  Being wrong is always interesting to me because I get to learn the actual truth next.

  Being a pessimist is great because you’re either right or pleasantly surprised.

  I’ve been told for years I’m overreacting about international politics, Fascism spreading in USA, Climate change, and lately, Fascism spreading in Europe.

  I am so fucking sick of being right all the time, but I just can’t stop. Everything keeps getting worse. It’s like we’ve all adopted Russia’s political roadmap: “Everything fucking sucked, and then it got worse”.

      Its the worst the best is to just be silly enough that nobody takes you seriously and yells at you for being right most of the time so you don’t feel so bitter when they always agreed with you later and also you get yo be silly being silly is better than being correct

  I have predicted pretty everything that has happened since 9/11

  I hate being right about things that are so fucked

  I’ve been right about the good things too, but unfortunately they’re less frequent than the shitty stuff at the moment

  And by “moment”, I mean last 25 bloody years…

  I was surprised three times about a political thing in the last months:

  1. The Trump administration hasn’t cracked down on leftists (yet).
  2. AfD is starting to lose more in eastern Germany
  3. My city (Munich) elected a young Green promising to lower rent instead of some older social Democrat literally promising nothing new.

    There’s a socialist sweep happening but the Trump admin is likely starting to crack down, they’ve expanded their definition of terrorist again
