  I don’t think anyone was that optimistic.

  Anyone paying attention in 2025 did not expect 2026 to be any better.

      Yeah, seriously. I don’t think I heard that from anybody.

  Being a cynical bastard is great, since my expectations are that things will probably get worse. I’m alive to watch modern society and capitalism eat itself out, and if things are actually getting better it will be a pleasant surprise.

  Otherwise pass the popcorn while I watch us go through the great filter.

    Pessimists only get happy surprises.

      It is a helluva optimistic way of thinking, to believe that you can just stand on the sidelines and watch while fascism takes its destructive course.

    Somehow the last few years have failed to meet even my low low expectations

    With contrarians like this around? I doubt it.
