"How did it come to this?"
As was once said by King Theoden. I remember seeing those movies when I was a kid,17 or 18 I think. A simpler time, I loved going to movies. My pops would take my brothers and I almost every time my mother and sister were on the warpath from Aunt Flo visiting. Kek, can't even make that joke anymore. I sit here and think of simpler times and how much I fucked up.
When gamergate first started I didn't give a shit. Like "who fucking cares about some girl getting her ass censored?", I said freshly out of college (well plus a year moving back in with my parent from the collapse and Obama). Little did I know how slowly it starts.
I used to laugh at my dad despite him probably being my best friend, mentor, and guide now. He would bring up Hannity or Bill O'Reilly talking about the culture war. Even my mother back in the 90s warned me how the gay agenda was a real thing and once the slippery slope starts you can't stop it. Laughed at her too.
I'm 35 now. Got my daughters from their Baptist school since that's where we decided to send them during the Sweet and Sour Sickness. My wife, the most oblivious person in the world (with such great blonde classics as "its so sad that Ray Charles died before he got to see his movie"), even is saying "hey, these people are fucking lying" at the news.
In the past 10 years I don't think I have changed much. But a few months ago I saw a post from a friend of a friend saying "(username) is a fucking fash, i wish he would have died back when he was sick". This hit me for some reason even though I haven't spoken to said person in 5 years. Wasn't even close to begin with. At times I want to go all "SIR" on them. "You guys wanna see a fascist, I'll show you a fucking fascist".
That last part wasn't a joke. I don't trust anything I read anymore. I'm scared for my daughter's future. My wife's future. I can take care of myself, that has never been a problem, but when you have a family it just complicates things. I see this dystopian nightmare unfolding right before my eyes with the passport and the news lying to us constantly to get what they want. I feel lost. This is accelerating at such a pace with the news changing their opinions on the fly with the rona even average dumbasses see it. Like the hockey stick graph, where it spikes so large you can't ignore it. Still, the majority are swayed by fear.
Of course it all comes back to the culture war. I feel it's lost. Between the election upset and the rona it was the perfect storm for the communist left to go wild. Trannies teaching our children. Trannies and fags in their cartoons. Equity above all else. If you see something, say something.
I digress. This is why I don't like KiA1. This is so much more than just video games. Their sole focus on that will be their downfall. You know how "the political is personal" changed into "the personal is political" by the prog left? Your ENTIRE BEING is political to them. Everything you think, say, do, buy, support.
The fact that you all are here and the other dot win communities gives me hope. At least I feel like I'm not the only looking at his zombie friends, rehearsing talking points and consooming Fortnite, screaming "DO YOU NOT SEE SOMETHING IS WRONG?".
Trump would not have saved us, nor will Biden doom us.
In the end, it matters little who is in office. What we have to do is shape the culture.
Trump in power does slow them down.
There is a difference between the two.
Biden has accelerated the left's agenda drastically in just three months.
Exactly. Trump was inevitable. A stop gap measure. Whether him or somebody else would have showed up to voice the people's anger. Only thing is that's a force of nature, a response, like Godzilla. You don't get mad at Godzilla and Trump the same way you don't get mad at the hurricane or the earthquake. All it did was slow the left down.
"Don't get angry at Godzilla. Get angry at that which made Godzilla appear."
I don't like acceleration accelerationism, because there are things to do and people to save before this all comes down. Six months longer before the collapse is six months to save up hard money, to get more farmland, to raise your children in some degree of comfort before the hard times. We shouldn't accept slowing the process as ideal, but neither should we want to hasten the collapse of the building which were trying to evacuate.
I think Trump clearly disproved that. They would never have had to fight him so hard if he wouldn't have had an effect. I used to believe that the president didn't have any real effect on the economy, but now I see that that is just utter nonsense.
Trump wouldn't have saved us from anything, but it would have shit all over the plans to implement a digital currency. Without Trump, what's going to happen is that the violent over-reaction by authoritarians is going to be far more severe.
If Trump were in office, where would be a collapse and we would recover, but many institutions would be mauled or die. Without Trump there will be a collapse, there will be tyranny, and a lot of innocent people are going to be killed... but, the end result is actually still the same: we will be victorious. There will just be more fires to put out when we win.
Before Trump, I wanted Trump.
I'm ready to vote for someone much more serious now.
Someone more genuinely right-wing would be nice, but I don't think the establishment is weak enough to allow that. Further progress in the states is nice, though.
It's more that he followed business principles, and actually tried to follow through on his promises, because he wasn't actually owned by interests. They've spent half a decade trying to find dirt on him, and he's cleaner than they could have ever expected.
But that's actually my point. It's not that the president doesn't have an impact on economics. It's that that's the only amount of impact that a the president was being allowed to make. Minimal changes that everyone else had to wait 10 years for while Investment banks wouldn't have to wait 30 seconds.
Trump being in office and running his mouth on Twitter triggered the complete destruction of the unified overton window. For everything he failed to do, he was still the greatest president we've had in, what, a century? That's not nothing.
Trump would have successfully reformed the Republican image.
To millennials, Republicans are Bush. Warmongering globalist morons who hate abortion and take money from the NRA. To millennials, the GOP was responsible for 2008 (even when really it was Greenspan).
Pretty sure he did, too bad a good number of politicians in the gop still resent him doing to reforming.
Walkaway and the demofascists becoming openly an not really hyperbolically fascist cut their numbers of real voters hard.
I think the max real votes the dementia patient got was under 55 million, whereas Trump might have reached the absurd 85+ million if not for dominion.
Partially.
Reelection would have completed it.
Also think about all the wealth that was further consolidated into the hands of a select few.
I don't like to punish economic success, but few Billionaires reach their level of wealth without at least some degree of government cronyism.
And more than a few of those same people are pushing for mandates of misery on the general populace, and are doing worrying things with their wealth, like buying up prime farm land.
Bezos is the prime example. His Washington Post pushed for lockdowns hard, and lo and behold, Amazon made record profits last year. Doesnt take a genius to see the correlation there.
99.8%.
all because the fucking chicoms have driven their country into the ground.
