Just seen the chat on the news. They're literally conducting war through the medium of emojis.

 

Reddit post I saw concerning this, which feels like it could be onto something...

 

Weird. Another leak from inside the administration that just happens to involve JD Vance breaking ranks with the president while saying markedly more sane things in a performative way while also demonstrating his conservative bonafides. Almost like his handler Peter Thiel is trying to sanewash his protege via proxy the same way he took down Gawker.

You all need to check out! Flipping Trump and Musk get more airtime on here than NUFC  

 

Rich powerful men being Cunts has gone on since the beginning of time. You all waste so much time discussing crap you have no control over and making yourselves angry, sick, anxious etc.

 

Stop living in Echo chambers and following all these social bloggers.

 

We all have expiry dates that can go off anytime and I very much doubt when you pass through the pearly gates you will wish you had more time to talk about Trump.

 

Right some poetry, learn a language, by a techno deck and relive your youth or even join my new Crypto group at www. CT’sCryptoBros. co.uk.

 

Stop being Fannie’s and make the most of what time you have left!!!

This sort of poetry is clearly wrong tbh.

One of the cunts in the group was in Moscow, very likely still in the Kremlin after meeting Putin, while taking part in this chat - on signal which is not secure 🤣

 

It's like rounding up the thickest cunts you know and saying "go on then, run the country".

These people are gonna get hacked and there will be some huge scandals off the back of it. They're creepy cunts that are likely up to no good in their private lives too, and if they're this lax with military secrets, all sorts will get found out.

Europe spent 50 bllion supporting the yanks in Afghanistan. 

 

 

[Gemmill 50814]

These people will all get what's coming to them. This is going to be the most shambolic US administration of all time, and these fucking dweebs are actively making America weaker in every imaginable way, whilst strutting around like the big lads. This is a huge embarrassment for them, and behind all the bluster, they'll know it.

Does anyone think the way Trump and his cunt cronies have gone about things could be a turning point?  I.e they see the way its having a negative impact on the US economy and think twice?

There’s this school of thought about that…

I think the project 2025 horrors have their own agenda. And so does Musk. And so does Peter Thiel/Vance… so with all these competing agendas he’s very likely going to get what the folk in the link say he wants 😑

I've long attached gamergate to modern culture war as the original flashpoint, but it dawns on me now that this was also most likely a Russian Psyop/the start of all this on their end too? It involved a lot of the people who at least eventually became funded through the right wing back channels on social media. Cadwalladr mentions 2014 being the start of the information war because of Crimea, but Gamergate was the same year and it literally did lay the foundations online for all of this.

 

Nice to see CNN catching up there 11 years after the fact. Think I was onto that analysis around the first time Trump was elected...

Yep. 2014 changed a lot of things…this is another individual with a hideous agenda..

I've never even heard of Gamergate. And I play video games (not online though, as getting headshot from some nerd in South Korea for the 15th time is no fun). 

[Gemmill 50814]

I've heard of it, but I still don't know what it was all about. 

[ewerk 33510]

It's what turned Graham Linehan into a dribbling idiot.

Right, so the easiest way to explain it from the mainstream point of view, is that it was a large group of male gamers attacking a female developer/other women out of misogyny. The media sticks to this line but it really doesn't do it justice. The gamergate group at the time claimed that it was about ethics in video games journalism and a protest against mass collusion of media outlets. It wasn't that - I mean that's a legitimate point even now, but that's not what this was about. The gamergaters explain their position per the following video - please note it's written for adolescent gamers and you may find the delivery annoying, but in terms of setting out the actual sequencing of events, it covers everything and explains how it became the culture war - be warned, you'll be amazed at how petty and insignificant the whole thing feels, at least from its origins:

 

 

The short version is - a guy and a girl who were prominent in the gaming community broke up. The girl cheated on the guy. He wrote a blog post about how awful she was. A section of the gaming community said some mean things about her. She complained to gaming journalists/media people she was friends with - they all came together/colluded to attack the wider gaming community for being incels/misogynists. The wider gaming community lost its shit about being called out like that and the notion of "SJW" was defined for the first time and an organised resistance to it was created. This became a months long pitched battle that consumed a large percentage of gamers in some form or another, and as we now know, the anti-SJW side won. Because it's their ongoing narrative that now shapes the culture war even outside the online space. The whole pushback against wokeism is the same exact phenomenon, and has its roots in gamergate.

 

Youtube became the key battleground and it's where lots of prominent content creators were set up to discuss these anti-feminists/anti-SJW talking points. Sargon of Akkad was a key one, he's still going and now runs a private media channel that supports Reform. Jordan Peterson could not have become prominent without this, in fact the movement adopted him more than he adopted it. The whole community leaned into and supported people like Joe Rogan, so he became aligned with those values. Shapiro is another one, but there were plenty of them. Not all of them still exist but they were the guys who did the original work laying the foundations for people like Andrew Tate. It's also why they dominate social media, because they've been doing this for 11 years now.

 

Gamergate was the first battle we lost, and we lost it because when the real media picked it up, they went with the 'all gamers are incels' line and alienated a lot of people immediately. It never really stopped after that point, it just morphed into other things. The Alt Right came from it. MAGA. I think it probably even did enough to tip Brexit tbh (all the talking heads it spawned were anti-EU, all getting millions of views).

 

I know it's stupid and ridiculous given what it was about, but... butterflies and hurricanes.
