A few predictions for the next 50 years

1. Germany tries to take over the world. Twice!

I feel like some of what's going on is reruns with variations. I'll throw my hat in the ring.

1. The global economic situation and standard of living will continue to deteriorate with several European nations spared of the crisis almost entirely.

2. As corporate power tightens, a series of leaked exposes such as wikileaks and strikes will invigorate protests globally. Governments, including in the United States will respond lawlessly and violently.

3. This will be followed by a period marked by a series of high profile attacks and assassinations against politicians and captains of industry which will be condemned by the media but publicly popular.

4. A true reformer president will be elected who will stand up for the peoples' interests. He will be assassinated leading to an extreme cultural backlash against the right wing. The vice president will take over and aggressively renegotiate trade policies leading to a manufacturing boom in America. Universal healthcare and many other European style socialist policies will become reality. Several politicians from past administrations face serious criminal charges but most die or are ruled unfit to stand trial before justice is served.

5. After initial tensions, as America rises, China realizes that much like France and Germany, it's economy is too intertwined. This results in better relations and liberalization of Chinese government and culture.

6. The government of Iran collapses and is replaced by a secular democratic government called the United Republic of Persia. Its resources make it a major economic power creating tension with Israel. Israel goes through massive reforms as much of the old government is voted out and changes the way it treats its Arab and Persian Jewish/Mizrahi population. This results in a loosening of tensions between Iran and Israel.

7. With the development of nanophotovoltaics and increased use of vegetable materials for the manufacture of plastics, petroleum becomes nearly worthless leading to many Arab countries liberalizing in order to survive. Terrorist groups lose their funding as monarchies collapse.

8. Russia becomes fascist. Belarus collapses and is united in a union with Ukraine, Poland, Latvia, Lithuania, and Estonia. A Russian invasion of Europe is halted by Belarus launching a secret arsenal of unaccounted Soviet ICBM's taking out many military bases and destabilizing the government, leading Siberia and Chechnya to declare its independence.

9. North Korea collapses and is absorbed by the south.

10. As female empowerment and gay rights increase in prevalence globally, birth rates stabilize and overpopulation becomes far less of a concern.

That's pretty specific. May I ask why you have reached some of these conclusions?

in the next 50 yrs Caucasian race will become the minority in the US.
indigenous brown ppl will once again be the overwhelming population the turn over will change many US policies this will be one of the 1st steps to the end of euro occupation of the americas..

in this new world black ppl will still be the minority and asian jokes will still run rampant.. White women will still be sought after especially the blond blue eyed...

the borders will close to prevent further euro immigration

Do you really think that will ever happen? You're leaving out a lot. How many decades do you think this will take?

I predict Marijuana will be entirely legalized in the US within 50 years. I'd be surprised if it took that long, actually.

plus the prison rate will drop significantly but the rise of white Caucasians prisoners and blue collar crime will increase exponentially..

the police suspect of criminal stereotype's will be focus more on kaki wearing Caucasians and college kids not so much inner city youths.

so speaks bastardamus

The future can be hard to predict though many have tried throughout history. I don't know what the future holds but here's a few things I think have a real good chance of happening in the next half century.

1)Countries will cease to exist for the most part. A few large global corporations will control everything as governments and national borders become obsolete. The middle class of the Western World will completely disappear leaving only a small wealthy elite ruling over the rest of us.

2)The oil based energy economy will collapse in the next 20 years. Alternative fuels will mean an eventual recovery but not until irreperable damage has been done to the environment and hundreds of millions face economic hardship.

3)A rogue country such as Iran or North Korea will use a nuclear weapon against on of it's neighbors instigating a large regional though not global war. The US, China, or Russia will retaliate in kind but it won't result in a global nuclear war.

4)Terrorists will detonate a dirty bomb in either the US, Europe, or Israel but it won't be a full blown nuke which is much harder to do than most people think.

5)The catastrophic effects of global warming will be felt. The polar ice cap will break up altering ocean currents playing havoc on weather patterns around the world. Because of the loss of the gulf stream Europe's climate will now resemble Siberia's. Many heavily populated low lying regions of the world will start to flood.

6)Mass extinctions of the world's plant and animal species will accelerate far beyond than the already high rate that it is. All the big cats, all elephants, all the great apes, all species of rhino, polar bears, many of the worlds amphibians, most of the worlds corals, and millions of other plant and animal species will disappear completely or remain as token populations in captivity only.

7)The human population will eventually start to decline due to overpopulation, overuse of natural resources, famine, pollution, and disease.

8)As conditions detereroate there will be a mass revival of middle eastern religions which will eventually turn to a backlash when "God" doesn't show.

A gloomy picture I know but it's how I see the future based on trends I see now.

yes that is why there is a plan to create a one world government and to reduce the world population by 80%. the people who control this planet are not stupid and they have there goals in sight

I don't think there will be that that many Native/American Indians, not even if they quadrupled their ****ing over the next 50 years.

Caucasians will still have the money and money = control. Does it really matter if there's a non-white puppet in the White House or the seats in Congress? If you want to know what I'm referring to, Chris Rock did a skit on the difference between being rich and being wealthy.

Odd point you bring up about 'white women', there are those that say the reason why non-white men seek white-woman as partners is because of the controlling white-aspect. ie I want what those [white] guys have. In your future if control is replaced, then the desire would be replaced as well, no?

Question: How do you kill around 5 billion people?

I agree with you on the one world government but I'm skeptical about reducing the population by that much though it would be a good thing.

5<+/-> billion dead people is a good thing? How so?

fertilizer. 😄

aside from that reduce carbon and other gasses from the worlds atmosphere reduction of ppl equal reduction of animal life stock which equals less deforestation and raping of mother earth

The amount of people isn't so much the problem as the practices humanity uses in regards to pollution.

Same goes for living space and resources, the planet has plenty of room and supplies; it's how humanity uses these is the problem.

Planet could support 10x, with proper and thoughtful control.

i refuse to recycle and eat algae as my main food supply 😐

You should recycle; considering you're one of those "mother Earth" aholes, you should really recycle. But pollution goes beyond recycling; you know this.

50+% of food is thrown out, spoils while in storage and/or is ruined in transit. There isn't a food shortage in the world, just morons and greedy shit-strains.

i am not!!jr_shakefist

seriously we have a plastic recycle bin.... and i am a eugenics type enthusiast and survivalist respectful of animals and nature not really a "mother Earth" type.

i just have overlapping ideas from time to time...

The earth is extremely overpopulated now and it's only getting worse. Ultimately it will not sustain the current population much less a larger one. A population of a billion or so would make what resources we have go much further and create a better quality of life for those that would be here.

The earth doesn't need 10X the human population it has, it needs less.

Alternatively we could improve our necessary technologies so that they pollute less (working on that!), develop/incentivize ways of cleaning up the environment (working on that!), encourage less population growth (apparently a natural consequence of a stable health care anyway) and improve international infrastructure so that the massive supplies of unused food the West has can be sent to poor nations (followed up by an aggressive education plan so they can be independent within fifty years).

Once you've got an all powerful one world government it wouldn't be that hard to set up.

There is no "over population", there's plenty of room and plenty of resources. It's how humanity uses the space and resources are where the problems reside.

So a mass killing isn't the solution, as humanity would eventually end up back where it started. It's better to change ideas and practices than to kill 5 billion people, no?

I didn't say it "needed", I said it could support, with proper practices of course. But feel free to jump off a bridge if 'less population' is what you see as being necessary.
