In the past 2 months, @pluralistic 's predictions (not endorsement)—née dystopian fiction—about three big events have come true:
- the killing of a US healthcare CEO by someone who was burned by the system (in Radicalized)
- huge fires in the LA area causing people to take cover and be wary of air quality (in The Lost Cause)
- the projection of protest against a tech richguy on the Tesla dealership/building in Berlin (UK parliament and politicians in Pirate Cinema)
Are there more?
@sean @pluralistic When I read The Lost Cause last year, I considered the political vision having 8 years of a female US president with a strong social/green agenda and MAGA being kind of a an old guy fringe group extremely opimistic.
Unfortunately only the dystopian predictions seem to come true.
@sesenion @sean @pluralistic yeah I’m glad I read it last year because the vision of MAGA as a fringe group rather than being embraced by nihilistic, radicalized young men as we saw in November is, uh, yeah.
