Is it just me, or is every possible future a bad one.

[2021Murder]

The only thing keeping me from going Ted Kaczynski is my family. I'm pretty fed up with this world, the people who run it and the people living in it. My outlook of the future is bleak:

• America going full Marxist with the re-writing or outright deletion of history
• Must wear masks at all times forever.
• Paper currency completely gone. If you commit wrongspeak or wrongthink they turn off your chip and can no longer buy or sell.
• Mandatory homosexuality and sex changes.
• White genocide

BUT AT LEAST AS A WHITE PERSON YOU STILL HAVE FREEDOM, LIKE THE FREEDOM TO UMMMMM....

Say what you will about how authoritarian china is, people know where they stand. plus compare how often the government has inconvinced you compared to a coon or kike the last decade. i'd take not getting fired from my job for talking shit about a pro-athlete than living in a world where freedom means the freedom to agree with degeneracy or suffer.

You really think if Shane Gillis joked about the weird shit people eat in china, while in china as a chinesse citizen he would be fired from China's SNL?

fuck no. the last decade has led to the west being just as free as china, but worse in technology or infrastructure or taxes, etc;

imagine the chinese version of kiwifarms, their owner (mr.moon lets call him) isn't living in some different country because he can't get a job back home, he has a job working in some tech company right there in china. his social credit is absurdly high because he only mocks degenerates and lolcows, he has a well paying job, and a loving family. he wasn't circumcised and has a loving family because the chinese know how bad single moms are. Mr.Moon has 2 delightful children and a nice wife. his Vordrak gets executed by the state a decade ago for y'know. Now would Null be executed if his website let the rumor leak about wuhan, yes of course. but just like how null doesn't have his own thread, News and Happenings is explicitly forbidden. but the good news is he can sit back and laugh at those crazy hong knog rioters and those in-land Chinese.

plus there are no retards in china that go "people only hate the CCP because the bible says we can't rape but they can" or "mah 6 million" or "i dont know why mr.epstein being a CCP member should be a big deal, who cares we all have our own relegation all equally valid.:" Everyone knows exactly who is in power and how to avoid their wrath.

There is one good future.

The world is engulfed in nuclear fire and sent back to the high middle ages, and the US breaks up into a rich patchwork of feudal states, unsullied by modern technology.View attachment 1451989

If you've not read a Canticle for Leibowitz you very accurately summarised the plot. It's a good book.

 

[tehpope]

Everytime someone has predicted "the end of history," history carries on. The Qing, Ming, Song dynasties lost the mandate of heaven and that will be no different in communist China, China will collapse, it's just a fact of history. They were saying in 1914 that it was the end of history (seriously, read what people were saying at the time, it's eerily similar to today), and then the great war happened, and 20 years later WW2 happened.

And the ultra-totalitarian 1984 type regimes cannot exist for genetic reasons. At some point the population will decay enough that they can't maintain that highly complex totalitarian system. And contrary to popular belief evolution happens very fast, especially in humans because humans can select for specific traits in a population, and when the government is stopping specific people from having kids then evolution happens real quick. And we're seeing evolution today, the IQ of the European is dropping dramatically because only dumb people have kids, and the IQ of the African is rising because their societies are in a constant struggle. The future of the world might be Afrocentric.

What I'm trying to say is, we need war, war is a good thing and we need as many people to die as possible, preferably in the trenches fighting against the chinese menace.

I agree with you. But with Trump in the white house, that's probably not happening. He's very anti-war and is more for fighting groups with tariffs and market deals. It would take a huge event to convince Trump to go to war with China. I mean, that's the most likely country to go to war with. Their own stupidity and hubris is taking care of them atm.

• Paper currency completely gone. If you commit wrongspeak or wrongthink they turn off your chip and can no longer buy or sell.
• Mandatory homosexuality and sex changes.
• White genocide

