I tried posting this to KiA, but I never realized how many KiA Prime people are blue pilled thinking things will go back to normal after this.
Seeing how most of you here are far more aware of what's going on, I'm going to copy pasta what I posted on Prime before the dumb mods deleted it since most of you aren't rabid TDers but also understand the "bigger picture":
My original post below.
So all the things we warned about 6 years ago has more or less come to fruition, and the safeguards and actions we took to keep it from getting worse has more or less been removed or neutralized to allow unethical behavior, blatant biased news that denigrates gamers and other arbitrary groups is now everywhere. Every gaming urinalist and game development outlet has an Anita Sarkeesian type or 10 working for them. Reddit went from a place where disparate ideologies could bicker with each other to a site where small pockets of "The resistance" (moderates, conservatives) are allowed to stay quarantined in certain areas but the ideological moderation is rampant in other subs.
Youtube, Twitter, etc., the stuff the normies consume that aren't alt-tech have now openly abused Section 230 in open defiance of the current administration. The mask has come off, and we've run out of options at this point at any possible way to enforce full on freedom of expression and speech under the law.
Where do we go from here?
We have alt-tech, but as many of you have realized, alt-tech popularity undermined by the mainstream outlets that try to demonize them. We now have a giant ideological chasm between us moderate lefties and right wingers and the establishment "liberals". It's unrepairable, so where do we go from here?
All the things you "consoom" has been tainted by this stuff. You can only resort to removing yourself from that pool so much until it comes to a point where you are essentially isolating yourself from society, so where do we go from here? If everything has SocJus, if everything has TOSes that violate freedom of expression, then what is left to turn to?
What is practical that we can do tomorrow while continuing our everyday lives on this bucket of a planet we call Earth?
Yeah, I was on the Trump train. It looked like our best shot at it, but it derailed, badly.
The only thing however is that the seed and ideology of right-populism has spread itself to the people. Not to the people in power, but the people themselves now have learned what the tenets of a populist-nationalist ideology are.
While I get that hunkering down and escaping is one way to look at it, take a look at the discussions I had with u/truenationalist and u/lgbtqwtfbbq in your own thread. The genie of right-populism has been let out oftthe bottle. I wonder if those folks who had their voices silenced after the Capitol Hill debacle are going go off into the night, or if things are only going to get worse.
The Uk "Conservatives" somehow got Brexit through even though they're a bunch of bumbling globalists and boomers.
I think the problem is right-populist "awakened" conservatives are too busy living out their lives to participate in any sort of collectivized movement. The MAGA movement was the best shot. It's the libertarian problem, herding cats - everyone is too individualist and freedom-loving to turn into a collective group.
They may be forced to as the left consolidates power. If so, then the left will get the enemy they pretend they are fighting.
