Dark Futures
Sweden
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 5 ก.ค. 2024
Welcome! This channel explores dark visions of the future. The focus of the channel is dystopian fiction, like George Orwell's 1984 and Ridley Scott's Blade Runner, but also most real threats against humanity and other topics. I believe that these dark visions can teach us about our world and tell us what course mankind should take.

I like it. It has a desolate, but simple feeling.
Wait what about the last text,what headcanon dis you use that it would last 80 more years?
I just made it up. We know that Oceania will last at least until 2050.
@@DarkFutures-101 ok
I find it strange that im romanian and we call tvs televizor💀,just for the info the prural is televizoare
Hell yeah had my internet down for a few things this the first thing i see
Can you do one for Seksmisja? It's a Polish comedy movie that takes place in a dystopian world.
I've heard of it but never seen it unfortunately.
This language is like it was invented by Dr. Seuss or something.
Man gatacca is really a good movie
Agreed! It's a pity it has received so little attention.
3:17 - 3:24 I’m guessing this is for brave new world
Yep. An amazing novel if you ask me.
What photo did you use for Elysium poster? And the poster for “we keep the metropolis running!”
It's a still from the movie, I believe.
@@DarkFutures-101what about for taffy Lewis temple of sin
The Metropolis picture is a movie still.
@@000DELETED00 To be honest I don't quite remember.
Could you do something about Aldous Huxley's Brave New World?
I guess I could but I know much more about 1984 than Brave New World. It's an interesting idea and I'll give it some serious thought.

That's crimethink, comrade!
I really like text style. It gives you an idea of how their letters looks like, yet you can also understand what they mean. Great job!
Thank you!
Can you please write what each poster said? It's a bit hard to read 😅
It's not THAT hard, is it? ;) Anyways, "translations" are available in the description now.
@@DarkFutures-101 What does the Eastasian logo say?
@@AnimeArchaeologist It says "death worship" or "death cult".

Excellent work!!! 👍🏼👍🏼 This is the superstate I’ve always been most curious about I love how its not the thought police, but rather ‘soul readers’, and how the focus is not always explicitly about the enemy, but rather the ambiguos (but also highly specific) ‘one path’. I think this perfectly captures how ‘Death worship’ would be propagated. Eastasian propaganda instead takes a more ‘personal’ and religious tone, rather than the secular, zero-sum game employed by Eurasia and Oceania. There is this undeniable esoteric and religious aspect to it (notably some corrupted and politicised form of theravada buddhism), that has a false mask of benevolence, when in reality, it is anything but; a totalitarian in cahoots with its enemies, a leader who guides and betrays. One thing I’ve also wondered is how Eastasian propaganda would portray or involve south east asia (according to the book). I’ve personally headcanoned that how the Death Cult managed to seize eastern and southeastern territories came from how the war dragged on. In our world, the Japanese empire was on borrowed time both because of the ROC’s resistance on the mainland, and its ambitions over south east asia, stretching them thin. We know Japan soon conquered the unguarded territories left, as european colonisers were distracted by the advance of Nazi germany. But because the war likely dragged on much longer, on account of the formation of Oceania and Eurasia and their ambitions, help didn’t come to defeat the Japanese forces. Instead, Japan continued to hold its conquered territories, but was very much a spent force after the next decade of ‘confused fighting’ (and so was the ROC). So, with the decimated forces of both these ‘major players’ in Eastern and South east asia, resistance groups started to gain on them and fill the power vacuum. For once, both enemy and ally were united and radicalised towards this ‘obliteration of the self’, in some way shape or form. Remnants from the japanese home islands, and the chinese mainland started to dig their claws into this power vacuum, and were soon followed by like-minded comrades in south east asia. Given the material and military advantages of the chinese and japanese over these former colonies, all were forced to tow the line, if they wished to survive. And so, the superstate of Eastasia was born, the former selves of the coloniser and the colonised having been obliterated.
Thank you! It means a lot. I personally find the potential corruption of Buddhism the most interesting aspect of Death Worship. Concepts like "empty your mind" and "become one with everything" certainly get a new meaning when used by totalitarians. I believe there also are many aspects of Confucianism that could be abused by totalitarians. However, I only have superficial knowledge of this philosophy so I dare not elaborate. South East Asia is an interesting question mark. I would assume that it's a "disputed territory" and that the population is enslaved by East Asia and Oceania in turns. Thanks for an interesting read!
Knowing how Japan and China compared to Germany and Russia, I have a bad feeling eastAsia was quadruple the hell Oceania was
So chinese who adopted japanese values and culture
@@Ritual-w8r To a degree.
From what i remembered it sayd in the book that they idolize mao zedong,not hirohito
Do you refer to the picture of the Wise Father? It's not a picture of Hirohito, actually.
@@DarkFutures-101 yeah,it isnt hirohito but my point stands,tbh it should have been mao
@@antoniothegunexpert5955 I was thinking that they would want a figurehead not connected to the old regime before Death Wish.
So much thoughtcrime in this… reported to the Oceania thoughtpol
@vixinitydbz Good job, comrade!
You need to put some propaganda which can be described as "extermination of the self". Something like Asian rituals

