TL;DW: This argues from a neo-reactionary perspective that GG was the first instance of a large-scale reveal of the modern Woke Capitalist Total State. It uses the analogy of a German Jew in the early 1930s reading a magazine about cats where over time the content of the magazine becomes less about "cats" and more about "the German cat", and applies that analogy to a games "journalism" which becomes less about "gaming" and more about "social justice in games". He then connects that to the events of Summer 2020 and January 6, where it was necessary for all of "polite" society to correctly signal in favor of "mostly non-violent protests" and against "violent insurrection" respectively.
I don't think there's anything in this video people here don't already know, but it's a nice 10 minute summary that you might be able to use to convince people that you aren't totally batshit crazy when you start talking about "ethics in gaming journalism" being somehow connected to "axe body spray strongly condemning 'violent insurrection' against the government"
