the deadliest armies in history clashing in bloody war. Second of all, projecting 21st century American politics back in time and then having it go even further right doesn't mean he 'predicted' 21st century American politics going farther right IRL. Dark Ages is a tactical digital board game set in the violent world of alternate Middle Ages.
The only connection than can really be drawn between them is the rather common-sense notion that a 'far-left' movement might arise at the same time or in response to a far-right movement - that doesn't count as a 'prediction' in my books.ĥ] First of all, that's an abuse of the term ASB - it's meant to be a term for the involvement of what is essentially magic (an ASB makes all the industrial technology stop working so I can create a neo-medieval America), not the occurance of events you consider unlikely. The former are/were working within the Democratic party while the latter were an entirely new political party. Everything else is so vague that calling it a prediction is bullshit.Ģ] Creating an ahistorical Islamist movement doesn't mean he 'predicted ISIS', especially when Islamism was already a thing at the time the TL was being written.ģ] As has already been pointed out, his 'pandemic from China' "prediction" was written shortly after the Swine Flu pandemic, which was at the time believed to have originated in China.Ĥ] No, Bernie Sanders & AOC are not his TL's We The People party. Click to shrink.The thing is, having a civil war in Syria between Islamists and secular nationalists is the only specific "prediction" on that list, and it's not exactly an unpredictable event IRL.
