I think there would be a WW3. Not in the next 20 years, but in the next 40-50 years (most of us will be alive but old by then).

Why? Because most of the currently authoritarian post-Soviet countries are becoming more and more revanchist and pro-war. This is due to the propaganda which is used in these countries - it basically treats the West as some kind of an evil empire. Even now, many people call for war against the Baltics there, for example.

Just imagine what it will be like when Putin and other dictators are gone. They will be replaced by nationalist and revanchist leaders who would escalate conflict possibly to the level of WW3. It's sure that they will try to reclaim the lands of the old Soviet Union. An attack on the Baltics, which are the members of NATO, is pretty certain.

We are headed for massive change. In the grand scheme of things we are right on the brink of it.
I'm quite excited about changing climate and changing conditions. Events like these are massive evolutionary drivers.
We have survived long enough to become what we are. We will continue to survive and improve.
Sounds macabre but an event that wipes out 95% of the human population would be a huge step forward for mankind.

it's like you think facts are opinion when you include them in anecdotal writing. Putin was democratically elected, and his presidency continues to be re-elected democratically.
Putin is a nationalist, why else do you think Russia hasn't been integrated into the capitalist hegemony of NATO.

>>7486920
By 2023
Conservatives and libertarians will cease voting in USA, realized that the Bolsheviks would rather not have freedom.
This causes revolution in south - eastern states, race wars, KGB tier fascism in states which are currently most regulating of rights.

Russia becomes more libertarian focused as it industrializes free from the economic cold war Bolshevik sanctions from obunga, this won't last. If a revolution hasn't happened by this point in USA, NATO will go to war with Russia and China, Russia will eventually threaten the use of WMD, USA will keep shitposting across Europe and asia, Russia will throw bombs, china will throw bombs, USA will throw bombs; EU, ASIA, north Africa are now blowout zones where stalkers collect artifacts for a living. USA accepts all citizens of Iseal into new york and gives them dual citizenship.

Jesus comes down from heaven, resurrects the holy armenian empire, granting the large nosed midgets holy powers. The 5'5 angels proceed to purify the planet by removing capitalism and primitive sub species.

Earth now speaks one language, a mix of Armenian, English, German, Russian, and Italian. Earth is ruled by a philosophy of nationalism, everyone believes each other capable, and many are, because those physically incapable died during the holy purge.

Yeah, this would obviously explain why the election results are not normally distributed, and have huge skews towards Putin's party.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3478593/

That would also obviously explain how he stole billions of dollars from the state budget and state companies, and how dissent is suppressed in Putin's Russia. And how the media is controlled.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Putin's_Palace

If Putin was democratically elected, Kim Jong-Un was too. He's very popular. And there are elections in North Korea.

However, if you have media which is owned by Putin's friends and the state, you end up with elections and popularity having no value at all, since people's opinions were influenced through lies and propaganda.

Yes, and that would also explain your horrible grammar. It's "I'm from *the* USA".

I'm from Russia, and I hate Putin. I hope he dies of cancer. Better yet, I hope he gets shot or blown up. He steals money from the state budget and the state companies, engages in huge corruption, and turns friendly nations against Russia with his imperialistic aggression. He's also a murderer, and would be tried for that in the Hague tribunal.

His money won't save him.

perhaps humanity can overcome its weaknesses and grow a societal structure and political function based on evidence? maybe in a few years Whole Brain Emulation will become feasible and desirable, maybe genetic engineering will make our lives long and our children mighty, maybe crazed religions will supplant rational thinking and tear down all enlightenment has worked for resulting in a worldwide theocracy and widespread "faith" until all humanity has regressed into believing in Santa and fairies.
