>Mainstream music industry will have a resurgence of a group of popular artists who can bring a lot of revenue in the industry and grab people's attention authentically for a little while before kneeling in completely (or mostly) to a growing indie music industry that tries to 'replace' the corrupted, out of model previous music industry.
>Classic American pop music will come back in the mainstream and indie music industry as a mainstay forever, and by that I mean any of the genres and musics invented in the 20s,30s,40s,50s,60s,70s,80s,90s, much like how other cultures choose to continually embrace their classical/traditional music thousands of years later
>Speaking of that, I also think people will try to revive Disco from it's grave, as well as some other ded and buried genres like New Jack swing and even Rock and Metal.
>The early half of the decade will be "2010s but weirder" and then the latter half will be "this is unrecognizable" from the previous feeling of the past two decades
>People will get more skeptical and weary of the LGBT, some people will become more virulent against feminist and minority issues, other people will have a growing concern over the political and social tension and start feeling hopeless and also angry, and angry at the people obsessed with politics. More politics will be pushed down people's throats in msm and then there will be this growing middle group that criticizes both sides and hates them equally.
>Technology will start having needless 'features' added to it and becoming more shite. I expect at a point in 2025-2035 for the vast majority of electronics (TV, Computers, Phones) that any added technology will not do anything to legitimately improve your hardware except under the fake guise of 'optimization'. At a point, 2010-2019 technology will be better quality and better 'optimized' than 202X-203X technology

>>495831I said it because I'm Eastern European myself I've noticed a great influx of foreigners in the past 1-2 years for both tourism and work. And my country is pretty obscure and for the most part considered a "shit hole" in the general western view.
There are tons of older Brits who like to buy property in the country side here and retire. Young entrepreneurs have also started popping up developing businesses because of the low taxes. I tried out Tinder for the first time this year and was surprised how many foreigners there were who were settled in the country, not just passing through. Tourism as well has doubled and I pretty much only hear foreign tongues when I have a night out in town.
I have some American friends and they all have the same outline for their future - they want to work long enough to have the money to retire and they're all looking at Eastern Europe as a possible refuge (Canada and Australia too)
I think a lot of "westerners" are jaded and tired of the cultural climate they live in and want to escape from it. Those who realize that Eastern Europe isn't some Soviet backwater anymore understand that that's their chance. For the most part "liberal wokeness" doesn't exist here, capitalism is in its early stages where it's helping society instead of crippling it, the prices and taxes are low, the population is predominantly homogeneous so there's little racial tension, the relationship between men and women is different and for the most part nobody gets in your business or cares about what you do.

I've also seen an increase in people who believe women shouldn't vote - which is less alarming because it seems like that idea has always had support…but still. In my opinion these sentiments are growing and normally I wouldn't worry too much about it except that it's my own generation who seem most serious about it.

In 2020 the main theme of public concern will be climate change and people will begin to seriously consider lifestyle changes in order to elongate our time on this planet as a apsecies. People will eat less or no meat, particularly from factory farming. As is the case with cow milk, all dairy products and animal products will become unprofitable and more plant alternatives will be introduced and some foods may fall out of favor completely. People will eat mostly plants, and “victory gardens” will resume popularity in Anerica. It will be the new hip thing to grow food. Children and adultswill get pots and soil for Christmas gifts. Cable Television will stopped being watched entirely, and commercials and ads will be replaced with sponsors for what shows are available online. People will turn off lights at night when not necessary, and in smaller cities perhaps black out hours will occur where public lighting is turned off as was the case in World War II. Ideally, airplanes will be a less frequent method of travel, particularly leisure/vacation travel, and in cities where it is available public transportation and ride sharing will become popular and more advanced, it will be uncool and maybe in more dire places (California, China, etc) it may be criminal to ride alone. Elon musk will continue to make wild advances throughout the 2020s. And space travel and interstellar cultivation of civilization will seem more of a reality.

I really can't wait until fag apple and the other companies start making a smart watch that's actually smart (as in capable of independently) until then we won't see anything changing.
Fashion wise nothing will change but it will get remixed and maybe some new trends here and there will sprout (and that's being optimistic).

I think the U.S. had good intentions when intervention in the Middle East began (long before 9/11 actually) but they're not going anywhere.
The minute the U.S. left, Russia would try to slip in and take influence in their absence. That's exactly what happened in Syria earlier this year. It's always been about Russia (and to a lesser extent oil.) That's why the U.S. can't just yank all of its troops out of the Middle East, despite it being really unpopular among the American public.
There's being against Russia and being in favor of pulling troops out of the Middle East. Pick one.

