The issue is that, in the reality they don’t actually need to aid criminals.

Don’t forget about the part where RoboCop shoots a guy in the dick

I think it’s a pre-war Benito Mussolini propaganda poster

wow, I was assuming metropolis. it just screams dystopia to me, but I guess they had to get that aesthetic from somewhere

It was certainly a dystopia for many people. Such places have existed many times before. We shouldn’t take our freedom for granted.

There’s a distinction to be made between things that “look” dystopian, and actual dystopias. I think a lot of our current visual language of dystopia was taken from fascist/communist design choices which were in many respects independent of all the oppression they perpetrated. this example really drove that home for me, since the media it inspired came to mind before the reality.
- Elise ( @xilliah@beehaw.org ) 1•1 year ago
That’s an interesting line of thought. Can one see it truly as independent from their oppression? Perhaps this type of propaganda is innate to what it truly is, and any such oppressive system might be incapable of not using it.

Yes, it was a „election poster“ for the 1934 „elections“, and the building is the Palazzo Braschi, where the fascist party had their HQ.
The „SI“ all over the poster is Italian for yes, since the „choice“ you had in this „election“ was this: yes or no… (They were already in power at the time, so that was no real election.)

The guy screaming while ripping off his own head traumatized the fuck out of me when I was 5. These 80s movies were hardcore.

I’ve said before, but we need to stop making dystopian films/tv because it just gives them ideas.
Hahaha, I don’t think the films are the problem.
Greed is the problem, profits before people will always make things worse for the working class.

My favorite part of RoboCop is when he shoots the rapist in the dick.
Nice, lots of parody vids also, hahahaha
