    Anyone who would act like that couldn’t even hack it in a developing country today let alone going back in time. Remember, a dystopia is just a third-world country but with white people and that’s different because, uh, reasons.

      That does kinda depend on the nature of the dystopia to be fair. Like, the ones that are just “a stratified society where the poor live in the dirt”, or “an authoritarian regime”, sure, but some dystopian fiction relies on tech that doesnt even exist to run.