死亡崇拝だけ漢字なの違和感が凄い… 私が1984のポスターを作るのに参考にしている言語 中国共産党が主導権を握った東アジア統一なら中国語(簡体もしくは繁体) 中国国民党が主導権を握った東アジア統一なら中国語(繁体) 日本が主導権を握った東アジア統一なら日本語(新字体が旧字体(大日本帝国への回帰を目指しているなら旧字体)) ベトナムが主導権を握った東アジア統一ならベトナム語(漢越語もしくはチュ•クオック•グー)など 毛沢東が主導権を握った東アジア統一なら英語 個人的には中国共産党指導部は国共内戦で使われた核で壊滅すると思うから中国語(繁体)が使用される可能性が高いと思う
What font did these posters use?
It's called Hirosh.

Why is this eastasian propaganda appearing to me, an honorable Oceanic citizen?

I'll report it then!😂

Nice video, comrade. You have actually made some pretty beautiful posters. Keep up the good work.
Thank you, comrade!
How are propaganda posters for 1984 are made in videos
Do you mean how the posters are made?
Yes
@@000DELETED00 In most cases I take existing photos and crop them, make them monochrome and grainy, add symbols, flags, and text etc. In some cases I modify them more thoroughly. It's not very advanced to be honest, but it takes much time to make a video.
Is that Hirohito on first photo
He's a military leader from the Chinese civil war. I have unfortunately forgotten his name.
''That'll show the Eurasians'' 🤓 Inglish '"Socialists'' have no idea what running an actually good country is like 💀 BB knows no human being wants to live under their fascist state so they just erase humanity Eurasia is 10X Better than anything Oceania can produce + they are real socialists
Well. I think that fact we don't know anything is what makes it scarier as hell
Great video. I think the only problem is that some of these are too obvious, like the one at 1:56. Even considering the Party's "doublethink" doctrine, these posters would still be too over the top to be propaganda ones. Other than that, fantastic work!
Thank you! :)
What was happened with Vietnam in those times? Are Vietnamese revolt the Eastasia?
The novel doesn't specifically mention Vietnam but since it technically isn't located in East Asia in the real world I'd say it's a "disputed territory".
Looking forward to posters from Eastasia. Perhaps you could look at some North Korean propaganda posters as inspiration, cause it is considered the closest thing we have to an actual 1984-type government in real life.
@@GreenFoxLuama I'm indeed using a few North Korean posters, although they are modified.
All of these pic came from a old Soviet pic.
Me 262 lol
I need this to be more soviet style, this was too western styled.
Oceania is not my friend Oceania's not even our friend He'll never be our friend
На листовках используется английский язык, да ещё и в перемешку с кириллицей, что делает эти листовки буквально нечитаемыми. "ЄДSТ ДSIД" и "Необол" буквально режут мне глаз своим несоответствием. Либо всё на русском делать, либо на английском и своим убогим нечитаемым шрифтом, который похож на те, что делает нейросеть.
Good but please do more of Eurasian posters and make them look more Soviet like. These look very similar to Oceania's
I'll see what I can do.
@@DarkFutures-101 Also, I would make the stars black, the background red, and the fist yellow. I have no reason to see the Soviet Union copying the western color scheme. Also, in the movie, the text said ''EURASIA'' instead of ''NEOBOL'' otherwise I like the movie accuracy with the fist and the star.
@@BasedGamer2415 I made the flags similar to convey that they represent similar systems. A matter of taste, I guess.
@@DarkFutures-101 I see. I noticed that.
Ok but are you saying the totalitarianism will end in 8 decades because of that last line
Yeah, sadism is a key concept. There's a movie on this topic, made in '70 years by an italian writer and director, Pasolini. The movie title is "Salò, or the 120 Days of Sodom" (Salò is the name of a town in Northern Italy where Mussolini led his puppet government under German's rule). The movie is really disturbing but it want to show how people who have power can be vile, with shameful and abusive behavior to detriment of their victims. (So, don't watch that movie it's really hard to watch without suffer), but it's right to know about it)
I've heard about the movie but I've decided not too watch it. Interesting topic, though!
For some moments, I've though that was "the day". Which one? The end one. So, if i were there... one way ticket for the Minluv!
You make thery good posters, i wait too long to see the posters in other countries like Ostazia or Eurazia
Thank you! I've made a video about Eurasian propaganda posters: th-cam.com/video/cfMPI9fTBqc/w-d-xo.html. One about East Asian ones is on its way.
When will you do East Asia propaganda posters
I think it might be difficult to find suitable photos for such a video.
wifioxysleep grisombaron❤
Huh?
that looks graet, but for people who's main language is written on Cyrilic it's a nightmare to try and understand it
I've added "translations" in the description of the video.
Sorry, can you please release the standard english versions of the text? The text is barely readable for people for people whose primary language is Cyrillic
Sorry, I didn't realize that when I made the video. I'll add the texts in the description of the video.
