian and morally obligatory.

i don't know, the last time this book came up i guess the most important issue was whether or not being bad gets you in real trouble

Ignores basic human nature. It's not real nor possible. Essentially turning the idea into a fantasy world. God complex trying to pervert what was brought to give us happiness. The world has faced mass death of life from his ideology.

No shit, it's a fictional book. Why would I ever consider this a dystopia work?
>>22679391
I don't understand Huxley. Why do you present me with a near-perfect world, only to soapbox about how bad it is? Onions moralism seems like the only answer.

This book is essentially what Agenda 2030 looks like in practice. The only way you could see this as an utopia is if you see humans as soulless flesh robots. Unending pleasure is just as offensive to the human soul as unending misery. If it were not so, the citizens of the World State wouldn't need to drug themselves all the time.

Nigger did you even read the book? They constantly have drug themselves to make sure they dont feel anything and stay docile.

So? The standard of living is high. People are employed. They're happy. The eradication of suffering is both moral and morally obligatory.

You keep using this word u little nigglet pseud. Yet if you have to constantly do drugs to suppress ur emotions of anger and deppression then ur not really happy. Essentially its a checmical lobotomy.

There are clues in the book that the society is balanced on a razor's edge and could easily tip into chaos.

The WEF isn't going to win. The covid hoax and it's safety measures already lead to mass protests and noncompliance from a quarter of the population in the West, and if it doesn't work here, it sure as hell won't work in the third world.
The CBDC project in Nigeria was a total failure that ended up with the governor of the Nigerian central bank getting arrested, for example.

Only a quarter? They're doing better than I expected.

As for Nigeria: Well, a board has both pieces and pawns. You can gambit away some clerk in Nigeria for a better position elsewhere.

I don't know how I can join the WEF/Soros/NWO in their mission, but I hope I find out. I will stand by them, no matter what.

They're not happy the moment they feel like they need to take those drugs. So clearly the eradication of suffering isn't accomplished. It's all superficial.
