Nah. Seems more like outlets trying to paint it that way so they can have an easy dunk on "racist incel gamers" and fold it into another excuse why shit like forspoken doesn't sell well. It's still fun to see people spit on DEI/ESG shit but the energy isn't there.

Their enemies aren't "the right" either, of course. that's a whole narrative that has been superimposed onto what is basically a disagreement in taste and consumer choices, and a difference in temperament between people who like a masculine social environment, and people who don't. People who want more arbitrary rules, and people who want to be left alone. That's all it is.

>>145029The whole political spectrum is a hyperreality at this point. People react to signals. They don't know what they actually believe, or support
The modern right is not seriously religious, traditionalist, or elitist, and the modern left barely gives a shit about class issues or actually pushing back on capitalism. They're just wearing the costumes of something that meant something at some point.
The only real fundamental disagreement taking place seems to be over how much we should punish white men for existing. That's what everything loops back to.

>it never seems to lead to any kind of solution.I think the solution would be we untangle this whole mess of a discourse we have fallen into and try to understand what the fuck anyone is actually talking about anymore.
Moldbug was also right. We need to identify power and name it. It's no good arguing over elected figureheads and political teams, when that has almost no influence on who makes the actual decisions, and what causes social change.
What would you have us do? Just bitch about "the left" on the internet some more? I don't even know if I am a leftist, once we untangle the ungodly mess of what that term even means. I mean, I don't particularly believe in the divine right of kings, or think the pope should be able to tell me what to do. I don't necessarily believe the rich should just be allowed to endlessly get richer, because money is power, and power always needs to be checked, and can't be allowed to run away with itself. The people at the top need to be accountable.

Part of the big scam we're inundated with from childhood is the idea that the form of governance we currently have is in any way democratic. And since we all know kings suck, gee whiz we better settle for
this crap because what else is there? And then when people see this crap spectacularly they're left to conclude that democracy doesn't work, so we might as well throw our hands in the air and turn to some dictatorship to solve our problems. Well the truth is that it's not democratic and never was. If you showed our system to an ancient Athenian they would give you very confused looks, questioning why you're trying to persuade them that electing a small group of people from a small stratum of society so they can make all the decisions for you is anything resembling rule by the people. I think it's about time we stop lying to ourselves that elections are anything but oligarchic in nature and try some Actual Fucking Democracy for once.

You don't know anything. Journalists were always the enemy. In 2014 they were constantly attacked. Literally the only journalist that toyed with GG was Milo and he was a fraud.
It's the same shit this time only that a few things changed. Boycotting is way more effective this time because EVERYONE knows AAA is shit. Journalism is even more consolidated by leftists and image boards are dead. It's the same shit, you just have much clearer, harder battlelines and the enemy is now quit obvious. That's why the boycotting is so much more effective this time.

That opinion then is followed by the game company's decision which is in lockstep with the opinion. It's like he's a pre-emptive damage control shill that is given the narrative to then bake into his stream for PR purposes of the company.

By the way you don't have to agree with their politics to understand the difference between them and liberals. People like Chris Hedges, Matt Taibbi, Max Blumenthal, and others… journalists on the left are verboten on mainstream media and are regularly the subject of smears and character assassination when the media deigns them threatening enough to acknowledge their existence (due to journalism). Not saying there aren't some good ones on the right as well, but leftist journalists tend to be very principled as journalists and consequently are unwelcome at mass media outlets where they would be required to peddle propaganda and manufacture consent.
