The French writer Jean Raspail died this summer. It was somehow fitting that the man whose dark novel The Camp of the Saints foretold the end of western civilization should pass at a time when everything seemed to be falling apart.
As a summary of the state of the world at the time of his death, one could hardly do better than to quote a passage from Raspail’s prophetic book:
“Day by day, month by month, doubt by doubt, law and order became fascism; education, constraint; work, alienation; revolution, mere sport; leisure, a privilege of class; marijuana, a harmless weed; family, a stifling hothouse; affluence, oppression; success, a social disease; sex, an innocent pastime; youth, a permanent tribunal; maturity, the new senility; discipline, an attack on personality.”
Three major events intersected in the tumultuous year of 2020: the coronavirus pandemic, the Black Lives Matter/Antifa-inspired riots that occurred after the police killing of George Floyd, and the vigorous assault on free speech that became known as “cancel culture.” These all preceded a presidential election that degenerated into a calamity.
When the coronavirus first appeared, the neo-Thought Police in the media took pains to refrain from referring to the virus by its place of origin (the “Wuhan virus” or the “China flu”) for fear of being politically incorrect. Notwithstanding the fact that West Nile Virus, Ebola, and Lyme Disease, among other maladies, are named after the geographic origins of the disease, there was an exception made for this one. Using the term Wuhan flu was simply not permitted.

And hello to a worse one.
It will get drastically worse until we have a french style revolution
“No. Not anymore.”
And to do it immediately. We waited far too long to object to the tyranny imposed upon us which has separated our families, crushed our liberties, and ruined our businesses and careers.
I think one of the Dems’ first moves will be to somehow extend our imprisonment and even make it harsher. People have got to resist right away, and the free(er) states have got to get together and resist as well.
That is going to determine what we will be saying next year at this time. Happy New Year, I hope!
You took the words right out of my mouth.....
Agreed.
I fear that 2021 is going to be much, much worse.
A toilet paper shortage will look like nostalgia in comparison to the coming food shortages.
And Harris/Biden are going to be enjoying every minute of it.

I suspect you are more than correct.
I’m set with TP, though.
Yes, not sure why they are acting like the new year means we are turning a corner, or there is light at the end of the tunnel. Anyone who remembers the early Obamunist regime knows we are in for melancholic stagnation, and are moving a few notches lower in terms of standard of living.
2021 is going to be hell on earth I believe.
It’ll be calm until June or so. Then at that point we’ll start to see the economic and diplomatic fireworks start.
The BLM/ANTIFA folks will be the ones who will suffer the most I believe. They are clueless buffoons being used to bring in the next ‘reich’.
By June we’ll have another false flag mass shooting and effortz\s to seize firearms and overturn the 2nd Amendment.
Perhaps..
Or maybe the CDC releases another deadly virus killing millions this time?
Anything is possible.
I believe you are correct.
