If you were living in a dystopia, how would you even know it?<\/p>\n

The current situation certainly raises the question, as we experience unprecedented restrictions on individual freedom adopted in response to the Chinese coronavirus, coupled with left-wing riots that undermine the legitimacy of America\u2019s core institutions. It\u2019s becoming clear that these social changes are dystopian, not merely because they are harmful and coercive, but because they seek to replace the American way of life with a new social order rooted in utopian visions.<\/p>\n

In a January 2019\u00a0essay<\/a>\u00a0on the overuse of the word \u201cdystopia\u201d in American political discourse, Miami University of Ohio professor Ryan J. Barilleaux wrote that the defining features of an actual dystopia are \u201csocial regimentation, dehumanization, abuse of technology, state terror, a new class of rulers, propaganda instead of truth, inevitable totalitarianism, and the tragedy of the individual.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen combined, these features sketch the map of dystopia,\u201d wrote Barilleaux.<\/p>\n

\u201cDystopia is what results from the attempt to create utopia,\u201d he explained. \u201cConsider the society of\u00a0Brave New World<\/em>, which is horrible precisely to the extent that the World State was designed to be exactly as it is.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s warp-speed cultural transformation has brought about all of Barilleaux\u2019s hallmarks of a dystopia. The utopia today\u2019s bureaucrats and elitists are striving toward is a global, communistic police state. This police state is sold to ordinary people not as that, but as a safe, virus-free society. Who wouldn\u2019t want that?<\/p>\n

Its architects admit that they won\u2019t stop at a vaccine. \u201cWe will not, we cannot go back to the way things were,\u201d World Health Organization (WHO) director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus\u00a0said August 21<\/a>.<\/p>\n
