Gamergate was never about ethics in journalism(games reviews being journalism is a whole other thing, but, cmon). It was about being mad because you were undersexed and lonely, and someone offering you a way to channel that desperation into misogyny and a false feeling of control* and community*.

alt right is from waaaaaay longer ago than September. It's all an out growth of "gamer gate" nonsense. Milo and Cernovich were both "gamer gaters." Bannon ran gaming message boards before Breitbart, where he met Milo. He figured out how to use messaging like his to target these people for less savory purposes.

I thought you bugged out, but the bag itself was a bug bag?

Damn, gotta go back and what the old Nat. Geo show about doomsday preppers

Trump lost by 3 million votes. I do not think the term silent majority if accurate.

reactionsim is itself an ideology; it's basically just nihilism.

Yes, voiceless minority groups can be more easily targeted and taken advantage of. I read just yesterday about Somali immigrants being turned anti-vax in a matter of years due to outside influence, this is no different.

This thread is a good reminder that dangerous thinking has infected a not small group of younger computer engineers. Quite frightening.

one thing Wikileaks does is give credibility to their leaks basically by putting their stamp on it that it's all authentic. This dump happened quickly and with no organization oversight - impossible for now to know which is real and which is fake. I was told 4chan put in some obviously fake bank documents, but that the emails seem real. It's something that willl play out for months now.

IMO younger 4channers (18-23 set) that I have met in person strongly identify this way.

It's odd cause 10 years ago 4chan trolled in the exact different direction. Would love to read a book about political reckonings that come from this tiny dark corner of the net.

This is the media simplifying a complicated narrative into something more simple and... well, global. le pen isn't just "something else," she's a strain of nationalism that leads to people committing genocide in the name of country.. and ignoring history when it tells us this.

disaffected young men lacking strong in-person relationships doomed to a life of desperation due to lack of opportunity united online in praise of cartoon frogs and white supremacist fascism.

History books are gonna be weird.

it's all a conspiracy. Grab your bug bag and head for the hills

Probably don't draw conclusions if you don't know its true.

first part; yes; second part; also yes

still waititng for the media to turn on them ala uber. they do shitty stuff

You're discussing the government force relocating poor people. Think about that...

Orlando... really...?

for brochure websites, yes, For large projects, hell no.

this is extremely wrong. I watched the city I grew up rapidly gentrify, and I have seen my new city(nyc) rapidly gentrify over the past decade. I think your opinion is due to personal underexposure and perhaps some bias toward urban lifestyles.

the bay area is being absorbed into it, but SV is like, disney world 'burbs.

moonshine isn't even the write analogy. When was the last time someone offered you home-grown tobacco?

I like the idea that you are just walking around asking security engineers for password managers

"building the wall" is racism....

regardless, the problem is if you are perceived as not wanting immigrants, the most skilled ones will go elsewhere, because they can.

Perhaps those grievances get obscured when people parrot the same nonsense about "elites" that the AI propaganda spouts.

A quirk resulting from this is that New Orleanians refer to medians as "neutral grounds," as there was a median separating the american sector from the french quarter where trade between the two occured(this is now canal st.).

it's probably related to your 2 edits solely about being downvoted

give me your money

I think he means it auto minimizes to the tray

Right, but there is a race where you only swim in one direction

the enemy of your enemy can be a much worse enemy