>>509240>>509261Personally I think due to brexit the UK and the US will move much closer then ever. There may be some initial friction with getting a “deal,” and I’m sure there will be a sensationalization by the media, spinning the US using its position (but I doubt it will use its position to the extent the EU has). But overall, the UK by exiting the EU has realigned itself from an increasingly independent, adolescent EU back towards the US which it had been centered with for the majority of the 20th century.
People are acting like suddenly the UKs worth to the US is gone which is categorically untrue. The UK and the rest of FVEY are still the closest allies of the US. And the synergy between the five is undeniable. The only real factor being proximity but that has advantages as well in a strategic sense and is largely mitigated in the modern environment. Furthermore, with the UK no longer being intimately tied to the EU project success or failure, they can make more objective decisions on what’s best for the UK. Which imo will lead them towards FVEY.
My longterm prediction is that this will signal a new rotation towards increasing codependence of FVEY. I think in the next 20 years developments starting economically and militarily first, but working towards other goals, will begin to align to form a loose but ever tightening fvey bloc. Brexit was the first painful step towards that.

- i definitely agree with the resurgence of disco-type music, especially with city-pop becoming more and more popular. even mainstream western music like harry styles are embracing more of a "disco" feel to the music. i also see a resurgence for country music as well, especially with the rise of lil nas x and orville peck, potentially leading to country music becoming more and more associated with progressive ideals as opposed to conservative.
- definitely agree on more americans moving to europe and other countries. every one my age has expressed a sentiment of "get me out of here" for at least have a decade now.
>>495900 seems to be accurate from the US side
- more anti-chinese sentiment and possibly international conflict
- as the current generation gets older and boomers die out, less of a focus on traditionalism, consumerism, etc. thankfully this also means more computer and technological literacy, more online self awareness (hopefully), and less of a need for telephone customer service as opposed to online.
- this will also affect influencers, specifically instathots, as more and more people shift towards paying for experiences rather than paying for skinny tea when some thot on instagram is clearly trying to sell a product to them
- job culture will shift to being less outwardly evil capitalist, more friendly to nomad lifestyles and working from home. less people will focus on getting a 9-5 as work as a whole slows in our societies, and will focus more on freelance work or figuring things out as they go.
- more restrictions on advertising through social media, specifically towards children. more restrictions and control over platforms like YouTube and Facebook.
- more research into gender and sex, trans identity, sexuality, etc. as science researches these topics more (and has more of a data pool to look at with trans people doing HRT). a resurgence of information or an enlightenment worldwide surrounding these scientific advancements and findings.
- more of a focus on platonic relationships and romanticizing loving yourself/friends rather than strictly romantic relationships
- hopefully the fall of disney and massive monopolies, as well as the fall of zuck
- the US finally starts looking to decent methods of public transportation (i'm looking at you, midwest) and hopefully gets a high speed rail
- obesity rate will drop due to a resurgence in more environmentalist ideals (minimalism, clean eating, zero waste) which relates to better diet and just eating real food

>>495717oh man I really hope you all are right about more people unplugging.
I think there will be polarization of people's health levels, in a way. A group who is noticeably doing good, the other in denial and in a bad state. Ive already noticed people online and that i know, becoming aware of how unhealthy various things are after all: social media, advertising(it sucks how it's spreading its tentacles but in the long term this is good, it could push people to abstain from materialism by getting fed up), online enabling mental illness/bad coping, heck even transitioning*. I do see these being discussed (the last one more in private). However, people can cling to anything so I think there will be a divide between those who come to their senses and the rest. This would be interesting (and sad) since the one side will get healthier, while the other gets bitter and higher rate of suicides& general low success. Maybe the health/happiness of the first will help bring people over to the light. or theyll just continue to hate them for being normies lol idk, we kind of do have this already.
*Among troons i know, in private they are surprisingly willing to admit their fears, criticisms of the movement, the problems of gender roles, question of regret. More than I thought are surprisingly open (but not enough of the way yet lol). However that is mostly ftms and I think there may be a gender divide if this grows. A lot of ftms detransitioning, and probably (hopefully) enough mtfs since men have more influence/taken seriously, so it can be a smaller amount. To lead to a backlash against the trend. I think pornsickness can last til death and men have the power to get what they want(access to womens spaces etc) so I dont see those mtfs ever going back, which may be a problem. Their life quality would be decent as mtfs, while its still not much for ftms. Yet if ftms spend too much time online away from reality or are too far gone (surgery etc) they'll choose not to hear the music either.
I think something has to boil over, and it will, for open critique of trans stuff in the community to be allowed. Right now the people who have doubts keep it silent out of fear, but they exist and are growing methinks. It will probably be the 1000th instance of a transwoman doing some disgusting shit, that goes viral enough, which will unleash the flood of dialogue lol thats my prediction
could get very ugly though if theres a divide between ftms mtfs opinions. they already barely associate