• The US isn't going full marxist. The left is courting the woke regressive left, who want a socialist wonderland, for votes only. Once in power, its going to be Obama 2.0, at least this time. And in time, they'll throw them under the bus. They will get too much for the left to handle and threaten their dominance. The left, and the right for the most part, are beholden to their corporate masters. The current batch of boomers in power aren't going to bite the hand that feeds. The left might try this in the future, when The Squad is in senior positions of power. But as soon as Socialism gets close to happening, the corporations will freak out and tell the left to abandon this shit. It'll still exist, but it'll never be implemented. The corporations exist to make money and they'll cease to exist under Socialism. And if the left keeps on trucking full steam a head, the corporations will just back other politicians. Soros might want this, but the corporations have more power than Soros. This isn't even getting into the fact that these marxists make up like 2-3% of the population. Most of the population doesn't want socialism and are already sick of the woke shit.
• The left is pro masks now. But as soon as they realize they can't track people with masks on, they'll abandon this shit. Probably after the election to focus on rioting.
• Paper is still a thing. Its the best way to trade goods and services without being tracked. We're getting to the point you speak of, but atm its only for far-right people. Once they try to take out a regular person, its not going to be good.
• People are more conservative than you give them credit. They're for LGBT rights but in the context of the nuclear family and traditionalism. People are already rejecting the loose bathroom rules and what not. Give it 10 years and once a bunch of these kids who went on hormone blockers and whatnot are adults, you'll probably see a lot of high profile suicides. Or these kids will turn into walking train wrecks who are additcted to drugs and/or alcohol. Or these kids will wise up, reject what they grew up on, and be paraded around TV and Youtube as horror stories. Like how Druggies were paraded around as anti-drug campaigns. This isn't even Muslim countries where they force gays to get their dicks chopped off and become females. Call me when that happens in America.
• White will probably become a minority in the next century. But its not that bad. I seriously doubt the whites will ever be the size of black people today. We'll still be one of the biggest races. We'll be duking it out with Spanish over population size. Swapping the top position every once in a while. Births as a whole is declining in the west. Only Mormons keep having large families in the west. The growing groups are Muslims, Indians, and Chinese. And again, the chinese are taking care of themselves via their hubris and stupidity.

Also, white people are not a race. Its a group of Europeans and light skinned south americans. This group only emerged after Civil rights.

Seriously dude, calm down. Get a grip and keep it.

I just wish the 21st century had been the "Japanese century" like people in the 1980s predicted.

Japan is fucking based and if any culture deserves to rule the world it's them.

The USA deserved to rule the world once but we squandered it, we apologized too much for ourselves, Japan doesn't apologize for itself.

I dream of a world where the Rising Sun shines over every corner of the globe.

 

[[Redacted]-san]

I honestly hope the future will be a meteor crashing to Earth, mainly because humans seriously suck most of the time and always end up fighting each other over petty crap after petty crap. And I'm naturally pessimistic about the world around me, I sometimes try to be optimistic at times and sometimes I give up on being optimistic.

I once wished that the Japanese government takes over the American government sometimes.

 

[Bum Driller]

OP, your other "dystopian" scenario you yourself dubbed "freedom without purpose", right? Well, if you have freedom, what the fuck is stopping you from creating a purpose to your own life as you see fit? If you're a spineless piece of shit that can only find purpose in life if it's handed to you by "our culture" or some control-freak faggot that wants everyone else too to larp as some kind of "good old days where men were men and women were in the kitchen", then fuck off. You have the freedom, go use it as you see fit; nothing is stopping you from engaging in bible-study retardation and wanking over the "golden past" of western civilization, but let the rest of us also wank over whatever it's that we want to wank over on.

Theres signs of this being a possibility but their faint. The current anime boom, the resurgence of the Japanese Games Industry, and the fact that the Japanese comic industry is curbstomping the American one worse than Finland curbstomped the Soviets (Granted this a lot of this is due to the western comic industry’s incompetence). Again these may turn out to be the precursors of something big or ultimately not amount to much.

Just ride the tiger, bro.

 

[DeadFish]

The 20th century was one of struggle but also one of humanity's ascent to ever greater heights.

The 21st century going be one of hardship but of either descent back into banging rocks primitivist territory or a transhumanist cyber punk nightmare as a result of genetically engineered horror and fuck ups.

Either way things will not improve until things completely collapse.

 

[Unassuming Local Guy]

Now imagine that on every population centre of 50,000 people or more.

Jesus, I knew the UK was small but not "50,000 is a lot" small. In order to nuke every town in the US with a population of at least 50k, they'd have to drop nearly 800 nukes. That's massively diminishing returns and wouldn't be at all worth it.

America is very, very large. Only like 10% of the land is developed, if you use a fairly charitable definition of "developed".

>A bunch of genuinely horrific events
>Wearing masks
How are those two things compairable?

Edit: All of the misanthropy in the thread is also completely overrated. Accept your lots in life and start struggling to carve out a small place in the future for your families, so that one day (even if that day is more than 100 years away; even if it is more than 200 years) your descendents will get a chance to prosper.

