Futurology: A Lot Could Still Happen

 



Commenter #1: This is facts, The US especially will not be having another revolution in any of our lifetimes, and anyone who believes otherwise is completely braindead. cough communists and anarchists cough


Commenter #2: Agree.

Anyone who would be willing and able to organize an American revolution quickly realizes that it’s easier to get a visa than a guillotine.

I know that just leaving isn’t a viable solution for most people, but even if a revolution was possible: Are you really willing to die so you don’t have to leave your home?


Me: A lot could still happen. There are some positives that almost no one could have predicted, like Obama and the BLM protests (not the incidents that inspired them). Things I’m personally waiting for: organizing activists through Neuralink and the next social media platform, new subcultures and celebrities/influencers that push things in the right direction, and movies/tv shows that show the type of future we could have if things started to go right as opposed to started to go wrong (utopias instead of dystopias).
