   Look at 16 & 20.  Fuck you liberal cunts.  You're done.  Go kill   
   your kids and drink some poison.   
      
   16. Boris Johnson would lead Brexit   
   In 1997, British news organization The Independent forecast that   
   in 2020 Boris Johnson would become a member of the Cabinet of   
   the United Kingdom, a decision-making body composed of the Prime   
   Minister and a team of hand-picked Members of Parliament.   
      
   At the time, Johnson, 32, was known as an outspoken editor and   
   columnist but had not held public office. "Not shy in clashing   
   with party lines, Boris would 'renegotiate EU membership so   
   Britain stands to Europe as Canada, not Texas, stands to the   
   USA,'" the journalists wrote.   
      
   Pretty close: Have you heard of Brexit? Johnson became Prime   
   Minister in July 2019. He first served in the Cabinet starting   
   in 2016 as foreign secretary under Theresa May. In December,   
   Johnson led his Conservative Party to victory in a national   
   election on the promise to "get Brexit done."   
      
   20. Nationalism will wane   
   In the same 1968 text, Ithiel de Sola Pool, a political science   
   professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology,   
   predicted that better communication, easier translation and   
   greater understanding of the nature of human motivations would   
   make it easier for people to connect across ethnic and national   
   lines.   
      
   "By the year 2018 nationalism should be a waning force in the   
   world. The increasing openness about feelings and   
   identifications may help men to overcome some of the more   
   destructive and hostile motivations that underlie nationalism,"   
   he wrote.   
      
   The opposite is true. Fueled by backlash against immigration,   
   globalization and the political establishment, populist   
   nationalism was a driving force behind Brexit, the election of   
   Donald Trump and the rise of right-wing politicians in France,   
   Austria, Italy, Hungary and Poland, among other countries,   
   academics say.   
      
   "Everywhere one looks, in fact, one sees nationalism at work in   
   today’s world," Stephen Walt, a professor of international   
   relations at Harvard University, wrote in Foreign Policy   
   Magazine.
