every post apocalypse book, film or game is the same
>oh no no more big government, no more technology, look how brutal and savage everything is
where is a post apocalypse setting where people are way happier and peaceful and more sensitive without all this crap and the threat is that the old government coming back?
>nb4 fallout 2 and its clones
its a twist in that direction but still way off.
the world I've described is beyond the public's imagination because everyone is slave minded.
Nah man, Swiss Family Robinson world. Treehouse villages become popular, vegetation explodes the world over as unregulated nuke plants break down over the years and supercharge growth, untended black projects find or maybe even crawl their way to the surface. The sky's the limit really.
But yeah you're right though, typically it's always the same shit.
The black projects are what I worry about.
Multi-national corps with so much money; I mean, who the frick really knows what was going on at teh un-disclosed budgeted Goggle X.
Or Pfizer mutating shit.
The nation-states with all their resources.
I can't even imagine all the technology that was developed by tax payer monies and is locked up for "muh national security".
Oh, really? So, they are making some very nastry shit that won't benefit humanity, so we should lock it up, security.
Again, who the frick knows.
Aurora was probably a purposeful line item so teh corrupt CONgresscritters and executive branches could clean up with money laundering. It probably does not exist.
And why would it with space and ultimate navigation just 100 miles above head?
/rant off.
Its going to suck.

There isn't one, because in the absence of big government, you'd just have numerous small warlord tribes. History is extremely, explicitly clear on this. You should perhaps study a bit more about your species. You can watch it happen realtime in the US's liberal "autonomous zones" if you like.
I love Ashinano's works, but I assumed OP was asking for a supposed "realistic" story, not pure fantasy under the implication that a lack of government is an inherently good thing.
sasuga.
make a thread pointing out how people cant even imagine a boot free future or perceive the boot as a threat and here you are sperging about how you, as predicted, simply can't imagine a life without the security of your face boot.
Well, is the boot always bad? I think there are good boots. In fact boots may be necessary.
I am interesting to hear about some idyllic boot-free future, but is it possible?
Some boots have been removed and look what happens: homosexuals, trannies, 0 birthrates, thots, divorce.
I tell you:
>bring back the boot
tl;dr liberalisation is not in itself a positive or negative; it depends on the context and outcome

To be honest, have to look for feminist sci-fi, where the majority of survivors are women. The plot is usually 'men suck, and here's how Chad Thunderwiener destroyed Paradise by reintroducing PIV sex', but it does exist.
Colonial American history simultaneously had a small but vicious government.
Small in revenues and resources, but if they thought you were trying to screw them over, or worse - you were actually dumb enough to try to screw them over, DC was coming for you with a vengeance.
in all likelihood, the only successful colony and country with a population just over the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy, and Spain, over a country the size of all of Europe, with 3 times more economic resources than the entirety of Europe, was for half of it's history at around no more than 10% of GDP
well a key part of the genre is the post apocalypse part. you could create a new genre called post-utopia where everything got TOO good, reached a crisis point then burst, then after a time and for reasons everything reached a happy equilibrium.
or post-dystopia where everything got SO shitty that someone or something came along to bring everyone back up to a level of prosperity.
Speaking of new genres, how many Isekai exist of japs going to fantasy medieval Europe as opposed to a euro or merican going to medieval Japan? Only one I can think of is the Last Samurai and that's not even an isekai.
You need a story with action and drama for it to be entertaining. Authoritarianism is insidious, it slowly creeps in. That's the whole reason it spreads as it does; boiled frog principle. It makes for a boring story.
apocalypse isnt really just about the absence of government or tech, but the absence of the will to live, the divine spark of humanity has been snuffed out. apocalypse is the end of all things, ragnarok if you prefer, the twilight of the gods, where the final battle ends and there is nothing left. utopia describes something that is too good to be practical and dystopia describes something that is too bad to be practical. apocalypse can in effect lead to both if you want. but the basic npc brain format see it as
lose everything = bad
gain everything = good
>apocalypse
Apocalypse means reveal.
The israeli Question will be revealed to all mankind and the israelites will be forced to used their Samson Option to kill off all the goyim who know. That's the true end of the world.

Good answer, in a different direction. Can add both AI and the Foundation series (Hame and Earth).
The Time machine
The planted axiom in your post is that media is the result of the free expression of genuine and honest people and artists.
Whereas the reality is that media is just a carefully curated mechanism for controlling minds.
Name of the movie?
Doesn't the NCR in Fallout prove that those big government bureaucrats are awful?
The genre definition simply does not include cases where that apocalypse was decades ago and everything got better.
By your logic Star Trek would be post-apocalyptic. Earth had both a nuclear war and an eugenics war before the Federation came about etc.
The Postman is a good movie
i hope thats bait
>>oh no no more big government, no more technology, look how brutal and savage everything is
That's the point. Publishing is propaganda. Glowies infiltrated the book industry more than a century ago.
The Time Machine. Post-Apocalyptic and the Eloi are very happy.
>why do distraction media present an exciting experience rather than reality
There's a reason SimFarm exists.
