Here's the sentence where I found it:
人類種に残されてる領土で田舎って…そりゃもう世捨人じゃねぇのか

That aside, what does it mean when I find a line of dots next to a compound or a whole sentence? Like instead of the corresponding furigana there are just black dots.

Weblio gives よすてびと as the reading

and goo

I usually check Weblio and goo dictionaries when I find a word that rikaikun and the like don't have

Dots as furigana show emphasis, like italics in English.
