@Sargon_of_Akkad Excellent. Not sure I like all the framing, but very useful. Can you point to how 2.0 is unfolding?
@Sargon_of_Akkad Good points, it is indeed a parasitic movement. But it is not liberal in origin. On the contrary, Woke is a gnostic religion, same as Hegel and Marx. TIK history and James Lindsay talk at length about this
@Sargon_of_Akkad I haven’t watched it all but I get the impression it won’t tackle the root of the issue. Google “Torches of Freedom” and read about the first successful modern marketing campaign. It told women smoking = having a penis. Then watch “The Century of the Self” on YouTube.
The graphics, the tone, the presentation.... all that was missing was the screen notes and music on fade out and we could have called it This Week in Deja Vu. There is still an audience for this type of content 👍
@Sargon_of_Akkad This needs captions and a transcript. Much of what you said is true and more people need to hear it.
It's good to see the old avatar back. I do disagree on some points, but as always, you make solid arguments and I agree more than I disagree with you. One thing I disagree on is that we're not all Liberals, and gamers are getting fed up and pushing back. There has been a significant shift in the sales of AAA games in the past year or so that bears this out. Another thing is whether we'll win. On a long enough timeline, this method of injecting their politics into a subject matter will always fail because it's propped up by investment capital. As soon as we see an economic downturn, that capital dries up and so does their ability to fight. Just my 2-cents. Really been enjoying lotuseaters.com
@Sargon_of_Akkad it feels like ive been put in a time warp back to 2015, first learning about you and the counter culture because of gamer gate. It is really trippy.
@Sargon_of_Akkad You need more of these Carl explaining & breaking down your thesis & potential solutions; video-based monographs from the @lotuseaters_com team, not unlike PragerU videos, free to access would serve this & as marketing for your site.
