10 Devastating Dystopias | Britannica

https://www.britannica.com/list/10-devastating-dystopias 10 Devastating Dystopias By Mic Anderson The curation of this content is at the discretion of the author, and not necessarily reflective of the views of Encyclopaedia Britannica or its editorial staff. For the most accurate and up-to-date information, consult individual encyclopedia entries about the topics. >From delivering powerful critiques of toxic cultural practices to displaying the strength of the human spirit in the face of severe punishment from baneful authoritarians, dystopian novels have served as indispensable teachers to their readers through propelling societies into seemingly possible futuristic worlds. So jump into your time machine and visit each of these dystopian societies! The Time Machine (1895), by H.G. Wells Morlocks in "The Time Machine" (1960), directed by George Pal. © 1960 Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Inc.; photograph from a private collection In his premier novel, H.G. Wells begot the concept of time travel as well as pioneered the nascent genre of science fiction. The Time Machine features the so-named Time Traveller who ventures hundreds of thousands of years into the future, in which the human race, presumably thanks to evolution and the forces of unchecked capitalism, has split in two—the dissipated, hedonistic Eloi and the subterranean, vicious Morlocks, who terrorize the night and feed upon the former. In this futuristic dystopia, Wells craftily spells out a premonition of doom for the human race and the Earth itself while critiquing various social practices and beliefs held by the upper echelon of British society. So, while immersing yourself in this dystopian conquest, keep a keen eye out for hate-filled Morlocks and even futuristic crab monsters! The Iron Heel (1907), by Jack London Jack London’s first categorically political novel, The Iron Heel, eerily prophesizes the disastrous rise of fascism in the first half of the 20th century and earned praise from such renowned social critics as George Orwell and Leo Trotsky for his perceptive portrayals of how decaying capitalism could mutate into an authoritative plutocracy, in which a dominating circle of wealthy individuals turn farmers into serfs and laborers into near-slaves. Rhetorically, London demonstrates his abounding skill, as the story of the “2nd Revolution” during the then futuristic 1912–32 period is relayed to the reader through a fictitious historian in the 26th century (who lives in a tranquil socialist society that enjoys economic and social prosperity) who is editing a manuscript that was penned by Avis Everhard, the political adherent and lover of the revolution’s political leader. The manuscript recounts how the plutocracy is able to victimize members of the lower classes and beat out democracy from society through secret mercenaries as well as how the revolution eventually fails to overcome such a powerful, seemingly omnipresent force. Thus, this spellbinding dystopian novel predicts conspiracies and attacks of the pre-World War II era, all while espousing the importance of democracy in the face of fascist regimes. My (1920; We), by Yevgeny Zamyatin Yevgeny Zamyatin, one of the most subversive authors to hail from Russia, penned perhaps the most fundamental dystopian text in 1920. Although Russia forbade its publication until 1988, My (or We in English) circulated throughout the nation in manuscript form and found itself published in the United States as early as 1924. The novel depicts life in the “Single State,” where citizens are identified by numbers, live in glass houses, are assigned sex partners, and don identical uniforms, through the journal entries of an engineer of a government project to conquer neighboring planets. It has been credited as the fundamental text upon which most modern dystopias are based, chief among them being George Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four (1949). Through the consistently and unanimously elected “Benefactor” and his totalitarian dictatorship, Zamyatin effectively warns against the dangers of strict utilitarianism and conformity. The extremity of Zamytain’s dystopia is so great that, in one instance, a female character is not allowed to procreate for the reason that she’s too short. Brave New World (1932), by Aldous Huxley Aldous Huxley’s empirical, efficiently managed society that suppresses emotions and nonconformity is perhaps the best-known dystopia on this list. In Brave New World, John the Savage—a feeling, thinking, and creative individual who is familiar with various primitive spiritual rituals—and his mother are introduced to this ostensible utopia, only to learn of its euthanasia practices as well as to suffer from the fatal effects of a pain-relieving happiness-creating drug called soma. What ensues is an unadulterated tragedy, in which the novel’s author deftly displays the toll of ubiquitous conformity on the human, feeling spirit. Atlas Shrugged (1957), by Ayn Rand Ayn Rand, in her magnum opus Atlas Shrugged, creates a dystopia in the not-so-distant future where collective governing, ruled by overly bureaucratic and outright corrupt moochers, has led the United States to the brink of economic collapse. Rand’s protagonist—Dagny Taggart, a prodigious railroad tycoon—and her business are continually thwarted by government regulations, leaving her to choose between endlessly battling alone the rampant corruption in order to keep her business alive or abandoning the company that she has worked tirelessly for since she was of age and joining Galt’s Gulch, a secretive utopia where all productive and creative members of society (namely scientists, artists, and industrialists) fled so that they could create a world in which rationality and self-determination reign supreme. Thus, this dystopian novel has become celebrated by Rand followers as being the mouthpiece for Objectivism, Rand’s personal philosophy. A Clockwork Orange (1962), by Anthony Burgess A Clockwork Orange, known for its unrelenting depictions of “ultra-violence” in a futuristic dystopia where incorrigible gangs of youths threaten the mind-numbing monotony of the state-ruled society, is relayed to readers through a violent youth named Alex, who employs an idiolect derived from English, American, and Russian slang. Burgess follows his antihero as he, along with his “droogs” commits desultory acts of violence against normal citizens, culminating in a savage beating that turns fatal, after which Alex is abandoned by his subordinates to be charged for the murder of an old lady. He is then confined by police and subjected to state-sponsored intensive psychotherapy, in which he is drugged and forced to watch heinous acts of violence until he is no longer his former, aberrant self. In this unique dystopian universe, Burgess is able to masterfully display contradictions formed from the opposing minds of human nature, from its perfectibility to its outright depravity, and the extreme political systems upon which they are based. The Handmaid’s Tale (1985), by Margaret Atwood First edition dust jacket to Margaret Atwood's "The Handmaid's Tale" (1986) The Handmaid's Tale Between the Covers Rare Books, Inc., Merchantville, N.J. In The Handmaid’s Tale, Margaret Atwood envisions a future theocratic American country in which women are categorized in a hierarchy as wives, servants, breeders, and so on. The story is framed as a handwritten account of a handmaid (breeder) whose sole purpose in life is to supply babies for infertile wives who are higher in the social hierarchy. As Offred (the narrator’s given name in the new regime) becomes useful through the capabilities of her body, she becomes repulsed by herself and only finds relief in memories of her life, friends, and family before the theocratic ruling began. The Handmaid’s Tale serves as a powerful feminist text that effectively illustrates the horrors that women can face at the hands of overly conservative ideologies. The Children of Men (1992), by P.D. James Penned in 1992 and set in 2021, P.D. James’s The Children of Men envisions a foreseeable future in which the human population has become infertile and an authoritative Warden of England retains order where anarchy could easily come to dominate. With a dying population, the Warden of England has installed various regulations such as mass “voluntary” suicides by the elderly, rampant cruel treatment toward prisoners of the state, and mandatory sperm testing and female inspections. In this dystopian future, the reader finds the dispassionate college professor Dr. Theo Faron, a cousin of the Warden, as he joins a small cohort of subversives in opposition to the unelected dictator. The Children of Men not only conveys strong warnings for its readers but also tracks the journey of a man’s soul as the protagonist finds something to fight and live for, even when the odds are seemingly stacked against him. The Giver (1993), by Lois Lowry Jonas, an unusual pale-eyed 11-year-old boy turning 12, comes of age and is assigned the prestigious role of Receiver of pain and memories in an apparent utopia where war, fear, pain, and choices have ceased to exist. He meets with the Giver, a weary though benevolent grandfather figure, who bestows upon Jonas memories of the world and Elsewhere, when and where colors, passions, love, hate, and war exist. Growing discontent with the monotony of his society and enraged when he learns what it means to be “released,” Jonas, with the Giver, conspire to endow their society with what it has been missing in the dystopia created in Lois Lowry’s renowned novel The Giver. The Road (2006), by Cormac McCarthy As survivors in a gloomy postapocalyptic America, where anarchy dominates after an unspecified disaster, a father and son trek across the doom-ridden terrain with a pistol, scavenged food, and each other in Cormac McCarthy’s Pulitzer Prize-winning dystopian novel The Road. The father, committed entirely to keeping his son alive at whatever cost, and son stave off starvation at every corner and deal with occasional interlopers who have also survived, all while coping with the near impossible task of keeping memories of happiness and loved ones alive in a world that rains gray and wreaks desolation. In his deft prose, rife with morbid imagery, Cormac McCarthy spells out metaphors that offer bleak hope in the face of total devastation and provide wisdom beyond value, thus making The Road perhaps the most important dystopian novel of the early 21st century.

