230 This was 1981. The best scene in the movie. Probably more poignant now than it was then. (youtu.be) posted 3 years ago by CNKarateKommando 3 years ago by CNKarateKommando +231 / -1 29 comments share 29 comments share save hide report block hide replies
Did you watch the last season of westworld?
All those "city of the future" scenes were shot in Singapore.
place looks beautiful right? very clean, interesting buildings
Now take a deep dive into how that society is ran, their rules and laws and how their entire system works.
some crazy shit going on there...
selling gum is illegal. no, not guns, GUM... as in chewing gum.
it's illegal to not flush the toilet.
you will be arrested if you enter the country with cigarettes.
connecting to a non-sanctioned "unsecure" wi-fi is considered "hacking".
fireworks are illegal, doesn't matter when or what for, the only people permitted to have or shoot fireworks are state licensed pyrotechnicians.
if you vouch for someone and that person ends up being a piece of shit... it's against the law.
you aren't even allowed to walk around naked in your own home.
now, this is just ordinary shit, shit we do all the time and would be scratching our heads as to why we no longer couldn't.
however take a look into what they do to you if you get caught.
for example... singing in public earns you 3 months in jail.
connecting to someone's laptop or wifi earns you 3 years in prison or 10k in fines
if you get caught selling chewing gum to someone, 2 years in jail or $100,000 fine.
spitting in public will cost you a grand.
a joint and a handgun can get you the death penalty
it's a fucking dystopian nightmare,
