Dystopia 

By definition the total opposite of a utopia often caused by the complete collapse of an attempt at creating said utopia. The primary issue with utopia is that no two people can 100% agree on everything 100% of the time. The other and much bigger issue is that some tyrannical entity (individual or group) will take control and twist it to serve only them resulting in a societal hell and the suffering of others. Sir Thomas More wrote Utopia defining both Utopia and Dystopia (a term he had coined). George Orwell's novel 1984 and Aldous Huxley's Brave New World both show what happens in a dystopian society. The common traits are dehumanization, tyranny, ecological disasters, societal collapse, and the like.

After the Russians overthrew the Czar and the Aristocracy the Communists took over and promised a utopia only for it to become a dystopian nightmare where many millions suffered and died.

woke dystopia 

The period of time after the advent of social media platforms when tens of millions of people weighed in on events that they did not personally take part in, and yet loudly expressed outrage over despite having no personal stake in the incident, often simply as a tactic to destroy a percieved political or cultural enemy, by calling for the banishing of the ‘antagonist’ in their narrative from doing any public and private business.

Joe Biden suddenly found himself in the woke dystopia.
