10 years from now the world will be more right leaning than left leaning. i know that much. what i don't know is what such a world would look like.

what do you reckon?

in the year 2014 I was arguing for left-leaning ideologies. enter 2024, and the world I wished for was here—and it's nothing like what I imagined.

now, I'm right-leaning, and if my personal experience is anything to go by, in the year 2034, right-wing ideologies will be the dominant ideology. but what would such a world look like... would it also be nothing like what I would imagine 🤔

People never tolerate isolationism for too long.

The worry for me is that governments will be elected with ever smaller majorities and upper houses will have no majorities so ultimately everything grinds to a halt.
Then you're at the mercy of the likes of Musk and worse seeking to create a world in their image.

@Picklebobble2 i'd rather musk do it out in the open than someone else does it from the shadows. musk isn't even that bad. tell me, why is he so bad?

@thrash 1st point. He is working with the national reconnaissance office putting spy satellites in the sky so, "you cannot hide"

@thrash Well personally I think he tries to come across as an 'influencer' with his seemingly endless opinions on everything which he posts on his own platforms...yet demands the right to remove and even ban others who post opposing views.

All of which is fine...until you read endless stories about his supposed 'influence' with seats of real life power at U.S. Presidential level that could (if true) close or redistribute money or degrees of power to different bodies that aren't elected and have no accountability to the public.

@gol979 i just looked into this. all "you cant hide" means is that you cant hide digitally. because he will give internet to the whole world. tha's not a bad thing, cmon. if that's so bad then turn your internet off.

@thrash oh yeah.....i forgot that the entities that are saying "you cant hide" will be honest and not market their agenda as "giving you internet".
