Veeky Forums predictions for the future? Specially this century

everyone on this board dies

Communism will win

fossil fuels will run out sooner than we were told they would, as the elite run to their fusion-powered bunkers and wait for the apocalypse above ground to end, leading to a new world order

The darkness comes for us all and there is no escape. There is no timeline where we escape the darkness.

>Space travel doesn't have a resurgence. It's seen like flying cars.
>Phosphorus depletion fucks crops.
>Human genetic engineering might take off, but people won't want invasive cybernetics.
>Few people cook at home.
>Physical internet and drone-delivered packages become a thing.
>Privacy is virtually a forgotten concept.
>Automation causes a narrowing window of employment and most labor turns to worse paid and more degrading service jobs than today.
>Extinctions cause cascading failures in ecosystems, regional at first, and later globally.
>Antibiotics become mostly useless and higher population densities cause mass disease.
>The West will become more politically polarized, swinging even further right then now, before a hard swing to the left as economic inequality increases.
>Insects everywhere in human areas due to frog extinctions and increased artificial lighting.
>China eclipses the US economically but not militarily for a much longer time. Starts to gain real cultural influence in global media.
>Whites aren't a majority in the US, but remain a plurality, still richer and more represented than most groups. Ethno-political lines blur as virtually all minorities become part white.
>Immigrants become less accepted and homosexuals become more accepted virtually everywhere.
>Atheists become a significant demographic in the middle east. Religion devolves further into LARPing.
>Prices rise due to fuel scarcity. Rent and housing prices rise in most places.
>Western cultures become similar to Asians, with three generations in one household and a strong emphasis on education.

That this thread will be deleted.
Also global warning will fuck us over harder than any social issue once the carbon and methane traps get going.

>implying it hasn't already

Solid replies.

I enjoyed reading this, we need more posts like this.

I'm fairly positive. The way I see it, we're living a "mini 70's" where liberalism goes on steroids. What follows and is starting are the "mini 80's". People tend towards conservatism because the left went absolutely crazy and radical and are rejected. This'll be the time when business will boom under laxer post-austerity regulation (with what I agree are dodgier business practices), and people will kind of come off the self-righteous rage they've been on.

>Few people cook at home.

What are you going to do when oil hits 1 zillion dollars a barrel? Starve?

People will only be eating what they can grow beside their house

>oil to fertilize the crops
>oil to harvest it
>oil to process it
>oil to transport it
>oil to package it in plastic

The days of eating shit transported from around the globe wont last too long

A global collapse happens and mongels die off in Europe

this, and it will result from the final destruction of non-urban environments in the US due to automation of the transportation industry sparking revolution there and subsequently the world due to the prime forces behind capitalism suddenly turning against it. from there the only interesting conflict will be a possible octavian/antony cold war between the US and china over who gets to be the cultural hegemon under communism.

>still believing the peak oil meme

>Western cultures become similar to Asians, with three generations in one household
yt ppl will go extinct before this happens

>I don't believe in resources being finite

alri

>>Immigrants become less accepted and homosexuals become more accepted virtually everywhere

Huh?

Artificial death in the West

M*xicans will overrun all of North America in a short, smelly, fat brown tide of bean smelling farts, shoveled shit, and random beheadings and cannibalism of each other. This will plunge the world into a post-apocalyptic age as one of those human cockroaches stumbles across a nuclear missile silo and kicks off ww3 by partying around while drunk off his ass on 2 peso tequila and blows up half of Europe by mistake.

The part with the ecosystem failures will hit hard and make most of your other points obsolete.
It means that densly populated areas will no longer have food and water.
Than means hundreds of millions on the move, conflicts escalating, breakdown of all order.
And we have no way of knowing how that would turn out, expect for the 100s of millions or billions dead.

we can only hope

Resources are finite, but demand for oil is already projected to fall within our lifetimes. The Oil Industry is already preparing to shift their business model as humanity reaches "Peak Demand" sometime in the next 2 decades and then starts to fall. Peak Oil is quite literally a 40 year old meme, it's not based on up to date projections of proven oil reserves, unproven oil reserves and consumer demand.

6 counts for breakdown
Where do you think would be the best places to survive if you don't have your own fully supplied bunker?