Funder Agrees to $1 Settlement with CFPB over 9/11 Fund Litigation
by Gunnar Larson 02 Dec '22

02 Dec '22

https://litigationfinancejournal.com/funder-agrees-to-1-settlement-with-cfp… As the litigation finance industry has matured, the possibility of funders running afoul of legal oversight grows. This was the case in a recent settlement between RD Legal Funding LLC and the U.S. Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Reporting in Reuters covers the announced settlement, which highlighted the funder’s alleged predatory lending practices with 9/11 first responders, where it allegedly charged 250% interest on loans to these clients. While RD Legal did not admit any wrongdoing, the settlement required the funder to pay a whopping $1 for breaking New York’s state law concerning high-interest loans. RD Legal had argued that the financial assistance it provided to the first responders were not loans, but instead ‘sales of legal receivables’ as part of its funding agreements. The CFPB and the New York Attorney General’s Office had originally sought higher damages outlined under the state’s consumer protection law. However, the CFPB stated that this settlement provides the first responders access to the victim relief fund, totalling $482 million–hence the miniscule agreement.

Looks like a photo of Juan Garofalo defending Assange's dick https://www.unz.com/ishamir/the-long-captivity-of-julian-assange/ Manchester Guardian and Kim John Young defend Marxist-Communist fascism all the time. Like Juan Garofalo Karl Marx, Capital, Volume One, Part II: The Transformation of Money and Capital CHAPTER FOUR: THE GENERAL FORMULA FOR CAPITAL: "The capitalist knows that all commodities, however scurvy they may look, or however badly they may smell, are in faith and in truth money, inwardly circumcised Jews . . ."

so it seems that the jewnazis are now playing the 'good' cop game. The same non-human turds who have been attacking assange for the last 10 years or so like graudian.com (and john young CIA turd) now are 'defending' him. https://www.theguardian.com/gnm-press-office/2022/nov/28/an-open-letter-fro… the brazilian, pentagon-puppet and turd da silva is also posing as an assange supporter, so this seems to be yet another pentagon PSYOP. Shocking.
