Word of the year from The Guardian

 

 

Ahah... picture and mischief by Gus Leonisky...

 

Not specific to 2020, but quite representative of this shit year of restrictions, etc... By Leunig.

 

 

1990, the year of the information "steam engine" processing... Another winner by Mark David...

I was going to write something about "exceptionally bad year 2020 was only ordinarily bad compared to some really bad years" but got beaten to it by Charlie Pickering...

 

His year in review is a masterclass of satire and comedy:

Can we expect better in 2021? According to Gus's calculations, 2021 will be a bad year for global warming with records galore, while the vaccination of people might not go according to plan. Will we regain a skerrick of sanity? With the human species being generally insane and delusional, we can expect no wind change. 

 

 

the future never goes according to plan (2)

According to OffGuardian, we are promised a Great Reset by the Great Resetters:

We’ve been told by the promoters of the pandemic, Klaus Schwab, Bill Gates, and others that it’s ushering in an opportunity for a Great Reset and that Covid 19 is the doorway to it.

Independent reporters like Cory Morningstar and Whitney Web have told a similar story without the glossy optimism.

The WEF has been running ads showing attractive young people having a great time and saying…

It’s 2030, I don’t own anything and I’ve never been happier.

They don’t go into just who will own everything but as they haven’t proposed eliminating capitalism it isn’t hard to guess.

According to the consortium of capitalists and their organizations such as the World Economic Forum, World Bank and even the UN we have a technocratic revolution led by AI, robotics and nanotechnology to look forward to. There will be a huge reduction in the need for workers. Scenarios are proposed which anticipate some form of UBI for the unfortunate masses.

The WEF is out of date by a long shot and fiddles with itself. Its latest dancing moves is like turning a light on so you don't fumble in the dark with your old slippers on your feet, but the light attracts moths that devour the linen and wools. 

THE FUTURE NEVER GOES ACCORDING TO PLAN, even for weapon manufacturers. The future goes partially to plan somewhere else, for those who plan to destroy something and everything. destroying stuff is easy...

For democracy builders, the system has been within a frog’s bum hair to be completely chaotic since inception — and the best economists are always wrong. Your best personal venture is to play the game, be proud with an average load of confident bullshit and deceit, while cooking your snag on the barbecue on Sundays.

Imagine! The new youth being free of care and have all things provided by the system, which by now is not a nation-state but a dedicated entertaining continuum in which AI does all the jobs... THE KIDS WOULD BE BORED and become MISCHIEVOUS! Or fat... (nothing new...)

"It’s 2030, I don’t own anything and I’ve never been happier." is a very old song...
