Okay you libs and feds it's almost the new year. Get your predictions in for what's gonna happen next year. Political/electoral, public health, pop culture, Kissinger's heart, whatever the fuck you want. And no smearing each other, we'll all probably look like fools anyway.

Gimme your hot takes, your cold takes, and your future mis-takes. In a year we can all have a good laugh about how wrong we were. To prove I'm not a revisionist :LIB: I'll go over my 2021 predictions from December 2020 in the spoiler. ( https://hexbear.net/post/66982/ )

spoiler

"Kissinger lives another year" - Got it, unfortuantely. :inshallah: still a day to be wrong

"There will be exactly one more stimulus check" - yup

"Some intelligence state thing will happen but it’ll be forgotten in a week, not a month." - if this happened i forgot it

"There will still be COVID restrictions in the fall, but very few of them. Most - but not all - of the US will not need them." - nope, we definitely still need them

"Olympics actually happen, with heavy COVID restrictions in place. It results in super-spreading in the Global South." - right about the olympics, not sure about the super spreading but doesn't seem like it?

"Kyle Rittenhouse will be convicted of murder. George Floyd’s killers will get manslaughter." - missed 'em both. Rittenhouse walked, Chauvin bit it. Accomplices' trial was pushed to early 2022.

But this thread is about y'all posting your own takes, :bloomer: , :doomer: , or anything in between. I'll post mine in the comments later.

    • A Western European country bans Muslim names
    • "Tankie" becomes an official type of violent political extremism in western law enforcement reports.
    • COVID goes on and on and on. The typhoid Mary governments of the west will continue to hoard vaccines and refuse efficient quarantine measures which will keep the pandemic going.
    • Western government will express their support when the Ukraine constructs a monument to the WWII anti-communist freedom fighter Woychezlaw the Jew-slayer.
    • The death of the British queen is announced. The EU gets the blame. Jeremy Corbyn will be denounced for going and/or for not going to the funeral.
    • Joe Biden will fall asleep and/or soil himself on live television. Liberals will pretend it never happened.
    • Macron becomes president of France running on a platform of competent fascism. Anti-racist organising is banned for being antisemitic.
    • The Zionist occupation force in Palestine commits major atrocities while clearing land for new settlements. Western leaders will make passionate statements about the Zionist statelet's right to "self-defence"
    • Republicans win the US midterms. Democrats agree to blame progressives. AOC puts out a statement scolding people for voting green party.
    • The treat situation gets worse. This makes westoids even more insane and right-wing.
    • Kissinger survives, sitting on a throne of skulls.
