The Future We’re Sleepwalking Into
Dystopia – Its not hard for Humans to imagine. Yet sometimes the hardest truth is the simplest one: if we keep heading in the direction we’re going, we already know how it ends.
More weapons. More fear. More money pulled from schools, hospitals, climate action—and funnelled into missiles and walls.
We don’t need a war to be at war. Militarisation is already shaping how we live, what we’re allowed to say, and who gets left behind.
This video isn’t about predicting the future. It’s about recognising the one we’re drifting into—and deciding whether we want to turn around.
Dystopia: Signals We Can’t Ignore:
- NATO now targets 5% of GDP for defence spending by 2035.
- Climate tipping points are being crossed while fossil-fuelled militaries are exempt from emissions targets.
- Peaceful dissent is increasingly criminalised—from Palestine solidarity protests to whistleblowers.
- Global inequality is rising while weapons profits soar

My ‘Dystopia’ Reflections
“Dystopia isn’t my thing. I didn’t make this video to scare you. I made it because I’ve felt the weight of it too. The way ‘security’ becomes a smokescreen. The way language shifts. The way we start to accept the unacceptable—just to survive… But naming it is the first step to refusing it.”
