@Tfmonkey @VooDooMedic Listening to MC.

In response to your doomer accelerationist prediction, Voodoo, that we'll have lockdowns, drafts, and a CBDC all before 2025, my thorough and comprehensive response is the following: Nah.

What you doomer people consistently fail to understand, and what makes you consistently wrong, is an inability to understand what can be practically done. Societies have inertia. Shit doesn't happen instantly. CBDC won't happen next year.

Also...

@Tfmonkey @VooDooMedic A draft is such a ridiculous extreme that's politically untenable. It can't be done in the US in the current environment. Same with lockdowns. Very untenable. 2020 will not happen again. It simply won't. People lived through it, they suffered through it, they were scared and caught off guard by a black swan event. WON'T. HAPPEN. AGAIN. Especially not while it's in recent memory.

>b-b-b-but they'll try/are trying to do something

Do or do not. There is no try.

@Tfmonkey @VooDooMedic long story short: nah.

Thanks for giving me a timetable, though. I just need to set an alarm for early 2024, whatever that means, and rub it in when I'm inevitably right and the accelerationist betting on ridiculous extremes is inevitably wrong.

Wonder what US can do when Saudi Arabia and UAE will go under BRICS in January 2024.

I do not think that this can save them. They would need to do it in this year.
