Predictions for the near future, part 15

Due to the huge advances in technology, we have become a society where most people have a video camera in their pocket, ready to be used at a moment's notice (at least if they have got acquainted themselves with this functionality). This is completely unprecedented in human history. No longer are we restricted to eyewitness accounts and the occasional blurry security camera footage whenever something of notoriety happens on the streets. More and more frequently we get crisp high-resolution footage, often from many angles, of any important event that may be happening.

In many ways this is a quite good thing. Whenever some kind of crime happens at a crowded public place, such as an assault or some other kind of ruckus, it's almost guaranteed that there will be clear footage of it. No longer is the police restricted to unreliable eyewitness accounts and blurry security camera footage (which is quite often filmed from very far, if at all, and without sound). Now they can quite often judge for themselves from the footage what exactly happened, and what was actually said and done. Thus crimes can be handled more efficiently and appropriately, and there are less and less cases where the two sides of the scuffle have their own unreliable version of what happened. Quite often justice can be served much more efficiently and fairly.

This presents one huge problem for regressive leftist social justice warriors, though. The problem is that in the current political climate it tends to be them who are the perpetrators of violence and assault, quite often against people who are doing nothing wrong.

The problem is, of course, that no longer can they get away with it by lying, when there's usually ample clear footage of what happened.

This is already biting them, and has been so for quite some years now. The most notorious and famous cases (such as the assault with a bikelock, or the guy who assaulted a woman with a kick) are but the tip of the iceberg. If you start digging the smaller stories, you'll find that there are dozens and dozens of examples of, for example, social justice warriors physically assaulting conservatives on university campuses, and getting prosecuted by the police. These don't usually make headlines, but they exist by the dozen, and are in fact becoming more and more common by the week.

Since social justice warriors are getting more and more radicalized, and more and more overtly physically violent by the week, and they are getting caught again and again doing so on camera, I predict that in the quite near future they will start to become hostile towards people for simply filming them in public.

People, especially in the United States, are already overly sensitive about being filmed in public by random people. I predict that social justice warriors, as always, will start taking this hostility to its absolute extreme. If you take out a cellphone to film in their presence, they will start harassing you, shouting at you, calling you names (the usual ones), and ironically even physically assaulting you. A mentality will form among them that anybody who films them is the enemy, the "nazis", the "fascists", and they have to be dealt with violence if necessary. Therefore such harassment and assaults will become more and more common, for the mere reason of taking out a cellphone and starting filming.

Especially if you are white. Which segues nicely to my other prediction:

Although I have already predicted this in previous versions of this series, I think it deserves repeating and expanding: The rhetoric against white people will keep getting worse and worse, with virtually no limit. As with pretty much everything else, the social justice rhetoric will never stop, and will become bolder and bolder, and more and more extreme with no limit. Things that might have sounded too radical just a few years ago will start becoming common parlance. Once these extremist radical claims become normalized, new even more radical claims will be made; rinse and repeat. There will be no limit to the extent to which this anti-white rhetoric will eventually go. Even the worst antisemitic propaganda ever by Nazi Germany prior to World War II will be tame in comparison to the anti-white propaganda that social justice warriors will produce.

As a consequence of all this rhetoric and radicalization, violence against white people will escalate and escalate. Random people will be assaulted, just because of their skin color. People's homes will be vandalized, with rocks thrown through windows, spray-painted, and even burned down.

It will reach a point where even the American police will no longer be able to simply watch from the sidelines and allow all this crime to be happening with complete impunity in the name of "protesting", as they have been mostly doing so far, and will have to start intervening with a heavy hand. Of course the regressive left will interpret this as the police abusing their power and being totalitarian, which will only fuel their violence even more.
