Say Something Will Happen

"Japanese stocks imploding, Iranian attack imminent, UK race war, US president memoryholed, Ukrainian lines folding, tech bubble popping, crypto collapsing. It's not too late to admit it. Say it. Say something will happen."

A screenshot of a tweet lists a series of dramatic geopolitical and financial predictions, followed by a still of James Bond being interrogated by Le Chiffre in Casino Royale. The joke compares the tweet’s increasingly alarmist predictions to Bond’s torture scene, implying the author is desperately trying to force a prediction to come true. It is used as a reaction to doomposting and confident but unsupported forecasts.
