@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.
@VooDooMedic @Tfmonkey i set the alarm for may 2024.
Just to be clear I'm only talking about the US. Canada, the UK, and Australia are all in a race to see which can become a fascist shithole the fastest. If I had a button to final solution them, I'd press it thrice. Revolting nations.
@ButtWorldsMan @VooDooMedic @Tfmonkey The othet thing is too withjn the West all it will take is an example. One domino. Like the US Revolution certain other places will get the same idea except the cultural context will be different for obvious reasons. Likely to be some place in Europe first. They will do media blackouts, but I don't think that'll magically stop the inevitable.
@VooDooMedic @Tfmonkey Told you.
@ButtWorldsMan @VooDooMedic @Tfmonkey Huh. That's interesting.
@ButtWorldsMan @Tfmonkey fingers crossed Australia grows a pair but I doubt it since we have huge vaccine injuries and death numbers