Bible thumpers probably wouldn't agree with my way of life but I would never in my right mind try to invade their spaces and rub it in their face and then ask them to accept me. I don't get it, why? Just why? There's enough space on this planet for all of us, we don't need to all accept each other. It worked before the internet age and there was less hatred and conflict in every conversation and popular media topic because people weren't constantly exposed to groups they hate and don't get along with.

My brain's too tired to work properly,but I came up with quite a lot:
>People will grow more sympathetic to radical feminism, because they can't handle troons anymore.>A major climate catastrophe (like BOE) happens this decade or the next.>The quality of life will steeply decline for some people, after Brexit.>Lots of people become subtly more intolerant of minority groups, perhaps because of the increase if far-right views/backlash against woke culture.>Covid-19 is here to stay. Countries that can't manage around it will ruin their economies. Face masks will become mandatory (and perhaps permanent) for a long time.>A fashion counterculture will emerge, which isn't copying off of goth or punk or emo etc. Its community will be more rebellious than gen z's current one.>A few types of food will become rarer and more expensive, like chocolate.>Influx of climate refugees.>Inevitably, people vulnerable to Covid-19 will be left behind by society.Everything is getting so oversaturated. There is too much of everything, everywhere, and it's really easy to get a hold of. I feel so disconnected to media. It's like they're trying to appeal to an idea(l), rather than actual people.

Africa will be the next front for the US Military
This isn't any sort of speculation but rather a matter of facts, With ISIS in Iraq and Syria losing all territory, Trump has proposed pulling most troops out except a few to prevent ISIS from gaining control of oilfields. Afghanistan, as long as the Taliban could keep their word on keeping AQ out, Pakistan can also take over the US's role, It seems like the US will eventually pull out. As the Middle East gets new leaders like Erdogan and MBS, anti-US jihadism seems to die down to favor nationalism. Iran mainly stands in the US's interests however, due to Covid and a relatively weak military it is very difficult to make gains on a Sunni dominated Middle East.
However, Africa is different. It is getting more attention as we hear about Sudan, Nigeria and Mali. A lot of Africans don't enjoy the same oil wealth as the Arabs. African Regions since 2017 have been increasingly plagued by Jihadism, I'm sure people here remember the kidnapped Nigerian girls by Boko Haram well things have actually gotten worse since then.
This may be the opportunity the US seeks to gain against China. To use its power as security guarantor to build alliances there. The fear also being Jihadists or the Chinese controlling

for my original guesses:
actor who gets me too'd brutally would be someone like franco, leto, carrey, any number of men who have at least one sketchy incident in their past. it will catch up to them and they won't be able to hide it with the increase of social media. someone will out them and the domino effect will damage their reputations permanently. if armie proved anything thus far being a wealthy white male and deflecting responsibility for being an
abusive ass won't get you anywhere, and prior to armands dm leak when all this started he didn't have half the accusations / rumors under his belt some of these guys do. fully expect if this does happen, whoever is accused will try and pull a full howard hughes after addressing the allegations and slink into hiding until he dies, or kills himself soon after from shame or wanting to make himself a martyr with the belief that people won't disrespect him because he's dead, can see that 100%
presumption for gay celebs would be brie larson, who already seemed to have implied bisexuality, jackman, bcooper, travolta, doubting tom cruise will though
i only presume the kpop craze might die down because people notoriously get bored these days and move onto other things quickly. japanese music is increasingly being uploaded to streaming platforms against japans original resistance to digital so another east asian genre could replace kpop if people become too bored
olivias rise will be interesting, personally found drivers license sucky as a longtime swiftie despite everyone proclaiming "it sounds like a taylor song", slowly but surely i think tay is realizing her age, but idk if she'll settle down considering her dating history. as an addendum to the coming out segment maybe she will come out as bi and start openly dating women like fans have been suggesting for years. at the end of it all she will have plenty of money to retire though

