Where I am, everywhere is inaccessible private land, except for a tiny sliver of roads between them.
There are a few places which allow you to temporarily exist there for the purpose of commercial exchanges.
But most of my world is simply forbidden to access. There are endless forests and fields here, all littered with "no tresspass" signs.
It is all owned and I can't go there.

This planet is 0% magical

This planet is 100% magical, we've just let capitalists divide it up into tiny preserves for their own pleasure.

I am a leftist online poster

My specialty is being toxic and reminding you how bad everything is

See this thing other people are enjoying, its bad, fuck you

Do you see those things over there, fuck them too

If you don't agree you're a fascist and they fucking suck too

also fuck AI or something

Also, making things up to exaggerate how bad things are. Even in the US, there's more public libraries than McDonald's. You have parks, museums, community centers, etc. Even if you live in a town that has somehow privatized literally everything, that doesn't reflect on "the planet".
