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?
Thanks DoM. This is why I asked. I'm not a fan of the "head in the sands" mentality but it really does sound like we need to regroup.
This is why I asked on KiA Prime but all I got were "just do the same things we were always doing", but all that did was just slow down where we're at.
I just had a conversation with a friend of mine on this. He's 25. He hates the Corona lockdowns, but he's absolutely baffled that the people AROUND him are blue pilled and stuck in the matrix. He just released himself from the Matrix. They just repeat MSM talking points and refuse to see the damage the lockdowns has caused. He realized there was no hope for his peers.
So what is he deciding to do? He knows a lot of kids in a video game he plays and he's talking and chilling with them, and also sliding in a little bit of that pro-nationalist rhetoric. He actually thinks much like you - the kids he's hanging with are 10-16 years old, and he figured if he can't save the idiots around him, the ones younger than him could listen, and he's making progress.
That is basically what I'm going for.