>>790915Well I'm from neighboring Pakistan but my country has gone through similar circumstances as Afghanistan, see Afghanistan is a multi-ethnic nation, but throughout the past 300 years, the majority population(45%) of Afghanistan the Pashtuns have dominated the country, this was present during the The Islamic Emirate, The Kingdom, The Republic, The Socialist Republic and the Taliban Era
Pashtuns were the ones in change, now the Current US backed regime is sort of minority coalition of Afghan Tajiks, Gujjars, Uzbeks, and the Taliban despite being a Islamist organization is still overwhelmingly made up of rural Sunni Pashtuns, now one ethnic group is Afghanistan that should be talked about are the Hazaras, the Hazaras are the descendants of Mongolian and Turkic soldiers who settled in central Afghanistan, they would also adopt Shia Islam and settle in the region for over 700 years
now because they are Shia Muslims, have foreign origin and have very different appearance then other Afghans, they've been targeted for ethnic slaughters and ethnic cleansing
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Hazara_people#Persecution_and_marginalizationOnce the US leaves, civil war is inevitable. The Taliban is far from defeated and will begin offensives again, with Pakistani support
This time, however, the Tajiks are far better armed (inheriting the entire American supplied arsenal) and Iran is far more practiced in foreign interventions and has laid defensive groundworks in Afghanistan . It should be noted that Iran’s “horse in the race” won’t "primarily" be Tajiks (who are culturally and linguistically Persian, but Sunni) but rather the Shi’a Hazara. Iran has been the guiding force in Hazara politics since the 80s, and today 15-20,000 Hazara soldiers are deployed to Syria to fight Assad’s enemies.
The next Afghan Civil War will look somewhat similar to the Syrian Civil War(though not as global). A well armed minority government backed by Iran’s Revolutionary Guards (who will supply arms, money, and foreign fighters) will go up against a larger ethnic group backed by a Sunni country, but who will not be as well armed. Neither force is particularly professional, and ethnic cleansing can be expected. Just except a lot of ethnic genocide

People who immigrate legally have to deal with all the crap that comes with being an immigrant but with no benefits, while they watch refugees get handouts. As far as refugees go I rarely see women or kids out and about, it's mostly men.
I get left alone because my parents are Muslim and I grew up here. Most secular Muslims - Turks, Albanians, Moroccan &c - are nice and my parents used to work with them a long time ago so they know me, but there's lots of radicalized men now and the newer waves of refugees is so scary.

There are also some parts where you can't go out at night and somehow we have a lot of knife attacks recently and if you are poor, you have to live in those areas.
Also, you can't say anything against it. I don't mind immigrants, everyone should be free to choose the country he wants to live in and I met some that would do anything to be able to go home, but I mind those huge waves of young muslim men. Most of them came here and faked their age and their female family members never arrived later, even though they are allowed to get them into the country. I'm just not allowed to voice my concern, because I look like Hitler's idea of a German woman, so, I'm racist because of the way I look.

>>889008I'll say it for you anon, and all women who get harassed because they're white Protestants. But you should still speak up when you can because it gives other women courage to speak up too. Many secretly agree with you but are too scared to say anything or they will loose their woke friends if they protest too much.
Daily reminder that the reason Islam is this bad in so many MENA countries is bc they gave it too much freedom. Abrahamic religions are literally designed to spread and wipe out entire cultures, that is why so many countries now larp as Arabs and speak Arabic, they have nothing else left. It is also why the Bible belt exists, these religions thrive in countries where people have no cultural identity due to colonialism and shit like that. Communism sucked but at least it kept religious retards in check, Americans ruined everything for all of us.

>>888996I have talked about this before but this is how Muslim men are taught to see specifically non-Muslim women, Its not a cultural attitude its literally part of the religion, Muhammad had 2 "wives" a Jewish woman and an Egyptian Christian respectively, their marriage to Muhammad is portrayed as holy and righteous, these women are considered lucky to be with the Holy Prophet and Muhmmad's army raided and looted the Quraysh tribe and took their "war botty"(which also includes women) this is why Historically Muslims have raided non-Muslims lands(both Europe and Africa) for the purpose of capturing Kafirs and using them as Slaves(either making them soldiers, domestic servants, laborers, or sexual slaves)
>>889000Lets not pretend for a moment that as bad as things are getting in the west, that its even 1/1000th the shit that happens in Muslim countries, I assure you Islamic scrotes are a million times worse then any type of men in the world, I would literally prefer to live in Mexico or Brazil rather then any Muslim nation

