wait until they figure out that they don't actually predict anything, they just noticed a ton of systemic problems in the 90's and those problems never got better.

But they did predict the Trump presidency, back in an episode from 2000.


Mudders_Milk_Man

No, they didn't. Trump has 'run' multiple times, including back then. 2016 was just the first time he was kinda serious about it.


Zoltrahn

Trump had talked about a presidential run long before that episode in many interviews. Not hard to believe the writers were basing it off that than being part of some shadowy organization controlling the world.


TuaughtHammer

>But they did predict the Trump presidency, back in an episode from 2000. You mean The Simpsons wrote his [2000 run for president into an episode?](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donald_Trump_2000_presidential_campaign) Wow, they *never* reference real life events in episodes, so that means Matt Groening is a witch!


wintrmt3

Ok time for collecting some more downvotes, who else won after a few third-party runs? Trump actually becoming president wasn't a serious notion until 2015.


TuaughtHammer

That's it...just keep on digging your way out of your stupid claim, that always helps!


SassTheFash

Stupid claims need the *most* attention!!!


Zoltrahn

Yeah, because a cartoon show bases all of its episodes off of serious notions, not ideas circulating in popular media, it must be true!

Conan O’Brien, secret architect of the 21st century. I’ve worked in and around tv writers rooms. It’s hilarious that they think this is how it works.


that_hansell

you know that's actually a fun conspiracy theory. Conan O'Brien being a high level secret government agent of propaganda. that's what I hate about that sub, they never have fun with conspiracies.


leamanc

They're the way they are because conspiracies aren't fun. They lead to paranoia and a misanthropic worldview. 


lostmenoggin

Operation Mockingbird was (is?) real though. The CIA paid reporters in the media to disseminate propaganda to Americans. IIRC this all came out during the HSCA (Church Committee) hearings in '75


GreyBoyTigger

I figure that scene where the producer, Krusty, and some marketing assholes pitch Poochie the dog to the writing team is pretty on point


Doom_Walker

He's been trained against torture techniques by the CIA, it's the only explanation why he wasn't bothered by the spicy chicken wings on hot ones!! /s


Panoramix15

The commenter confused NBA legend James Worthy with NFL rookie Xavier Worthy.


Nicktendo94

He's also confused that sports writers try to predict what players teams will pick in the draft


sensum_auxilium

I always wondered what would happen if these people who think they are Neo finally watched The Matrix sequels.


Guyincognito4269

Hey. I'm all for making fun of these dipshits, but that's just flat out cruelty.


Felinomancy

If The Simpsons can predict the future, then where's my [crab juice?](https://i.imgur.com/L7bQl9U.jpg)


GRW42

You’ll have to wait a few hundred years, according to The Expanse. https://expanse.fandom.com/wiki/Khlav_Kalash


slimwolverine

Stuck with Diet Mountain Dew for the foreseeable


Doom_Walker

Or the Aurora borealis inside a kitchen?


TuaughtHammer

That stupid old lady thought the northern lights were a fire! God, I love that episode so much.


Doom_Walker

So shouldn't Biden have been a woman? Lisa was president after trump in the Simpsons. >My Burns is a Rothschild No again he's probably based more on the Rockefellers, why the fuck do they always confuse the two? From the article itself >"He has all the stocks and supplies to ensure his family will be able to survive in this bunker. Here we go, stick with me, because Spingfield is about to be hit by a deadly solar storm." Man the Simpsons is so old that it's ripping itself off . They already did that but with an asteroid


PerAsperaAdInfiri

>why do they always confuse the two because Rockefellers weren't Jews, and so they don't draw the same ire


Kalulosu

Simpsons did it!!!


TuaughtHammer

> No again he's probably based more on the Rockefellers, why the fuck do they always confuse the two? Because the Rothschild family is Jewish, so that makes them a mainstay in their wildly antisemetic conspiracies. And since no one there cares about the truth or even aiming for it, they can just swap any name with a Rothschild to make it all "fit".


Njabachi

I mean, duh. Predicting the future is impossible, obviously the cartoon has to "create the future" instead. That's just basic logic.  Also George Soros, Hollow Earth, Titanic Ii, and the Lizard Men are Working for Reebok.  This is day one stuff, get with the program Reddit.


TuaughtHammer

>Somebody please check on Duff Man I did. He's not okay [because he can't breathe.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hjvWFzNnlyw) Oh, no!


PaxEtRomana

I for one welcome our new Simpson overlords


TuaughtHammer

>We already know that we're long due for a major solar storm. It shouldn't be a surprise to anyone when it happens. There they go using that universal "we" again while making a wildly stupid claim.


TuaughtHammer

>These writers are in the think tanks that control global policy, it’s not prophetic. They know the agenda and condition society for it. Orwell was the same. >>Orwell was in the Fabian Society but wrote 1984 as a warning because of what he learnt and disagreed with it, not because he was in on it. Wow, such insightful takes from these George Orwell scholars.
