I was catching up on the latest happenings regarding the SBI think, and I had a thought as I was watching a Yellow Flash video about that non-profit defending SBI with a Homeland Security grant.
If you can recall, I have said several times before that the D.C. bureaucrats really do believe the bullshit they spout when they talk about "extremism." OK, I can hear you asking, how does that apply here?
Well, Official D.C. has settled onto the belief that gaming fosters "extremism," and that gaming developers need resources to counter this "threat."
In short, Official D.C. doesn't view a gamer as much different than a Trump supporter.
I think that a lot of commentators covering the SBI thing on our side are cynically rolling their eyes over the way government is getting involved with this, and are not taking the threat represented by such involvement seriously. If government gets involved with this, as it increasingly looks like it will, well, GG won't be just a cultural movement in gaming any more.
If you want to know what it looks like when Government goes after "extremists," look at what is going on with Trump, and more importantly, what Official D.C. is doing to Trump's former staff. Going after law licenses via Bar complaints for nothing more than daring to represent Trump in court, and throwing not a few of them into jail on process crimes.
I mean they can learn one of the reasons the Christian right lost their influence in modern times if they try, go ahead mess with something that has over 50 years of ingrained culture into it.
And it'll shutter EVERY western studio which actually promotes THEIR message since most of them are headquartered in America, especially California. The East won't care and continue on as normal while even Europe is falling too fast that they can't even bother to try that.
I can see them trying because of how desperate they are, it's Trump vs Biden round 2 and even the plantation side hates Biden, but it'll fail as the average person is now so jaded that they're more likely to tell the government to fuck off than comply, targeting their escapism is not a winning strategy right now when it's the only thing ACTUALLY distracting people..
Want to know the most ironic thing about it all? If Gamergate never happened as in they just left the entertainment alone at least for gaming and never tried to inject politics into it, they'd probably be in MORE control of the world then they could have ever dreamed of.
We'd all be distracted in our escapism to care the world was sinking more into shit, fine with working soul crushing jobs so long as we could escape into a few hours into a fantasy we had control over.
Ever since they fucked with games, their control has been slipping and it's funny they constantly double down than try to save face and stop any further damage.
Bread. Circuses.
Don't fuck with bread, or circuses. We've known that since Roman times.
Inflation and weird shortages messing with bread, eat the bugs movements messing with bread. GG-related issues highlighting messing with circuses.
They have two jobs, but both are just "don't fuck around with it".
The thing these people want is for people to rely on them for providing the bread and the circuses
It’s an ego thing more than anything. These people want power and they want you to know the power they have over you
Partially, yes, but it's more a systematic and generational control thing.
They need a compliant serf caste. The idea is to use the distribution of bread to make people reliant on government, and use the propaganda-filled circuses to keep people brainwashed.
People old enough to remember the better times may not buy into the bread and circus paradigm being rolled out by the leaders of Western nations, but the next generation(s) will grow up under these conditions and will be much more subservient.
That's impossible for someone with the government stooge mindset. You could set them in front of a desk with a PC that had access to all the world's entertainment and a red button labelled FUCKING TOUCH THIS AND DIE, and in 10 minutes, the button would be pressed.
Gamers are consumers and consumers have rights.
If people can boycott a bakery or fast food restaurant due to their views on the sexual activity of consenting adults then gamers can highlight the collective works of a developer and allow others to make purchasing decisions based upon whether they like it or not.
There is no illegal activity here and there is element of any laws being broken.
To deny people the right to collectivise and chose their right to purchase en masse is to deny black owned businesses the right to have customers who chose them based on the fact they are a black owned business.
As a customer you have rights and if businesses don't like that they can go under or adapt.
Free market, and it goes for all businesses and consumers.
No illegal activity? Do you think we're a nation of laws?
What were the main reasons for that? Is it because the government was influencing censorship of social media?
correct the record, the twitter files, operation mockingbird.
tht shit never stopped, and it won't just go away.
I asked because i'm kind of hoping twitter will be a more open platform for this discussion now. The media will still gaslight us but some of the normies will see what's going on and get red pilled.
It already wasn't. See the 2016 election.

I knew some of the game makers in indie groups. They were 5-10 members big and making cool stuff. Then they disappeared to reappear with a publisher and lots of media coverage. It really looks like any publicity or investment is based on SBI approval. There is no alternative to this.
The entire indie scene is more compromised and "success" isn't what we think it is. This is really sad, because the teams just wanted to be noticed and maybe get some investment. It's about as real as the Oscars.
Which game?
I've been playing a demo for a game called Maniac that's like that. One guy taking GTA/2/London, Twisted Metal and Postal and making a damn good game.
All roads lead back to government. Almost as if the men with guns call the shots and not LE CORPORASHUNS.
Even if they do declare me an extremist because I play non-woke video games, just like how they probably think of me as an extremist because I don't support woke shit in any capacity, the end result is going to be the same. I'm simply going to ignore anything they say. I will continue doing my thing and resisting what I see as clear and obvious moral corruption in society, and most likely, nothing is going to happen to me since I'm such small fry to them that I'm not even on their radar. And if for some insane reason, our society and government becomes so fucked up that they start sending the FBI to bust down the doors of people who play anime tiddy games, then I will happily exercise my 2nd amendment rights to defend myself against threats to myself or my family.
