Increasingly, critical theories resemble rigid ideologies that have jumped the rails, and whose main contribution to society is moral outrage, all the time. Often the very fact some people are outraged is considered evidence that the target is “problematic.” This argument is a strange tautology, a kind of Mobius loop of aggressive morality. “I’m offended by orcs because they are racist.” Well, how can you be sure they are racist? “They are racist because people find them offensive.”

Such a tidy description of the regressive moralizers we're neck deep with these days. Literally, their one and only contribution to society is moral outrage.

So far as I'm aware: sort of.

They're concerned about surveillance and protester tracking, among other things that naturally go with the sort of situations we're seeing. But I haven't seen anything that sets them as full-out "cucked/woke."

You're right though, they do seem low key in recent months or even years. That or they're just drowned out by all the other noise in the world.

We can't say that Twitch hasn't been consistent of late. I'm betting it's deer ladies all the way down over there these days.

Me too. I haven't even poked my head around there to know how things are going. Shame though, it was a fun game while it lasted.

Oh yeah, that's why I'm trying to keep up on where they have infiltrated. I'm also wondering what impact Trump's recent EO will have on them and their plans in the Western market.

I hadn't realized that. Interesting ...

Honestly, I'm surprised he didn't kill her too. But the property management company mentioned that the building had "extensive security" and if he really was a pro, he'd undoubtedly thought of various scenarios and downsides, and how he should react, long before she ever stumbled into the scene.

Awesome! Hope to see it soon!

Yeah, a few years back they did a live action Archie something-or-other on CW that changed the entire band into blacks instead.

Please tell me someone told her this.

Everyone must reject the white supremacist worldview of reliability and loyalty, preferring recklessness and seditious duplicity. That's what they're telling us should be the case, anyhow. Because black and brown people don't like reliability and loyalty like evil white people do.

Sorry, I should've realized that wasn't going to work. Here you go:

I think the Progressives realized it was a really bad idea to get interviewed by Tucker, and that stopped.

A pair of comic industry vets bring up names and scenarios familiar to GGers during a discussion of their own revelations about the existence of the "Whisper" network that lurks inside their territory (and clearly far beyond as we know).

Apparently the pregnant woman and her husband were arrested for felony assault?

Racist insurance scammers, apparently.

If I'm not mistaken, all of the half dozen or so people killed there (that we know about so far) were black. All of them.

During its popular infancy, we were certain it would be governments that would kill the Internet. Remember Barlow's A Declaration of the Independence of Cyberspace? That's the sort of lofty hubris we embraced for it.

But it's not really normies and corporations killing it now, much as it might seem. And Barlow wasn't so far off in his threat estimation either. After all, it's authoritarian statists who are behind the Internet's twisting, and they're doing it for a literal ploy at world domination. What a bunch of catiffs!

Barlow's declaration, looking back at it now, reads as grossly naive. At least it looks that way across the smoldering cultural war zone that the Internet, hell the whole world, has become. We knew something terrible was probably coming, even back then, but having the US President fighting for the good guys is not part of what most imagined, I'm pretty sure.