>>889017I don't think its an equal comparison, Name one sect of Christianity that outright states the primordial language of Heaven its self is Arabic, name one sect that states you have to only pray in one specific language only
you have to literally dress by the standards of an Arab In Islam, you have to believe that Arabs at the time of Muhammad after being converted were the greatest group of Humans who ever lived and will ever will live
Think of it like this, when a people group are converted to Christianity they are fundamentally changed but the religion its self is changed and evolves, it takes on aspects of the native peoples cultures, an example of this would be how in most Bible Translations people will use the Name of their former highest pre-Christian God for well God, which connects them to their pre-Christian culture, in Islam everyone calls God Allah, its not even a name, its just Arabic for "The God" but Muslims around the world will use Allah cause Islam is built on Arab supremacy
see Islam is not only a religion, but also the building block of a system of law (Sharia law). There is no Christian, Jewish, Buddhist equivalent to that. cause there's just not enough to create an entire system of law

So I told him how that feels for us, what we worry about and why and he understood and changed his behaviour. It's just a long way and sometimes I feel like we are moving backwards.

For example, if you want to work at a catholic hospital and you aren't catholic, they don't have to employ you and there are many hospitals or other social workplaces with religious background, so you don't have much choice in some cities. No wonder we accepted Islam as a new part of our country so fast.

I think the nature of social discourse is going back to early 2000s.
Claiming victim over random things is going to gain less and less traction. People are tired of hearing complaining it feels like. The only people I see really still doing it are 21+ year olds who grew up on it but they're getting like a small fraction of attention they use to get. These cancel attempts are coming and going. Simu, Chappelle, this with a general it doesn't matter level of response.
The social media activist avenue will become less of a clout chase. And the people who get angry over random things to get attention and following will go find a real hobby. At the same time, I think external political issues will flare.
I feel like a bonding against other countries will be big in a few years, and the navel gazing identity politics internally will begin to fade into the more straight forward right/wrong discussions it was in the 2000s. Obama and Trump, with lgbtq backdrop, were perfect staging for identity politics to take off to another level. The enemies propped up were identities within America. It's faded a lot with a more boring president like Biden along with general exhaustion towards identity politics it feels like. What's being staged now is external enemies.

>>1099810>>1099754I predict the opposite. The reason meat is disparaged by government healthy eating propaganda is due to its cost, not due to its ill effects on the health and the environment. Much of the legitimacy of western welfare states is predicated on the fact that people on welfare can live dignified lives, but people on welfare cannot afford to feed their kids large quantities of meat. So they fudge the food pyramids/myplates to diminish the amount of recommended meats, and promote veges and carbs which are dirt cheap. As meat gets more expensive, we'll find that the government will turn to simply recommending less meat. As a mentally ill povertyanon, who lives frugally week from week on welfare, I follow frugal shopping advice obsessively, and both supermarkets and the government are saying "consider purchasing less meat and finding substitutes to save on your shopping bill". 1kg of rump steak is $$20, 10kg of potatoes is $15, 1kg of a frozen vege mix is $3.50, it's not hard to see what they'll recommend when push comes to shove.

This a media based prediction, so this is something already exists, a gender war on ASoIF forums, tumblr and fanfic sites, between mostly men and women over the characters of Robert Baratheon vs Rhaegar targaryen, men view Robert as this based alpah chad who was a great pal and did nothing wrong, while women view him as an abusive scumbag who fetishized lyanna and abused cersei and joffrey(in fact they blame joffery's behavior solely on Robert) while women view Rhaegar as a tragic doomed hero and his relationship was a holy ordained and love at first type situation, male fans accuse Rhaegar supporters of being shallow for only liking Rhaegar cause he's hot and female fans accuse Robert Supports of being misogynists, and my prediction is that this gender war is gonna get expended with normies, when Robert's rebellion eventually gets its spin off HBO prequel

victim tho. She dated a 15 year old when she was an adult. Leeched off her family and abused her. Then years later she made up rape claims thinking the ex would never respond. Then the voicemail where she berated Beckie's dying mom for not showing her enough appreciation for whatever help she thought she provided. Laughed at one of her (pretty reasonable hayders) when she found out they'd had a heart attack. The Twinkie thing where she left the dog at home shivering in pain and went out to eat in a restaurant that was right nextdoor to a 24 hr vet. Destiny's cat that conveniently went missing around the same time amber was desperate to adopt a different cat but couldn't get one because their lease only allowed a certain number of pets. There's alot that people who are new to her don't catch up on. They think she's just a fattie hurting herself. Itd take hours to sum up her history in a video. Nobody stays in her life for more than 3/4 years, for good reason.
It was only months ago she released a video hinting that she had lung cancer. By the time she published it she was already aware that the lung thing was something mundane.

