I'm curious. What would a "communist" utopia look like?

Bottom right pic hits hard. I plan to die in some fashion long before that. Fuck planning or saving for retirement if it doesn't matter.

In other news, Denmark raised their retirement age to 70 recently, and our conservatives in the US have been squawking about the same. LOL.

What the fuck is the point of this shit existence for anyone who can't become rich as a celebrity or wall street psycho? 90% of us are just here so the wealthy can have yachts, Lamborghinis, and mansions.

This place sucks.

It’s so odd how much hate pop figures get, from people whose apartments are filled with anime posters and figures

In general, I think it comes down to the fact that they all just look low effort. They’re formulaic, which to someone who puts out passionate art, it’s kind of just insulting.

And as much as I hate to say it, that’s all preference. I don’t personally think they’re “wrong” or “not art”. Just not very well done or original.

I kinda hate this pic.

There are worse fates than living in the suburbs, lol, what? If the experience seems bland remember it's not an infrastructure 'problem' but a demographics one. And bland beats ghetto -> warzone.
You can easily opt out of consumerism, they haven't made it illegal yet! Of course, if your life has mostly just consisted of 'going from little kids' toys to bigger boi toys', that's vacuous and depressing but, again, it's a personal decision.
Car-centric cities and infrastructure is a result of greed and bribes. An argument can be made that capitalist societies more easily push people into antisocial selfishness though, of course.
Retirement homes are, again, a 'skill issue' that's very prevalent in certain well known communities and almost nonexistent everywhere else. Raise and love your kids and be family oriented and one of them will take care of you (as it happened to my grandma, and it'll happen to my mom and MIL, and I assume, God willing, to my wife after my passing). Again, I don't know how much of this behaviour can be ascribed to capitalism.
