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.
