Been reading some of this thread back and made a lukewarm observation - cspam Ukraine thread: good at historic events, less good as current events, really bad at predicting future events. Does that sound fair?

But pretty bad at the historic perspective. If you ask people here why the feel that way they feel about current events, it's usually based on some historic perspective.

for instance the GBS thread correctly predicted that Russians were all shadow men from the 1488th dimension who would 'genocide all of Ukraine' and that's what happened

It is true CSPAM is informed by an understanding of previous events. This might look very strange to someone unburdened by this.

Cromulent_Chill posted:Lmao what did GBS predict? It's less of predicting things correctly and more making less incorrect predictions. Just my opinion but: - first prediction: will Russia invad - looking back at the first thread in cspam: thinking this war would be over in a couple of weeks by a total Russian steamrolling.Volksturm etc. Based on mostly wishful thinking somehow GBS were correct that Ukraine would drive Russia to a standstill. - cspam predicting the sinking of the Moskva to be fake - c spam predicting the Ukrainian counteroffensives to be ineffective, Kherson to never be recaptured. GBS were overly optimistic but closer to what eventually happened. - Good predictions from GBS: return of penal battalions as fodder. - This is going to get me in trouble: But they correctly predicted the current Russian ammo shortage that Girkinn was posting about.

GBS didn't accurately predict the actual invasion. I got threatened with probation for Clancychat for stating that it was obvious the invasion was about to happen once the cyber attacks happened because at that point Russia was following the same playbook as before, and got into a toxx in D&D over the same thing GBS most posters got that one way wrong and I won a toxx off of being right. Instead of bans I made the stipulation to donate to humanitarian aid

To be fair about c-spam and the initial invasion it was less “they won’t invade” and more “they won’t invade because they’ll get royally hosed by the mud” which is what happened after they invaded

And see how things shake out 20 years down the road. Yeah I'm not trying to poo poo talk cspam or a specific poster. But posters here seem to weigh te events from the past 50 years more heavily in their predictions then im used to. Instead of focusing on the more recent news/ OSINT drama. As an example: FF has to the best of my knowledge form reading his posts never read about a historical battle that he couldn't turn into a analogy for Ukraine. It just has not lead to an substantially better track record in predicting the events of this past year.
