The corporate types are behind the Dems too though.Opensecrets shows who donates to whom, and the truth is a lot of big businesses donate to both ends. As do rich people.
Almost like they're playing both sides.

yeah, they’re called lobbyists. Kinda destroys the whole left/right spectrum now, doesn’t it? 🤨

Although it would be interesting if Trump invented a 3rd party and this time succeed.
I have no idea, really, what his platform or policies would be. But he'd certainly be just as economically corrupt as the existing parties, and possibly considerably more reactionary, because that's where he'd get most of his support from.
Originally posted by BlakemoreThe truth is the owners of production run everything still. But they like us happy and consuming so they try and create parameters for this. Social politics is partially divorced from this due to not all nations and systems being worth subsumsion by these corporations yet. The goal is to raise them to the level of consumers, none of this accounts for the global environmental crisis, the hangover from archaic religions and tribalism etc. Which are all curve balls in this process. We sleep, they live!

Gamergate is what got gamers associated with the alt right.
Granted, we do have our issues-- but gaming is so inclusive that even our sexual predators are diverse as hell.
What do a straight dude, a transwoman, a gay guy, and a cis-gendered woman of different races have in common, other than being professional e-sports players? They were all sexually assaulting tournament goers and/or minors.
Equality! We touchin' everybody over here boiiiii!

Many asian women are fine as f*** it is true, but I couldn't care less about anime so clearly you don't know what in the hell you're talking about, as usual.
You like dickgirls. Same as Nuke Nixon and Klaw.

Over years of reporting on internet culture, I’ve heard countless versions of Mr. Cain’s story: an aimless young man — usually white, frequently interested in video games — visits YouTube looking for direction or distraction and is seduced by a community of far-right creators.https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2019/06/08/technology/youtube-radical.html
Ferguson, a middle schooler in Ontario, Canada, had been tapping out the same four-letter sequence on his keyboard for hours.
W, A, S, D.
W, A, S, D.
He was steering his digital avatar, a Lego-man-like military grunt, in laps around a futuristic airfield. Although his fingers ached, he would gladly have gone on for hours more. Every keystroke brought the 11-year-old closer to his goal: scaling the ranks of a group in the video game Roblox.
The group had rules. Strict rules. Players dressed as pilots and marines went around barking out orders in little speech bubbles. When Ferguson wasn’t running laps, he was doing drills or scaling walls—boot camp stuff. The only three words he could say during training were “YES,” “NO,” and “SIR.” And “SIR” generally applied to one person, Malcolm, the domineering adolescent who ruled the group.
