Idea for a game: we all offer our prophecies for 2017. Good, bad, weird, incidental, cynical, amusing. After all, it's still February and already things are incredibly fucked up all over the world. And not the usual fucked up either, this is what you get when you combine climate change, the threat of global economic collapse, the rise of Islam and Social Justice, the internet, the death of a major star from the Star Wars franchise, Malcolm Turnbull and some incredibly weird shit going on in China and Russia.

Each new prophecy will be edited into this post, and if/when it comes true, it'll be crossed out, we'll all go out and buy some sauce, and then sit around on chat or something while we all get shitfaced together.


1. Some sort of minor military skirmish with the Chinese in the South China Sea's disputed territories, most likely with Indonesia and/or Malaysia. @glass_houses

2. By the end of 2017 there will be something very much like a Cold War going on between the entire world against China or Russia. @glass_houses

3. There will be full scale riots in Germany when one too many rape and murder is committed by rapefugees, and the German population finally says, "Fuck this don't-be-racist shit!" Military intervention may well be needed, and worldwide hand wringing will be incessant for at least a decade. @glass_houses

4. Some retard branch of murikun SJWs gets it into their tiny brains to march on one of those incredibly economically depressed small towns who voted for Trump, to show them the error of their racist ways. There will be a single short scream, a merciless twanging of many banjos, and the SJWs will never be seen again. @glass_houses

5. Bubba will completely disappear from Rain Florence's various social media accounts. His absence will never be explained or even acknowledged. @glass_houses

6. Ashley Isaacs will still be alive when November rolls around. @glass_houses

7. Tammy Slaton will not be alive past June. @glass_houses

8. Hayley Mandel will pretend to commit suicide at least once. @glass_houses

9. An Australian politician will survive an assassin attempt. Any bystanders stating that they heard the assailant scream, "Allah Akbar!" will crucified by the worldwide media and condemned by the police for instigating hate crimes against Muslims. @glass_houses

10. Gonna Make America White Again. @ICametoLurk

11. Increasing tension between North Korea and just about every other country in the world, building up to full blown war in the next two or three years. @Syaoran Li

12. Barb probably won't make it this year @Zach_Kun

13. Duterte will still be slaughtering people by the end of the year. @WireSponge

14. Null will unexpectedly remove the hiatus on U.S. politics in Articles & Happenings @WireSponge

15. A big event will happen that will lead to a big chimpout in the right/alt right @muina

16. A terrorist/major riot will happen in a major us city @muina

17. There will be at least ten school shootings @FemalePresident

18. Feminist denounces the term "black hole" as racist and misogynistic. @Positron

19. Betty White or Bob Barker will die. If Betty White dies, the entire world will lose its shit. If Bob Barker dies, Tumblrinas and Twitter tards are going to ignore his blatant sexual misconduct to bitch about how his "Please spay or neuter your pets" schtick is actually right wing fascism and he's actually an animal abuser. @Bitch I Might Be

20. American economic recession sparked by overvalued stocks and a housing market bubble. @feedtheoctopus

21. Leanna will cuck DSP @Ravelord

22. Phil will go to prison @hood LOLCOW

23. Lizard people will wage a war against Jews and the Illuminati @hood LOLCOW (this is sort of already true; the war between the Lizard people and the Illuminati has been going on for years with no end in sight. I personally blame global warming, the chia craze and Malcolm Turnbull for that. All in all, I'll keep this on the list, but still have a small nip of rum in acknowledgement)

24. Nintendo Switch is a borderline flop. @Elwood P. Dowd

25. Ditto the XBox Scorpio/PS4 Pro, though I don't think we'll see either for Holidays 2017. @Elwood P. Dowd

26. XBox "wins" Generation 8.5/9/whatever you want to call this iteration of consoles (though even their sales will be disappointing. @Elwood P. Dowd

27. The Black Bloc will continue to shit up protests. The Congress and other parties will toss about the idea of tarring them with the "Domestic Terrorist" brush. Meanwhile the "protests" will get ever more violent and attract more Gender Studies and Social Justice students and they will kick about forming their own political party. This will come to naught. @Maiden-TieJuan

28. Eventually, people will get sick of them shiting up every event they attend, and a group will form specifically to stop the Black Bloc from rioting/enciting people to riot, an Anti Black Bloc if you will. After that, there will be an eventual protest where the two groups clash spectacularly, with quite a bit of violence. Black Bloc will ultimately lose. @Maiden-TieJuan

North Korea is going to push its luck too far with their saber-rattling and nuke-building. Between Trump being a hawkish egotist and the fact Japan is re-arming in all but name because of North Korea, to say nothing of their failed economy and the fact that even China and Russia are sick of Kim Jong Un's antics, the DPRK doesn't have much more gas left in the tank. If North Korea goes to war with anyone, whether it be South Korea, Japan, the United States, NATO, or any combination thereof, it will end badly for them. North Korea will go down in a fight, but the issue is how many people will they take down with them?

