Utopias. An impossible ideal. The idea of what it truly is changes with the zeitgeist, often reflecting both our greatest fears and values. We may never achieve the idea of Utopia, but we can strive for a betterment of our current lives and lives of others. What that entails, however, is the first hurdle

@épée For me, Communism is an early industrial era Utopia. Atomic era/Late Industrial era Utopia is something akin to Brave New World. A scientifically advance technocracy with an emphasis on reality and the capacity to ignore it in favor of constant pleasure. The information age Utopia is Player One Ready, in which we can no longer escape reality and must admit to our inability to create Utopia irl. But online is our Oasis.

In other words, the modern zeitgeist is that the world is fucked, and we have responded by retreating into the last known refuge of freedom and the last chance to find something that will better our world.

@Harry C I know, but it is reflective of how we feel. The oasis in the book not only held an escape from reality but a chance to better reality. Like a mirage of an oasis to man dying in a desert.

Fuck your level 1

@Harry C This is where our current society is at.

Wrong, it's getting better @Harry C .
Liberty and freedom have been under attack for years and recently there has been a backlash against authoritarian forces.

Thanks in no small part to the internet

Our Oasis
