2020 is practically done for, looking forward what were your thoughts overall? Nothing worked out the way I thought they would, from a stolen election to a globalist worldwide shitshow that was how they handled this pandemic. Outlook's bleak, man.

2020 was a nightmare and I'm worried the 2020's will be somehow worse than the 2010's were.
More bleakness, more pretentiousness, more anarcha-tyranny, more morality and despotism and nothing can be genuine or sincere, let alone fun.
Part of me hopes that 2020 really is the darkest hour before the dawn and that 2021 ends up being a case of Clown World going so crazy it loops back around on itself, but I know better than to expect that.
Nothing good ever happens anymore and it's all downhill from here.
Of course, COVID-19 was the ultimate curveball and who the fuck knows what's gonna happen from here on out and where this is going?

I stop just short of saying this has been the worst year of my life.
In truth it hasn't been, worse things happened to me in 2004 than anything that happened in 2020, but 2020 for me was a year of an ever present dread and anxiety.
What really freaked me out the most wasn't the situation with the virus, although that was bad enough, it was the George Floyd riots, that's when I truly felt something in me "snap" to some degree and it was incredibly frightening, you just didn't know how far that was gonna go.
It's been fucking awful and I pray that things will get better.

I try not to doompost in general, but 2020 was the year that made me realize Josh was right. The US is absolutely fucked and I need to get out as soon as I can.

Get out to where?
In short, some place that's not on a suicidal path. One of the Asian countries or eastern (really, middle) Europe. I know which ones specifically, but I'm trying not to derail this thread with political debate. This isn't the thread for it. As much as we make fun of Europe in general, I believe they're going to be doing considerably better than the US in the next 20-30 years or so.
2020 was probably one of the most lonely years of my life for me. Being unable to see my friends was particularly difficult and ties have severed with some of them due to lockdown measures and other factors. It almost feels like I'm back in high school where I was an outcast and had no friends. I'm expecting more people to get depressed and unfortunately commit suicide because they just can't bear this. Humans as a whole are social animals, we cannot be away from each other for such long periods.

2020 made me realize just how fucking inept and corrupt our government really is. Between both Corona-Chan and the Elections being such massive shitshows, it's like everyone is against the people and their interests.
Other than that, I had to put the dating scene on hold in 2020 because fuck masks... fuck them hard. I hate wearing them.

I understand, but I just see this as Clown World and you may as well just go live in rural USA, Canada, or Mexico and check out as much as possible. I understand the sentiment and have given it some thought as well, which is partially why I've come to conclusion the world is a fuck at the moment.
edit: These are just my general thoughts, not what I think you should do specifically

That's fine and I can understand that perspective. I'm looking at it more from a children/lineage perspective. If I'm going to have kids, I want them to be brought up in a place that minimizes their chances of getting tangled up in what the US is becoming. More generally, I want them to grow up in a place that's getting better, not getting worse.

my country is already permafucked and i am a shut in that works from home, 2020 was pretty much the same as 2019
As awful as this year was, I can't really say it was all bad.
I was able to get full time and have been working on a lot of my personal issues, and I definitely feel I came out of this year stronger and more confident than I have previously.
I guess the phrase "Hard Times Create Strong Men" is true to an extent.
It helps that I live in a part of the US that isn't really pro-lockdown like California or New York is, and I've still been able to visit my family and interact with people.
I hate having to wear masks and I hate being constantly reminded of what's going on wherever I go, but at some point, you have to realize that some things are just out of your control and that you got to appreciate what you have. There's only so much you can do after all.
To everyone here who lives in places that are really hit hard by all this, I hope everything turns out alright for you. Don't give up hope.

Eh, not so bad to me personally. I've had a year in my life, when I've lost my job due to company shutting down, then realized that I won't be able to find anything similar in the shithole I live in, then had fun getting rejections from the shittiest jobs possible and if that wasn't enough my mother was in a dire need of a pacemaker. Luckily, things are much better now, even though 2020 was a complete shitshow globally, but still I don't have high hopes for 2021.

I thought it was a pretty nice year. Corona has been great. It made classes go offline, so I was able to put even less effort into lecturing than I've ever done before. I started consulting (scamming retarded companies) on the side which has allowed my salary to pretty much eclipse all my wage cuck peers from high school and undergrad. I also made a ton off options after the market crashed during the beggining of the virus. I got married and it was before Corona, so the only huge negative of the "pandemic" was avoided.
The election has caused lots of juicy drama and while I preferred Trump due to all the seethe he produces from the left, making fun of my rightoid friends was a breath of fresh air. I was getting a bit bored having to constantly shit on my leftoid friends for the past four years.
The only time I ever wear a mask is when I'm inside of stores, which is fairly rare. If you can't meet up with friends, you're a pathetic loser that has no friends. It's really not hard to be social during these lockdowns. I honestly don't see how any respectable person didn't enjoy this year.

Sans the fact that a good portion of people got horribly fucked over because of shitty government incompetence?
The main good thing I can say about this year is the lockdowns forced me to reconsider spending patterns that I realized were wasteful and unnecessary. That meant I could save more money towards the Permabunker on land I already owned in a remote part of California. I hope to start building in February. By the summer of 2021 I should be on my way to being somewhat self-sufficient, which is good because by then the world will be well into a graveyard spiral.
People in cities who can't grow/raise their own food will finally see how fucked they are, when the soaring food costs of this year soar even more, and there are literal food riots all over the globe. Presidents Biden and Harris will likely make the situation far worse with their space communism bullshit. I feel for the single moms with 3 kids and no fathers, they may be eating their own kids by fall.
2020 sucked donkey balls; 2021 will be far worse, and we're only getting started. I hope most of y'all have plans to survive. Venezuela here we come, and it won't be limited to the US. Leaving the country is not a fix; we have plenty of remote land here, grab some and become self-sufficient before electricity is limited to 2 hours a day and people are eating their dogs-and kids.

What people got fucked lol?
Worst year of my life. Spent it holding my breath constantly while the people I know and love devolve around me into terrified maniacs who have sold my country down the river for peace of mind. Feels like I haven't been able to scream in months.
I'll take my Biblical Apocalypse now.

Biden admin will the the Death of Shitposting. The EU, especially France/Germany, as well as a few foreign shitholes have been bitching at the US for YEARS over not censoring the World Wide Web. Even in China its very easy to evade censorship policies. Whether it be copyright laws in Germany, hate speech laws in France, blasphemy laws in Bahrain or anti-protest laws in Turkey, the governments of these governments have been powerless thanks to the United States' global control of the internet. Once the US starts cracking down, we're all fucked.
With Biden/Harris, I predict we'll see the entire 'alternative' unsanitized internet go the way of 8chan and TDS. It may take a few years, but Cloudflare etc. will be forced to bow down. Long-game could be the recent IMF social credit proposal based on your current history.
