A week ago I posted that the US getting a vaccine wouldnt stop the pandemic bc it's governmentally incapable of building the infrastructure to distribute it, and ppl in the coping stage of grief came out of the woodworks to get big mad at me for telling the truth. I demand the record show I was right all along, about everything

    I've been feeling very smug in a doomer sort of way for a while. At some point around five or six months ago I apparently unlocked my leftist precognition abilities and my prediction accuracy skyrocketed. It fucking sucks though because my predictions are always grim. People get big mad when you make grim predictions but then when they come true I'm just sitting there looking like a cross between :grillman: and :doomjak:

      did u ever play disco elysium? If you choose leftist dialogue options your brain will stop you after & ask you if you want to rebuild communism, which unlocks the ability to research over time in the palace of your mind a trait called [marxist] socioeconomics. Before you start researching it the flavor text is

      People think Communism was some crazy idea that had its comeuppance 40 years ago. A fever that shook the world, never to return again. They were right. Until he woke up today – a spiritual corpse responsive only to the call of Commodore Red, prostitutes, and Kras Mazov. For him, Communism is still a thing. He will single-handedly raise the Commune of '02 from the oceanic trench where it has been resting, covered in ghosts and seaweed! He is the Big Communism Builder. Come, witness his attempt to rebuild Communism in the year '51!

      then after you finish researching it & get its permanent affects the flavor text is

      0.000% of Communism has been built. Evil child-murdering billionaires still rule the world with a shit-eating grin. All he has managed to do is make himself sad. He is starting to suspect Kras Mazov fucked him over personally with his socio-economic theory. It has, however, made him into a very, very smart boy with something like a university degree in Truth. Instead of building Communism, he now builds a precise model of this grotesque, duplicitous world.

      I've never felt more attacked in my life. Like an all-out, no prisoners taken, multiple fronts, total war against me personally.
