What might we have done in the early days to generate a more vigorous immune response had we known what was coming?
One thought might have been to call politicians and companies and make sure they understand in no uncertain terms our opposition to this kind of nonsense. Make fun of it sure, but doing so while providing clear, concise breakdowns of what's wrong with the arguments would be another good point.
that old communist bulletin from the 40s makes its rounds every once in a while about mislabeling opponents as NAZIs and bigots, but what if a similar bulletin had made the rounds at the same time among their opponents, warning them exactly how they would try to discredit them?
We should make a list of probably strategies that these parasites will use and suggest effective countermeasures based on our own experiences in gamergate, etc. and pass them onto our Japanese friends through whatever channels we might have.
Don't get me wrong, I like the momentum that's building. But I don't understand people who think anything has changed. Specifically in regard to feminism, schools are still overwhelmingly feminine (up to and including college), the church is still overwhelmingly feminine, no-fault divorce still exists, family court is still a weapon against men.
I don't think a few sternly worded letters has anyone running for new feeding grounds.
I think it's possible we're in the very early stages of things changing, but there's a million things that can go wrong and derail it. I suspect shutting down USAID and other dark money money spigots is going to positive knock on effects that we can't necessarily foresee right now.
I suspect we're seeing multiple domino effects. conservative-leaning voters have lost their taste for war over the last twenty years, black americans have been promised the sun, the moon, and the stars on a silver platter in democrat-controlled cities for decades, only to be repeatedly delivered a pile of shit on a paper plate while said democrats are mystified why they aren't more grateful, game companies accepted ESG funds to stay afloat, only to watch their bottom lines drop faster than the titanic, Disney gobbled up every IP they could get their hands on, only to have each of them blow up in their faces when fans turned against their products, the 'moderate' democrats have courted the far left to be their shock troops, only to ignore them once they gained power so many times it's actually splintering what support they still hold, USAID was demolished by musk as you said, the trans issue roared ahead with no consideration for the toes it rolled over, the exclusionary nature of leftwing "inclusion" finally reached a boiling point, the family courts abuse of men, and those are just the issues I can think of off the top of my head. i'm sure there's others that none of us are aware of or at least haven't considered making for an avalanche that's going to roll over these people if they can't get their shit together or figure out they aren't as smart as they think they are.
My thoughts exactly.
oh the fight is far from over, but the tide is turning. we're actually winning some major battles, from the election to the fact they can't just handwave the criticism of AC Shadows off as racism to, hell, the fact that retard isn't a verboten word anymore.
We've still got a long way to go, but there's actual pushback now...
