I remember years ago when I was still unaware of the majority of what was going on and spent time lurking on "normal" Reddit. I would always see replies to downvoted comments pointing out what subjects people posted on. HalfKIA, was often one of them, and I was curious about what was wrong with the sub.
I checked it out and all I saw was anti-SJ posts and people calling out game journos, nothing hateful or "racist", and it made me start questioning things more and more. I wondered why "Gamergate" had such a bad name, so I started looking in to it.
I started visiting Half often to see what was going on. I didn't fully understand all of the references, but I started to learn, and I started to notice how connected all of the games media sites were. I was fascinated. I soon noticed that there were a lot of posts that were being removed because of rule 3.
I quickly got tired of seeing nothing but 20 Narwitz tweets everyday I logged on, and I saw someone mention KIA2. Naturally I checked it out, and it was so much better.
There was a wider range of topics discussed and I was able to see more of how shit the media was.This place helped me see more of what was wrong with so many industries. It inspired me to create my own stuff, and has given me motivation to start developing my own games, and hopefully bring back some of that pre-woke charm.
It makes me sound like a faggot, but I love this place, and what we have made it become.
Edit: To add to this and answer the question more obviously, we had to go because we counter the narrative and even existing on the site allowed people to find us. If the mods didn’t private us the sub probably would have been banned by now.
When you can’t decide what part of the oppression stack you want to be on so you claim as many as possible
The past 4 years have been an extremely interesting real time look into psychology and how easily minds can be shaped by astroturfing campaigns, propaganda, and social engineering.
These people are proposing war time measures, and are using actual wars to justify it, without even pretending to have any awareness of why that is a problem.
“Trumpism” is not fascist in any way, but people are either convinced that it is, or one of those doing the convincing. In order to stop the “rise of fascism” they advocate for a system that authoritarians would love to have their hands on, and at least some of those advocates wish to be those authorities.
She got re-elected after her gun grabbing nonsense?
New Zealand is lost, if you live there and can leave it might be smart to do so.
There are already people gas lighting about past elections saying that we always accept late ballots and that the election is never called by the 4th.
I’ve never got a straight answer on why we never did anything about the election sooner, or why mail-in ballots didn’t become an issue until a couple of months ago.
The cult has had subversive power for decades, it won’t disappear over night.
I’ve seen various predictions, but I don’t trust any of them to be accurate. You do have to remember that the internet loves to amplify the extremes, and the US isn’t Twitter, Reddit, etc.
I live in the middle of the Southern US, and most people around here are open Trumpers, but the city I go to Uni in is quite a bit more supportive of the left. A lot of my lefty classmates happen to be Bernie supporters though, so turn out for Biden is questionable.
My generally non-political parents are pissed at the Democrats this year and even though they don’t love Trump, they have been “red-pilled” about the media, and there is no telling how many other Americans feel the same way.
I’m not quite seeing the Dems losing by a small enough margin that mail in ballots will change the outcome without looking extremely suspicious, but I could be extremely wrong. That is also assuming that the Dems haven’t gone so far gone that they no longer care about optics at all, which might be giving them too much credit.
If the Dems do manage to win, they will likely double down on making sure Trump never happens again, and will disenfranchise half of the population to get their way. To know what happens afterwards you just have to look at what has happened in the past whenever a similar minded group of individuals have no political say and are getting actively oppressed by a government.
The media has convinced people that Democracy is dying and the fascists are rising to power, so if the Dems lose the violence will increase before it decreases. Cities will burn and people will be killed, and we have to hope it doesn’t leave the cities that allow it.
As November approaches it will get worse, not better.
Soon another "anonymous source" will come up with something about Trump, and they will not bat an eye about it
Thank you for putting all of this in an easy to access form.
We know this is all going to get memory-holed, so it is nice to have it all archived.
I recently got pretty close to getting a woketard to admit that the argument for the abolition of the electoral college opens up support for the disenfranchisement of minority populations.
They accused me of being a racist and blocked me
I might be black-pilled, but I feel like the DA won’t actually press charges
And then they call you a science denier for calling this out
Any vote not counted by the 3rd at midnight should just be thrown out, but then the Dems couldn’t cheat and find more ballots
Get ready for FDR 2:Electric Boogaloo Female Edition.
This is exactly why we have 9 justices to begin with.
Roosevelt didn’t get his way so he forced it
Didn’t the employees try to force a worker co-op.
I would probably do the same thing and get rid of all of the problem employees. If that meant shutting the doors then too bad.
So my guess is that this cycle will continue until the day Trudeau is out of office, and if it even gets an investigation afterwards the media will not report on it and dismiss it as a conspiracy theory.
But any even slightly right wing politician will get reported on 24/7 and eating 2 scoops of ice cream will be a scandal.
They might actually be convinced Trump is going to lose, and are preparing for the transition of power.
Biden is old and demented, and probably can’t even write his name to sign an EO, let alone actually create one.
They want to pack the courts so they have no check for constitutionality, undo everything Trump did good or bad, remove the EC to guarantee Trump doesn’t happen again.
They need Kamala to do that, because even if Biden is cognizant enough to do anything, he isn’t a woman.
We investigated ourselves, and were actually finding something wrong, so we shut down the investigation.
Now we can say that our investigation didn’t find anything
And the response is fairly interesting as well https://web.archive.org/web/20201009023729/https://twitter.com/Scaramucci/status/1314386686718156800
It was okay. Both candidates dodged a lot of questions, but Pence was better at it IMO. He framed a lot of his dodges as reclaiming time from being cut off, and was willing to call out Harris for not answering a couple of questions.
He called her out on the packing the courts question, as well as the Green New Deal, which she still refused to answer.
He had some very weird pivots, but did throw some swings with them, by bringing up Cop-mala’s record and mentioning the CIA documents about the spying on Trump’s campaign.
Harris came off as condescending and unlikable, and spewed off MSM talking points about Trump. She pretty much talked about Trump more than what they were planning to do.
She did say that they were going to repeal Trump’s tax cuts day 1.
We need country wide protections for clear self defense codified in law.
Does this count as foreign interference?
Well at this point if you don’t openly support the narrative, you are on the “wrong” side. Just look at JonTron and his I just want to grill meme.
They then used his poor choice of words from that Destiny debate he was forced into years ago, to continue to call him a racist. The left has a cult-like with us or against mentality worse than I have ever seen from the right.
They are also using Trump’s poll watching comments against him, trying to say that he wants his supporters to go out and crowd the polling stations, when he was obviously referring to actual poll watchers.
The goal right now isn’t to convince the already indoctrinated, but instead to inform those who haven’t been.
Changing the minds of people who are certain that they are correct is hard, but having a sound basis for your opinions is a good way to spread them and get support for them