That's the interesting thing is that the 21st century may wind up being the Japanese century after all, as the rest of the world ruins itself with woke culture, Japan may be a shining beacon to something better that will wind up only growing in popularity, you can already see this happening in small scale ways like with comics and video games as you said.

I think there are roughly 3 core things that make Japanese culture what it is and are polar opposites to what is causing all the trouble today.

The first is the belief that one should work hard and strive for excellence, not lazily lay around looking for a handout or accepting mediocrity as "good enough" in order to save a few bucks.

The second is to never apologize for yourself and to take pride in your culture and history, Japan refuses to self flagellate over its actions in WW2 like the west does over colonialism, slavery and the holocaust, not because those things and what Japan did in WW2 aren't bad, but because there's more to the west and Japan than the darkest moments.

And the third is to have a healthy respect for the past and tradition while still keeping an eye on the future, Japan, for as much as they're associated with cutting edge technology, is still a very traditionalist culture at the same time, they see the past as worthy of respect, not an enemy to be destroyed, meanwhile look at how they're destroying any and all statues honoring people from the past in the US.

American culture already had its fair share of problems in the 2000s when I first really got into Japanese culture, because I could tell that there was just something they were doing right that the US was doing wrong and sure enough the test of time has already proven me right.

The biggest problem with Japanese culture is that they are so enamored with tradition that they are hyper-conformist to the point of dysfunction at times. if America is too individualistic and anti-tradition, then Japan isn't enough.

But the demise of the CCP as a global superpower could lead to an interesting future for both Japan and America.

Honestly, I'd think it'd be interesting if we somehow did get the weird American-Japanese superpower cliche of 1980's fiction in real life, as dumb and autistic as that may sound.

Especially if it combined the best things about American culture and pop culture with the best elements of Japanese culture and pop culture. Of course, there is a key difference between the two, and that goes for both America and Japan.

Their strength has wrapped all the way around and fucked them in the ass as a weakness. Work ethic has become "work yourself to an early, miserable grave", as one example.

Japan is not perfect of course, it's not a perfect world, but even warts and all they're preferable to what we have going on in the US at the moment, the march of the morons burning down random shit and tearing down any statue.

And dumb and autistic? An American-Japanese superpower cliche of 1980's fiction is exactly what I'd like to see!

An America that gets its groove back teaming up with an ascendant Japan to push the shit in of Chinese Commies and others Commies worldwide would be lovely.

 

[Sopressata]

I think the world needs to take a massive ass shredding shit every few years and that is what’s going on now. There have been times in history when I’m sure the people living then were like hmmm guess this whole earth thing is gonna be over soon. Then it’s not. 100 years later, all new people who didn’t living during that time and they have their own the world is over moment. It will turn around eventually and Ryan Seacrest will be showing us a montage after the ball drops in a year or two of all the crap we have endured as of late.

 

[tehpope]

Japan is on its way out. They still control some culture but their birth rates are in the fucking toilet. Even more so than the rest of the west. They've never allowed mass immigration and their society is extremely xenophobic. Unless the Government can incentivize civilians having kids en mass, the Japan of today will cease to exist in 100-200 years. Either by by allowing mass immigration that changes the country into something else. Or the natives shrink to a small number and another country takes it over.

 

[UntimelyDhelmise]

If the China 3 Gorges Dam/nuclear plant boogaloo happens then it's a bad future for everybody no matter what. All the politics and civil unrest going on right now will look fucking quaint in comparison.

 

[LeChampion1992]

@Ginger Piglet I have another therapy for what would happen to the world in the future. As mass migration and racial tensions push angry masses to a boiling point you will see mass breakdown within most of the societies. I'm saying you would see mass shootings really ramp up in the US to a level never seen. Imagine beslan style attacks twice a day in American cities. Either the US is devoured by crime and corruption to such a level that outside maybe the Acela corridor America turns into the wild west again. Things can breakdown quickly you could have something akin to a Balkans crisis but in the west in the future.
The future will be sectarian conflict and civil wars that will eventually destroy the world.

What will occur in a situation is there will be a reactionary culture that takes hold. One also has to look at things other than GDP like societal trust.
Japan is a nation with strong confidence and high societal trust despite being one of the sick nations in Asia. There is also a high purchasing power the average Japanese person has in comparison to many of their neighbors. The wests overeliance on GDP to measure the health of a nation is why were in the situation we're in.
