Your constant need to attack Americans keeps bringing the subject of American politics up. You bring it up and get all pissy when people actually qualified to speak chime in. I am not in country, so I don't say sh*t about your Boris mess. See how that works? You don't live here, pipe down.
Your skim reading and need to have the "last word" on a nation you don't live in (while claiming the country in question is off limits and simultaneously discussing it) certainly does "tell me something about the individual".
Have a good one, mate.

This situation seems much like a rorschach, or to put it in the original language of psychoanalysis: „Jeder sieht, was er sehen möchte“
It's so big and far-reaching that it's almost impossible for anyone to discern what it is or means while in the middle of it. What's left is projection.

Can you explain where the Gamergate lot comes from and describe where their "liberal" behavior properly fits in the American political vernacular? Are there other fringe groups in the same wing with them or is it something entrely different?
Of course, any discussion of where they fit is always a strict taboo (that can call down an army of internet cancel soldier), but I wonder how you see them.

The full explanation for them can be found in the way their backgrounds, childhoods, circumstances, and skin tones come together. It's also remarkably peculiar how well their profiles align to the gaming press--because they share a unique set of privileges and (general) socioeconomic circumstance that is out of step with the way many other people live.

GAMERGATORS I imagine would react to COVID-19 with some kind of careless (dare I say "merciless"?) "let the weak cucks die but don't touch muh freedoms" attitude, except of course when it's their own grandpa that kicks the bucket. At which point they will be confused, just like the ...
SJW's who just don't know how to respond as a united front, as this pandemic does not map neatly onto their binary Oppressor vs. Oppressed worldview, or rather it fits in more ways than one which means they are trying to figure out which way is up so they can start kicking.
Re: COVID-19 in your part of the world
In america two privately owned political parties choose two candidates with nearly identical policies and then voters try to guess which will be slightly less shitty. Both parties hold primary votes, but neither is under any legal obligation to uphold the results if they want to go with someone else. There's no preferential voting, the system is designed to give a third party candidate the longest odds possible. They use easily rigged electronic voting machines. The political and capitalist classes hold near complete control over mass media and have no reservations about lying or burying stories they don't like. On top of all of that, there is quite a lot of outright fraud in manufacturing fake votes and suppressing or destroying legitimate ones. American voters are stupid as hell but given the circumstances it's hard to place too much of the blame on them.orange808 wrote:You're not getting something. You keep pretending that gun and bibles culture flows from the government. It doesn't. That comes from people and those same people have equally religious suspicion of the government itself--and that's culturally encoded throughout. If the elected official doesn't support guns and bibles, they will change their votes. They care about stupid things and believe stupid things--and that's what swings their votes. (That's the problem!)

Combined with their wealthy backgrounds (and zero immediate threat to them), they are likely to advance the same "blank cheque" attitude toward Covid-19 that they use for environmentalism: a cause I support, but policy shouldn't be crafted on the backs of the poor.

it's weird, I always placed GAMERGATORS as pretty conservative/rightwing types (i.e. don't care about minority rights, don't care about animal rights, traditional male/female roles which -because they're mostly men- means a kind of affected hypermasculinity, that kind of stuff). Only thing that doesn't map onto the the traditional US right seems to me born-again-religiosity.
