What a pointless argument. At what point of societal ill do you go from “normal” or whatever to “dystopia”? You don’t. Dystopia is a relative term; in a sense everything is dystopian so long as you can imagine a better world; it’s the negation of utopia. Arguing “how close we are to dystopia” is missing the point; we should be arguing about what makes our society better versus worse, not getting hung up on classification labels.
