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?
The people at places like Vox said that GG led to the 6th. In a way it's correct but it's only part of a small microcosm. In reality GG was just gamers waking up to the fact that games journalism had been lying to them for a while and they rebelled against the system. This happened in parallel with not just games, but media, tech, politics, and everyone began to "wake up" to all the big journo types that fed us absolute bullshit and large enough portion of the population said enough. This at least culminated in the election of Donal Trump in the US. This went against the narrative, but big media and big tech doubled down on their bullshit for 4 years and everything got more woke and brave. They're trying to finally capitalize on it now after 10 months of the coof lockdown and an election that looks iffy to most of the country. Only thing is this has left people poor and somewhat desperate. The 6th showed one thing, that the politicians in power are scared and now they're striking back hard, which will make people even more angry and desperate. 2021 is gonna be a wild ride. To be cheesy and quote the Old Republic:
"While you rested in your cradle of power, believing your people were safe... and protected. You were trusted to lead the Republic. You assumed no force could challenge you...and now...finally...we have returned"
