      my point is that America didn’t just recently “become fascist” through some gamer social reactionary tantrum. America has always been a fascist state and was doing medical experiments on black people against their will and running slave penal colonies for hundreds of years. Westerners really don’t understand that America didn’t just “become fascist” it IS fascist at its core and always has been, and stuff like Gamergate are just tiny symptoms not causes

      I really don’t like it when people try to blame everything on Trumpism and act like it’s an anomaly and we were less fascist beforehand. It’s even done here, and in the “99% hitler vs 100% hitler” memes. Hitler was 50% as fascist as America. We are worse and more successful at being evil and fascist. Hitler looked to us for inspiration and failed to reach our level.

          There’s an argument to be made that GG was responsible for neo-fascism blooming in the west.

          This comment from SorosFootSoldier was the one I primarily took issue with. Naive, idealist and really lib-coded comment if you ask me, and then you adding on agreeing and saying that GG caused Trump (which caused Fascism) is what made me mention how silly this entire “analysis” was. Biden is equally as fascist as Trump, all the anti-GG libs who are now zionists are equally as much fascists as their GG counterparts (See: Brianna Wu)

              at some point you are going to need to reconcile with reality that some gamers getting mad about boobies online and harassing some journalists is absolutely nothing in the world historical scale. You also can’t respond to the “anti-fascist” anti-GG side becoming all pro-genocide libs now who are also fascists.

              I wasn’t just saying “material conditions” I’m pointing out exactly how both of your analysis is flawed because its saying that we became fascist or became more fascist, which never happened.