Between election interference, COVID flamewars, the Tiktok ban and the constant barrage of advertising, most normies are already jaded towards the internet/SM. Teenagers are also taking more interest in offline hobbies than last decade, such as thrift-flipping, crocheting, dancing and sculpting, and being less online and more “mysterious” is becoming the cool new thing.

No one watches films or watches livestreams on YouTube even though they could. No one exclusively shops on Amazon or eBay. No one messages only on WhatsApp or Messenger or whatever.
Given the fact the EU is actively frustrating US tech companies whilst other countries in the industry are embracing end-to-end encryption to the point of breaking laws, I seriously doubt we'll get a global super app monopoly.

The vast majority of the woke crowd were (formerly known as) millennial hipsters. I remember from 2012-2019 was really the big era for the zoomies to either become an oversensitive little troon faggot, or a normal person. And we can all see how they turned out. I’m starting to feel that with this large ‘trad’ wave with younger millennials and older zoomers doesn’t fully push women into boxes of being a mother/nurse to everyone; but instead just gives
everyone (especially the little wokefags) a sense of shame for how they behave kek

US predictions.
It's not likely that immigration will be solved in this decade because it's in everyone's interest to import foreign cheap labor and depress American wages. That's why both Republicans and democrats have been very wishy washy about the border, Republicans might say they're against it, but their big donors don't care about Americans so nothing will come of it. There's only 2 candidates who might do something about it, Trump and DeSantis. Overall, the election isn't looking too good no matter who takes power. There's ideologue beauracrats on the left and right who want to push their agenda instead of just doing their job.
I think things are going to get way worse, and it doesn't help that public schools fail to teach kids anything, or that most people spend time on the internet. Naturally people will appear dumber and less educated as their minds atrophy from underuse. The system works so long as there's affordable food on the shelves, but as prices get higher, lower and middle class Americans will feel the squeeze. This will create malcontent and even greater division, as people will look for a scapegoat. Expect everyone but the people responsible to face backlash. I do think this upcoming election will probably the most important in recent American history, and I hope that desantis wins inspite of his views on abortion, because he just seems like a normal person, his opponents even make fun of him for having no personality, which is actually a great thing because that means he's honest. His performance in the debate was cute as he got flustered with the world watching him, so he's not an attention whore/wanna be famous and or rich political hack like a lot of candidates are.

>troons will generally fade into obscurity because something more "fashionable" will emerge and TRAs will lose interest in supporting troons

>far right parties and politicians will rule next, especially in Europe, but ~40% of the population will still vote for left wing politicians
>less and less people will attend universities to the point that in 10-15 years from now their structure will be unrecognizable

>Facebook will die but this won't happen before 2028
>Twitter will never be completely rebranded as X
>by the end of the decade very few people will keep using imageboards, many of the smaller ones will shut down.

But you’re right about our future first female president if Biden wins. Your overall point about the DNC rigging is unfolding in front of our eyes. Look at how desperate they are to catch Trump legally rather than beat him at the ballot box. I don’t want Trump to win, but I want him to be beat democratically. Unfortunately, that’s not how it’s going to go down. The dirty play will only intensify going forward.
Also, the DNC is going to take out RFK Jr. one way or another as he’s a bigger threat to Biden than Trump. Just hopefully not in the way his ancestors went.

I predict that by the end of the 2020s, the internet will be a very different place from what it is today.
I feel as though we're living through something important now. I think that within the next two years, Twitter will be dead and offline. I think that a lot of popular social media platforms will be gone by 2030. I'm not sure exactly what I feel this way, but I'm getting this strange sense of déjà vu lately online. It feels like the very late 00s, when a lot of titans died and new sites were born. Facebook has a hold over the Boomers and Gen Xers, and I don't think Millennials will ever really leave Instagram, but I don't think FB or IG will have the same popularity nor cultural relevance by the late 2020s as they do now. Besides the death of most current social media platforms, I also think that by the late 2020s there will be a lot more regulations and restrictions regarding the web. I assume more countries will adopt China's Great Firewall approach. Or, at the very least, they will tie internet browsing to an individual's identification, i.e., you'll have to use your drivers' license to access the web. Consequently, I'm also worried that there will soon by a great loss of data. I think that archival websites will see a surge in popularity in the coming years.
