Multiple stages of self selection made KiA2 on .win a more generalized political forum. It became impossible to talk about wider political topics on half-KiA and difficult due to reddit rules on KiA2 there.
It was sort of inevitable. The deeper you dig the more you find unpalatable truths. Many of those truths are too much for people to stomach, whether that be too much for reddit mods or for genuine GGers.
The split to KiA2 was made when we arrived at the realization that the Left was an enemy through and through. Many default liberals couldn't stomach the blow to their own sense of identity and there was a perpetual push to go "no, they're off the deep end but we're the sane 'classical liberals'".
In r/Kia2 we started to unearth stuff that's straight up taboo to even speak about, the most egregious example being the noticing of prominent jewish influences backing many of the movements infecting both gaming and our societies as a whole. Certainly can't discuss that on reddit, so now we're over here because you get straight up banned for wrongthink over on reddit. We're still butting up against walls here, but at least the bannings are less frequent.
In my mind this is all still just one big journey that still revolves around video games, it's just that we're at the stage where we've figured out the identities of some of the villains and now opposing them has taken center stage. To make a crass analogy, video games are the Shire while western society is the whole of Middle Earth. We set out to protect the one but in our quest we've had to take on the task of defending so much more.
A shitposter is never late, nor is he early. He responds precisely when he means to.
Jokes aside, if you had told me that lurking KiA then KiA2 all those years ago would lead me here, I would have laughed until I couldn't breathe. It has been a real journey.
Agreed, I started 2014 as a center right libertarian. Now I'm here.
The ride never ends.
Still can't believe we just wanted honest video game reviews and ended up discovering a worldwide pedophile occult blackmail ring run by intelligence agencies with interesting genetic makeups by accident.
The "I just wanted to play video games" Pepe is distressingly accurate.
I saw the corruption in other stuff in the culture a long time before video games. Maybe it was just because video games didn't really have room to engage in a lot of cultural manipulation. Or because they basically came from Japan. I was onto the JQ from the political realm before I came to KiA2.win . But I have always had an interest in video games and politics, so this iteration of the forum suits me.
You could say I came from consumeproduct, as a consequence of being on the same platform and as a consequence of consumeproduct itself declining. Making fun of consoomers is funny. The politics of that place gets repetitive. There are more viewpoints here.
It's kinda like how in the beginning of an RPG you're saving a small town. Then by the middle youre fighting kingdoms and at the end it's a god. Video games were our starting town
I've also always considered the sorting process to be the way that they absolve themselves of the sin of going against the narrative. They're in a group that's under attack for being racist/sexist/whatever, which has nothing to do with what the group is about, but if they resist talking about some other more taboo subject that touches on those things and force it out of the group, they can point to the ones they expelled and say, "hey, those were the racists/sexists all along. I'm still one of the good guys."
Though they'll never be the "good guys" because there are no "good guys" according to the narrative. Only bad guys: ones who admit that they're bad guys ones that don't.
We thought we were just gathering some crystals for the good of the planet, but now we're on our way to the moon to fight Zemus.
