demolition man

a mother goes to a plane with her daughter and the daughter vanishes and everyone in the plane tells her she never brought a daughter onto the plane

still this state will never be achieved

its like with communism

its anti-nature

The situation you just described.

everyone tells you you never had a daughter

Is called me arguing with 7 people in this chat.

it doesn't matter how much you know that to be true

yeah i know which movie u mean

"I'm right. All of you people are wrong"
"THERE SCRIB GOES AGAIN"

everyone around you tells you it's a lie, so it feels like a faint dream eventually

Only difference is, I have gamergate fresh in my memory. To assure me that there can indeed be thousands of bullshitters to one sane person.

yes

GamerGate was invaluable to knowing the patterns

as well as 1984 itself

i didnt need gamergate for that

have those fresh in your mind

but it did engage me politcally anyways

I wasn't around for gamergate.

for that? no

Well, 1984 was fiction.

Gamergate is a little more valuable because it really happened.

but to know their tactics? for the alarm bells to ring on certain ocasions? yes

and you'll see it

I'm always a little dubious of people justifying their claims based on fictional material

Oliver Campbell (super inspiring dude)

1984 was fiction, yet the left uses tactics from it like it was their handbook

Even if it's based off reality?

1984 was based of socialism.

It's based off reality, while Gamergate IS reality.

said in 2014 that this was only going to end when violence got into the picture

We saw it. It happened to people.

Lives are still destroyed by it.

IT's still someone's guess or extrapolation

It may be useful, but it's not _evidence_

the reason why 1984 keeps being relevant is simply because its about authoritarianism and authoritarianism will keep rearing its head every time the next crisis pops up

Yeah I'm not trying to equate it to reality but there is a lot to learn from it.

the tactis themselves never change
