We really do live in a fake society. It's been hollowed out and replaced ship of Theseus style so that nearly none of the original parts remain, but it still has the same name.

Gamergate was one moment that revealed that quite a bit. The tactics that the media uses especially. It wasn't until I read and understood that the exact same things were happening in the Weimar republic that things began to fall into place.

In a sense that "Gamergate is creating nazis!!!" is somewhat true. At least in so far as it caused people to learn the truth about previous historical narratives. The defeat of the National Socialists was used as a foundation to create a new society. So any event which would cause people to question that founding is a heretic, even if it's as innocuous as people who want games journalists to stop lying.
