If youβre wondering how Twitch intersects with murderous rightwing terrorism, itβs time for a refresher on the Ruby Ridge of online violence: Gamergate. And why it never went away, with β¦@BriannaWuβ© https://t.co/9zP4DOwwU8

My official opinion is right here. To me, G*mergate was simply an experiment in manipulating groupthink to achieve political results. When that worked much better than expected, the next logical experiment was to turn the dials up as high as they could go and see if I could start a religion.

I'm in awe about how hard I've been outjerked. Look at this high IQ tryhard with actually interesting and coherent blogposts, instead of awful half-baked text dumps that usually have several unfinished paragraphs littered within. (https://itsnotmyfault01.medium.com/ or https://itsnotmyfault.substack.com/p/a-review-of-ruha-benjamins-race-after?s=w if you wanna snoop around, but not much is there.)
Nice work!

Yes, except g*mers were the Weaver family and obnoxious woke feminists were the FBI.

A dude exposes his "famous" ex as a manipulative abuser and literally every journo to this day refuses to acknowledge and calls him the abuser. The b-word ran off with 85k in Kickstarter money and they just pretend it never happened. Sounds like a weird cult.

It pains me to know that even if my post-post-post-post-post ironic shitposting career lasts until I die of old age I will never manage to concoct any single piece of nonsense that is as fricking funny as what this person just wrote with complete sincerity.

i think on some level she was thinking it'd get a rise out of people
journ*lists are really just trolls, just laugh it off and try not to think about what that means for society as a whole
they're just like us

Sometimes I wonder what it'd be like to go deep cover at a rag like Salon and write the most ridiculous progressive shlock I could conceive of just to push the limits of what they're willing to publish. It'd be pretty funny if you earned a respected reputation in progressive journo circles based entirely on a body of work written completely ironically.

They'd have to twist themselves into pretzels trying to make excuses why your work is still valid, like when that guy presented a paper that was created with the Postmodernism generator and people apparently couldn't tell there was anything wrong with it.

It's called freelancing. The lower your rate, the more you'll be able to publish. Just send your takes in and see if they'll bite.

This is certainly an interesting comparison. The author of this article probably wasnβt alive when Ruby Ridge happened either.

Or maybe some internal Trek drama. But definitely something involving star Trek.

I honestly dont even know how to contort the two things enough for that comparison to even occur.
The only thing i can think of is it being a source of a political shift against those in power.