I believe the Korean War will probably resume full hostilities within the next two or three years. Kim Jong Un is really that exceptional and Trump is too much of an egotist to let North Korean hostilities go unpunished. And if the DPRK directly attacks South Korea or Japan, he should not let it go unpunished.

Duterte will still be slaughtering people by the end of the year. I mean, he never stopped as mayor, why stop now?

Null will unexpectedly remove the hiatus on U.S. politics in Articles & Happenings after suddenly remembering that he was supposed to lift it eventually.

Chris will shit himself and do nothing.

Just to remind you that this is a clairvoyant thread, not an "Already happened" or "Dead cert" or "It's inevitable" thread. We all know Chris will shit himself, @The Fool is hurtling towards liver failure, autism will be named the 119th element, I'll end up on a halal thread, and Ghost is already doomed, as is the left, the right, the middle, and many cultural icons.

Economic recession sparked by overvalued stocks and a housing market bubble.

Though the caveat is that, like always, you can find a million and one different predictions from economists that contradict each other. Namely because despite the illusion of pure "fact" economics as a field is often a gigantic, random, guessing game based on what people would act like if they were rational. Which they aren't. Result being a number of different readings for any given trend. tl;dr take anything from these people with a grain of salt, they're usually just as confused as you are.

https://www.forbes.com/sites/jeremyhill/2015/03/12/are-u-s-stocks-overvalued/#190cd1cc416a

Of course "gloom and doom" economic predictions are sort of a given in any year. That being said we have a number of genuine and serious problems that are indeed brewing and the mainstream financial press is starting to catch on to that. Reports of things like record stock market rises aren't so much indicative of a healthy economy as one that is currently drunk as fuck. Drunk drivers tend to crash.

And of course there's the fact that since 2007 our economy has basically been held aloft by quantitative easing and artificially low interest rates. Both were always a short term fix. I doubt the current government's "deregulate everything on Earth" strategy is going to help either. Won't have an immediate impact of course, but getting rid of Dodd-Frank and other financial regulations is a catastrophically stupid idea, as what happened in 2007-8 can testify. In the short term you're going to see profits for wall street and other businesses skyrocket, just like before 2007. But over a long enough time frame it's going to result in an extremely unstable situation that's going to collapse in on itself. Again. Wall street is not made up of intelligent, rational, investors like they pretend. It's made up of people who want money. And people who are making a lot of money have little incentive to give a shit about the long term consequences.

If one wants a more vague/less meaningful indicator that we're due for what's often cynically referred to as an "adjustment" by less honest commentators it's that recessions tend to happen on average every 10 years or so.

Nintendo Switch is a borderline flop. Doesn't tank as hard as the Wii-U did, but doesn't approach X Box One numbers in the US, though it might reach them in a few markets, and will certainly beat them in Japan. Third party devs drift away from the platform, especially in the West.

Ditto the XBox Scorpio/PS4 Pro, though I don't think we'll see either for Holidays 2017. Both sell okay, but both are overpriced based upon what people typically expect from consoles. I'm also thinking XBox "wins" Generation 8.5/9/whatever you want to call this iteration of consoles (though even their sales will be disappointing.).

My predictions (or wishlist)

The Black Bloc will continue to shit up protests, turning them into the white boy wasted version of the Ferguson Riots. The Congress and other parties will toss about the idea of tarring them with the "Domestic Terrorist" brush for ages. Meanwhile the "protests" will get ever more violent and the Black Bloc will attract more Gender Studies and Social Justice students from surrounding areas, and they will kick about the idea of forming their own political party. This will come to naught, because they are merely college students and don't really have the necessary drive or clout to do so.

Eventually, people will get sick of them shiting up every event they attend, and a group will form specifically to stop the Black Bloc from rioting/enciting people to riot, an Anti Black Bloc if you will. After that, there will be an eventual protest where the two groups clash spectacularly, with quite a bit of violence. The counter group will draw in biker gangs, and the bikers will annihilate the college student filled Black Bloc, causing them to go into hiding. This will be their downfall, as the entire idea behind their group is "if it bless, it leads. So make the fascists bleed!!!!!11!!+" and since they no longer have the upper hand, they will fade into impotent fury and anger.

Years later, the only thing a Black Bloc flag will be used for is a table cloth if the good one is stained.
