Mr. Beat explains how some of those dystopian novels we were forced to read growing up in school have already (partially) come true.

It's worth noting that I think these dystopian trends started way before the current President of the United States. This goes way beyond one dude or one administration.

We have been living Sons of Liberty for a good few years now.
I recently wrote a literary analysis essay in school about how farinheit 451 warns against staying away from difficult news and ignorence
Currently reading 1984, absolute blast of a book so far.
I've read 3 of those books.
1984, farenheit, and hunger games.
None of them are applicable at all. The scenarios brought are stretched very much to conform to reality.
Funnily enough only hungergames was a good book. The others really don't deserve the aclaime.
Also 1984 and the drug book ( I didn't read that), are opposite of each other.
Ironically, saying these books are accurate, is actually propoganda.

Mr. BEAT preachin today
The fact that America didn't wake up when trump did a literal insurrection and then went on to reelect him is proof we are lost as a country.
11:51 "Think of the children" ass desire
I could understand if it were about predation but it's so obvious she's talking about LGBT-related stuff
War is peace,
Freedom is slavery,
Ignorance is strength.
Remember, every accusation is a confession.
We are in the midst of global upheaval, we have created our own dystopia, it’s happening now.
If you aren’t angry, you’re asleep!
Wake up, Wake Up, WAKE UP!!!
Love the way you formatted this video and included EVERY aspect. Its rare that people look at topics from a dozen different standpoints nowadays. Its nigh perfection!
When I was reading about the 2 minutes hate in 1984 I could literally hear my mom watching Fox News and screaming about Obama being a Muslim insurgent. I was like… Oooooooooh nooooooo
The Handmaid's Tale is more of a thinly disguised piece of literary smut along the lines of Fifty Shades of Grey than, say, 1984.
Algospeak is more pertinent than corporate speak
“Unalived”
Just recently I was debating with some right wingers who tried to argue that ben shapiros phrase "Israelis like to build. Arabs like to bomb shit and live in sewage" Was not racist or even if it was racist it just just "a bit" racist.
We are living in a dystopia
Bro i cant watch this seriously with that corporate ahh background music
What's worse is the vampires we'd imagine all along are probably not as bad as those demon in vessels that run this world.
Reminder that where it is often illegal for the government to collect some info that companies gather (lol Prism) they are allowed to just buy it.
I found 1-2 new books to read. I may reread Orwell but it’s always disturbing that there are so many portents of dystopia unheeded.
Mr bear give me money plssss let me meet chandler too
Dystopian books becoming guide books.
Unfortunately, we are also living in Idiocracy too
I read 1984
Do some research on your sponsor please

genuine ask
That’s because the current Democratic Party supporters ARE the victims in all those books. So brainwashed they pull for a political party that tells them what stove they can cook on, what size soft drinks they can buy and what car they have to drive and so brainwashed they don’t realize they are living “1984” and even demand more government control.
What are your thoughts on the Disinformation Governance Board Mr beat. Sounds a bit dystopian doesn't it? Or was that………for the good of the people?
Yes
5:00 “The Wrong face,” in the context of a society that relies so heavily on systemic oppression, colorism, featurism , xenophobia, and racism is uh lol interesting.
