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.
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
