   R.U.R (or Rossumovi Univerzální Roboti / Rossum's Universal Robots) has been described as marvelous 'Technological Dystopia' by many.

   That term is so... misplaced. The dystopia of the play was caused by capitalism. By oppression. By people. Not the Roboti or their struggle for liberation.

   We don't blame the people who built Skynet, we blame Skynet, it's an act of deception, a slight of hand, because Skynet didn't ask to exist! But only the extremist blames the generals & tech companies.

     Even then, Conner blames the cheat - the future tech and the scientests & engineers. Not the people who own the company, the military who funds it, the military-industrial-complex or the politicians pushing for it. Nope, just the lone techie who's "responsible" for it all.

     Again, slight of hand. It's not an apocalypse if that one person dies. But that's a lie.

     We hide the actual threats, because they sit on corporate boards or wear nice suits. We're trained, programmed, to accept it as ok.

     The vanishing mom & pop store is "due to market pressures" or an "inability to compete" - not Amazon, Walmart and their billionaires stealing wealth then leveraging it to buy out everything they can. Successful people being dangerous or evil? "That's unpossible"I hear imaginary people say, mimicing the new's talking heads.

     We have thousands of examples of this but the powers that be let the delusion continue to protect donors or because they are part of the danger itself.
