Current Events > Serious question: what is it with 2020?

(+) Yeah! (+)

This is obviously about Chadwicks death.

too many horrible things have happened this year. This cant be normal.

is there any far fetched religious or esoteric or numerological theory for all this shit? At this point I want to hear what spiritual/superstitious/esoteric people think about this, this shit is out of control

2020 has been a pretty messed up year for the world but absolutely loads of widely liked people in the entertainment and arts world die every year from all age groups, it just depends on who and what appeals to you to whether you notice it.

I don't know. I've heard it you're not a true believer it's going to be a pretty bad day though.

dude people say this shit like EVERY year

Remember when 2016 was the worst year ever?

I realize there is a pandemic going on right now but stop being over dramatic.

---

There's lots of horrible things every year. The pandemic is new but there's always lots of tragic deaths every year.

Theres some theory about how the calendars have been off by 8 years and it's actually 2012 in the Mayan calendar.

Bose's death, the result of religious turmoil? Um no, good people die every year, it just happens. It happened last year and the year before that too.

The real problem with 2020 is a pandemic and sociopolitical unrest fomenting in america.

This year has been so crazy that the #1 state in corn production had over 30% of its corn crops wiped out by a massive storm which did millions of dollars in damage and leaving millions without power, and it was barely a story covered for more than 5 mins. And I bet about 40% of people reading this post had no idea that even happened. That's how fucked up 2020 is.

---

Disturbing when you think about like 2020 vision medical terminology and hindsight is 2020 expressions

---

you think a sign of the end of the world is celebrity deaths? People die man. Its tragic but it happens.

My theory is that this is just setting us up for the finale where the entire planet just ends up exploding.

I hated how overdramatic people were being in 2016, mostly because of a number of beloved celebrity deaths.

That said, 2020 genuinely IS an awful year, especially in america. The pandemic is huge, it's a massive cultural shift and it has destroyed many businesses and set the world into a depressive state. Entertainment ground to a stop, and we entered a state where it became stressful just to be around other people. The virus has also ignited a lot of conflict and strife. It's exposed many of the worst failings of the american system, from its awful healthcare and government support to the failings of americans' rugged individualism.

OK so that alone would be enough to make 2020 awful, but on top of that we also have had
-Major and horrifyingly violent conflicts over police brutality and racism
-Massive fires in Australia that killed so many animals and destroyed so much land
-A looming and exhausting election that has proven itself to be even more caustic than the 2016 one, and is going to get worse.
-Plus miscellaneous other pockets of stress like the conflict with Iran in january, or the devastation from hurricane Laura. Then the usual smattering of high-profile celebrity deaths as well.
-The efforts by our own president to undermine our country's democracy, and the increasing fervor and devotion of his fanbase.

So yes 2020 is a genuinely awful year and it's not being overdramatic.

Its yo mama. Yes, I know its hard to hear but its true. 2020 is your mothers fault.

i'm still of the belief that Earth was nominated to join the intergalactic union, comprised of the inhabited planet of each galaxy, and our final test was the 2016 election. we failed that test, and went on to be even worse over the next 4 years...the Intergalactic Union has opted to end our planet.

we've been an intergalactic prison planet for millions and millions of years now. At least that's what scientologists believe or some shit like that.

Nearly 200,000 people died in America. Nearly 840,000 world wide.

Considering that afaik America is the only one really getting fucked in terms of first world countries, if it were to hypothetically go for round 2 and spread everywhere else again we'd potentially suffer over a million deaths.

I'm talking about a pandemic in which if we took proper precautions we'd have what, a 5th of those numbers?

It's not like America was the origin of it all and didn't know what to do, we saw what was going on in Asia and our shitty government did jack shit.

Oki doke. If having a singular point to blame the entire thing on helps you, sure.

We just need to kick Trump out and things will get infinitely better in the U.S.

This is not about lol celebrity deaths haha I dont even like marvel.

step back and think:

• Australia forest fires, almost extinct koalas
• the orange one almost caused World War III
• kobe died
• COVID
• Economy near collapse due to COVID
• murder hornets
• race riots in the streets, police doubling down on the racial murders even if it will cause more riots
• white supremacists attacking the race protesters and police going like yeh! Dat my boys! MAGA! And giving said supremacists a pass or bottles of water
• Confirmation that people can get re-infected with COVID

Dude its only August. This is an especially bad year

Was't this back in February? I remember worrying about if we'd all get nuked or if I'd get drafted for this shit and now even those countries we had iffy relationships are like "Everyone stay the fuck home holy shit"

No one discredited those deaths, but we have an EXTRA 200K on top of the ones that were already dying for all the reasons you're thinking. Are you trying to imply that because people get murdered we shouldn't worry about the Covid issue? Or are you implying people are only able to worry about one issue at a time, and chose the wrong issue?
