The order "You will own nothing, and you will be happy about it." doesn't just mean physical objects. You cannot own membership to a fandom, either. It will be torn down, destroyed before your very eyes, and made into a horrific flesh-puppet, a cadaverous marionette, dancing about to taunt the very idea you could own some small part of a fandom, even in your own mind.
It's true we need to bring gatekeeping back and chase the woke fandoms away. But there in lies the trouble: How do you gatekeep against the woke, when the possible gatekeeping plans will be anticipated and repelled by an all-seeing, all thinking threat?
Simple. You don't bother with them. THAT's the best way to stop this stupid culture war.
