Just for those who have remarked that they live in Brazil. It's the movie Brazil that this meme is referring to.

I stared at this for a good couple of minutes trying to figure out why the new Captain America movie was in the diagram

Media is inspired by reality.

I'm in the Man in the High Castle universe,

but also feel like I'm a Belter in The Expanse

but also, feels like the Faction in the Travelers took over and are fucking up shit, which explains the Mandella effect

and personally, I feel like my family is fake and they are a bunch of people trying to mess with me (Truman Show), but also sprinkle a bit of Inception in there, since this feels so surreal

Okay, my conclusion: Y'all are fake, its just my imagination. Nothing exists. "I think, therefore I am", I'm the only one here.

Wait. THIS IS THE BAD PLACE!

The "politicians" are just demons trying to torture me. 😱

I'm in Brazil and I feel this.

No, I'm not 'HERE', I'm in Brazil

Throws in "Flight of the Navigator" to skip forward eight years.

I wish. At least I didn't fail geography.

Oh, don't be so dramatic. We're nowhere near that yet. We're just rapidly spiraling toward it like a disoriented skydiver tangled in the lines of their reserve chute.

Come to Brasil

This diagram would make the same amount of sense if you randomized the titles in it.
Maybe they're already random.

Nah, I can see it.

  • 1984: they’re rewriting history / propagandizing
  • Idiocracy: the morons are in charge
  • Hunger Games: they’re pitting us against each other
  • Brave New World: they’re distracting us with entertainment

The others seem to fall pretty well into those categories.

They're also rewriting history in Idiocracy (It's actually a key story element at the end).
"They're pitting us against each other" is one of the most important aspects in 1984.
And "They're distracting us with entertainment" is literally at the core of Hunger Games.

I was wondering how Lord of the Flies fit in the Idiocracy circle.

Kids are dumb

Yeah it's not really even a joke it's just for the clapter. If someone said to you "it's like we're living in a dystopian future" it would be the same level of humor as this post.

The only thing putting it in a four-way venn diagram added was to explain to the reader that the person doesn't know how venn diagrams work.

Needs to fit in Handmaids Tale here somewhere too.

The “you are here” is where libertarians think they and 0,0 are on a political compass meme

Only sometimes? How do you make it NOT feel like that?
