Since the arrest of Jack Teixeria, I have noticed that the mainstream media not only have an agenda regarding Discord but have looked into his private life and three other things. All the media outlers seem intent on labelling Discord a purely "gaming platform" for "gamers" as opposed to a social messaging and communication platform. I would consider the likes of Steam as a gaming platform, not Discord. Regardless, the mainstream media is already putting pressure internally and externally around Discord.
He is also being labelled as having an obsession with God as well as a fascination with the military and sharing "racist" memes and as we know, these things equal far right in the eyes of the mainstream media. He's also being accused of anti-semitism as well.
CNN changed their headline to remove the word loner but still carry anecdotes such as "a lot of people were wary of him" and "he made me nervous" that attempts to paint Teixeria as a threat to individuals and society because of his loneliness. If anything, to paint him as an involuntary celibate in the eyes of the reader. Another group of people that the mainstream media wants Government to take action against. They also made sure to bring attention around his enthusiasm with guns and linked it with his loneliness.
Regardless of your view of Teixeria, the conclusion of this is that the mainstream media are painting the four groups above as a threat to national security and society which will inevitably lead to knee-jerk, bad and illiberal laws to target said groups but will as history shows, expand beyond that. The current allegations will allow defenders to be maligned as is already happening to Marjorie Taylor-Greene. And it allows the authorities to implement surveillance and censorship of discussion and communication spaces such as Discord. A narrative is being brewed for an agenda because Teixeria fits the mould of whom they see as their outgroup and boogeyman.

Honestly though, everything you've described is a threat to national security. I don't know if people quite understand this but our government, IE. the nation for which "national" security is a concern is extremely anti-white male. Anyone who has any semblance of a desire for individual liberty and excellence is a threat to national security. White men have an innate drive toward these two core values so the white men that feel the oppression within western society often become loners who play video games and have issues with the government. They become national security concerns because they aren't obedient slaves that cause 0 disruptions, which is what the government desires.
You shouldn't act like the government and media are painting a disingenuous narrative because they aren't. They are specifically targeting a group of people that do in fact pose a threat to the government's control of society.
The issue is that most people don't realize how evil their government actually is so they think there's some sort of misconception or deception going on with regards to the government's position. The government isn't getting anything wrong. They know precisely who their enemies are and that's young white men that are dissatisfied with the system. This is highly correlated to video gamers who are loners and feel alienated by their society. This "nation" is in fact the enemy so of course its security interests are going to point to good men as being the threat. A lot of men just haven't woken up to the fact yet that they are in fact the government's enemy. The government doesn't exist to do what's in your interests. It exists to control you in order to promote the government's interests which is opposed to your own.
Very well said.
