Your prediction for 2021

mapuc · 12-30-20, 05:37 PM

Do you have a crystal ball where you can see what we can expect of terrible things or perhaps happy things next year ?

Do you think we will get rid of this Corona or will it become a part of our life, like the flu ?

Do you think Biden will retire and give the steering wheel to his VP ?
Or
Do you think Trump will do something to stay in power ?

War!? Here is my hope there will not be any new war.

Here is something which is most certain.

In 2021 some famous person will leave us.
There will be earthquake, Political scandal somewhere in the world.

Trump will be out of office but nothing can shut him up.

Biden will begin to get heat from the radical lefties in his party to throw open the borders and make everything free. He (being controlled by the Dem Party) will stall and resist and the Dems will devolve into a tragic/farcical comedy. As usual.

There will be trouble in the South China Sea.

Germans will regret being dependent on Mother Russia for fuel.

Clint Eastwood... well, he is pretty old.

The Wuhan virus will continue to be a pandemic but by the end of the year, maybe, hopefully, begin to decline.

China and the US will have great new trade deals! All good again.

The media, not being allowed to criticize Biden, will continue to report everything Trumpo does and says, so they will have something to do and someone to rake over the coals, so I guess the first prediction goes to hell.

In the words of David Engels (from "Renovatio Europae"): "Mass immigration, decline in values, gender mainstreaming, radicalization, parallel societies, party cartels, social polarization and mountains of debt. Not to forget the creeping dissolution of national states and the expropriation of savers that has been going on for a decade."

I hope for some occasional cosmetic nicenesses, from time to time, at best, but the general trends are based on inner and deep rooting dynamics that know only the direction formed by the greater scheme of what afterwards will get called "history". Its impossible to be optimistic anymore. To have the power and class and greatness to stick to one's principles and that of the occidental culture while the world we knew around us collapses, hoping to be recalled by other, later generations who will not live before we who are alive today have long since passed, must suffice. More is not in it for us anymore. Rome is on fire. We live in the time of the Western cultures Götterdämmerung. No use to run anymore, there is no refuge for us anymore.
Composure is the only thing that makes what lies ahead of us bearable. Composure, and the unbreakable determination to not give an inch on what is right and separates it from the wrong. We will get overhwhelmed, we cannot win this fight anymore, the battle is lost, the war as well.

A part of me feels that the Covid pandemic is just a swan's song describing what more and more of us have somehow felt deep inside of us already before: that what we call the normality of the pre-pandemic time was no longer sustainable anyway, and will not come back, like a house that burnt down will not still stand there when the smoke screen has been blown away by the wind. I very strongly feel so. And honestly said, it can feel like a relief. Because the deformations in the culture and civilization we have created in the past years and decades in the West, to me more and more felt unbearable and untolerable, rotten and poisonous like a cancer that had already overwhelmed the body.

Will be interesting to see if Turkey starts sabre rattling over the EastMed pipeline again once it gets started.

I think we may see the heat turned up against China for this COVID debacle. I dont know what, but it should be fun to watch.

The truth will finally be revealed to the world that it was I Rockstar the magnificent who won the 2020 Whac-a-Squirrel competition and all conspirators that plotted against me will be forced to homage to my greatness.

Trump will give up politics and become a late night TV host where he can continue to ridicule everyone, or maybe become a stand up comedian and ridicule everyone.

Kim Jong-un will die and be resurrected again.

On a serious note:

Sir Frank Williams with pass away.

Sean C · 12-31-20, 01:15 AM

My prediction: more of the same ... unfortunately.

But we'll make it through. Well - most of us, anyway.

re Marcus

Corona is a part of the general virus threat that is and has been present on earth since a hundred thousand years; every virus changes, mutates and can become a threat. I take that vaccination will become part of life, but as usual not all will want to be vaccinated (result ~ what you call Darwin's selection).

Biden, difficult to say. I take it he is reasonable enough to pass the steering wheel to someone else if he feels he is not up to the job. He is not so much older than Trump b.t.w.. If people were able to stand this blithering nonsense for four years, why shouldn't they be happy with Biden.
Ah yes, because he is a ~~democrat~~ COMMUNIST. Of course he is not, but of course the right wing will explode 4 years in a row.

Trump is already trying to stay in power, but i guess at least some reasonable american people and the constitution will not let him, unless he is able to stage a coup. I do not think he is. Maybe he will prolong his personal war by going back to those TV shows that made him "famous". His son becoming president is a far worse scenario.

War? Where? There have been wars all the time since 1945, just not in Europe or the US. A major war? Maybe some minor clashes with China. If things go on in Hongkong like they recently did, or if here are further clashes between China and Taiwan, it depends on if anyone feels the urge to intervene.

A sure prediction: All this and more can, and will be, blamed on the EU.

I read the article, but the only thing I see is that everyone will blame 2021 on Trump
