Well, it depends on your perspective, as you so rightly put it. You see something deplorable in each of those squares where others might see it differently.
We are absolutely living in a cyberpunk dystopia. This particular meme is poorly put together to represent that because it chooses to focus on judgement of how others live their lives or choose to enjoy said life rather than focus on the real and tangible injustices we face. It is elitist and “holier than thou”.

Why do you see it this way?
Lack of dense affordable housing, inefficient transportation, empty consumerism, and grossly negligent yet expensive elder care are all examples of real and tangible injustices that Americans face.
Other real tangible injustices also exist, of course. And some of those other injustices may be more severe (homelessness, medical debt, declining life expectancy, unresponsive political systems). But the depicted injustices are real and present. They accordingly deserve to be criticized

Fair enough. I suppose I understand this meme to be a broader commentary about cyberpunk dystopia than specifically ridiculing someone’s life style choices.
but from what I’ve heard, suburbs in america became popular in the 50s because a lot of white people wanted to live in white-only places. (Will have to cite a source later)
They were actively redlined neighborhoods, often in sundown towns, and loans were given that excluded black people on the basis of their race (see also: the GI bill that excluded black veterans). Not to mention the black neighborhoods and economic centers within cities that were bulldozed and paved over with highways, especially highway interchanges, in order to facilitate this ‘white flight’ from the cities.
You can look at a turd from a different angle and it will look like a brownie.
A comfortable home or segregationist suburban dystopia?
Family vacations or inefficient car based infrastructure fucking up the planet?
Fun hobbies or mindless consumerism being sold to you as a hobby?
Living to a ripe old age or being relegated to for profit nursing homes to count your dying days?
Which seems more apparent?

This meme is good example of how leftists are absolutely awful at branding
It doesn’t matter how many brownie angles you look at it from its still a fuckin’ turd
Segregationist. lol
Segregation in terms of wealth (these days)

Imagine being so ignorant you’ve never heard of “white flight.”
