Just for those who have remarked that they live in Brazil. It's the movie Brazil that this meme is referring to.

Nah, I can see it.

  • 1984: they’re rewriting history / propagandizing
  • Idiocracy: the morons are in charge
  • Hunger Games: they’re pitting us against each other
  • Brave New World: they’re distracting us with entertainment

The others seem to fall pretty well into those categories.

They're also rewriting history in Idiocracy (It's actually a key story element at the end).
"They're pitting us against each other" is one of the most important aspects in 1984.
And "They're distracting us with entertainment" is literally at the core of Hunger Games.

Are you thinking of the film or the country?

The film has a large overbearing surveillance state / bureaucracy as the chief antagonist, it’s about the suppression of art and loss of human connection. Do you see it differently?
