It was already stated that Willem Engel would be thrown off Twitter recorded in the Cancellation calendar of 2022. Or rather, the open-ended prediction that a “famous person would be thrown off a social medium.” As well as the prognosis that a fuss would arise about a government campaign with a rapper; it came out when many a twitterer climbed into the pen earlier this month because rapper Boef had been paid 20,000 euros from the RIVM for an information campaign about the corona virus. The rapper, who turned against the corona policy after the campaign, returned the money.
In the National Discussion and Dispute Calendar, Marcel Steeman (State member for D66 in North Holland) has been listing for seven years what will occupy our country in the coming year. The Excel sheet contains predictions for the future about fuss, hassle, discussion and indignation.
Are biggest, most famous prediction he did in 2015, when he attributed the victory to Trump a year before the US presidential election. But the third world war that the new president should have started according to the calendar never happened.
When asked if he has a glass ball, Steeman answers on the phone: “There is certainly a glass ball, a glass ball of red wine.” Already halfway through the year he starts an Excel sheet in which he makes up the fuss, discussions and outrage about holidays, events and events. He fills in the gaps that remain during his vacation in December, with a few glasses of wine.
Lucky guessing nonsense
The Cancellation Calendar is actually a sometimes luckily gambled bunch of nonsense, but with a kernel of predictable truth. Because in the meantime, the Zwarte Piet discussion has a permanent place in November, just like the group of ophthalmologists who are calling on the government for a fireworks ban.
It’s no surprise that a canceled celebrity can come and complain at primetime that he can’t say anything anymore. Thus explained Maurice de Hond last week on NPO radio 1 that he had been cancelled, three months earlier than Steemans predicted that a Dutch celebrity would do this. “Speedrunning the whole #fucal calendar again in January,” he tweeted about his fortune telling. “You just know it’s going to happen again in a few months,” he says.
The calendar celebrates the predictability of public outcry. So there is no room for anomalies. For example, in 2019 it was unforeseeable that a worldwide virus would make a visit to discount paradise Action impossible. But Steeman has his own way of influencing the course of history: “This year I invented the word ‘revolving door pandemic’ myself.”
He now has that word on the 2022 calendar as the word of the year. „I have an editor of the Noordhollands Dagblad asked to use that word.” He now hopes it will become a self-fulfilling prophecy.
The secret of his predictions is to never be too specific. With sports predictions he is, but traditionally he has always been wrong.
The rather specific statement that Henk Krol will break with vowels for good this year and continue as ‘Hnk Krl’ seems unlikely for the time being.
