QAnon was the psyop and everyone on /pol/ called it out for what it was.

It's your fault for not believing us when we told you about all this shit more than a decade ago. /pol/ culture predates the board itself too.

>>733096079
The elites don't fuck around. If they and other opportunists with power left the internet alone then the moronic masses worldwide would've developed class consciousness freakishly fast after getting smartphones. Every conclusion you need to come to can be drawn from that. We are playing a psychological game with many layers and both the righties making everything an unwinnable bait situation and the lefties constantly eating each other over purity metrics are the foot soldiers for their bullshit, and the point is to prevent cohesion.

The fact that you and I are bitching about this rather than laughing as some guy jacking off to tile patterns. That is the point. Sorry if this post seems kinda all over the place, I have years of pent up rage over this.

those issues were a problem before Epstein. as were dishonest players getting into the gaming industry. those issues were going to happen with or without that board existing. That's something that a lot of detractors don't seem to get. The subversion of every institution has been going on since the '60s, and gaming was absolutely not going to be an exception. there needed to be organized places that weren't over moderated like bReddit to at least give people a voice against it. /pol/ is many things, but a cancer to the industry isn't one fo them. its a painkiller.

Nothing has changed since 2016. You can not say "remember 2016?" as if it is any different at all from 2026. It's all the same. Nothing has changed since then.

>>
>>733100164
they don't control the companies, why would you think that? Zoe Quinn was the prime example of the issue. she's the flagship example that you can point to and no amount of denying and gas lighting can escape it. I shouldn't even have to say anymore. there is proven collusion just like in big politics, and they've outright been hand and hand. If you don't want to believe that I'm not going to try to force you, but if you've been here longer than a year you've surely seen such things referenced habitually.

>>733100214
QAnon was their well poisoning measure, some of the stuff they said was true while the rest were outlandish fiction, then they used it to brainwash boomers and make jewish awareness sound schizo up until recently.

Zoomers romanticizing 2016 proves that there is just a point in your childhood where you are happy no matter what. Granted a lot of kids movies came out in 2016 and kids had unlimited access to all content from before that point in time because of netflix AND the economy wasnt in the trash but most people remember thinking 2016 was a pretty shit year, myself included.

There was still some degree of normalcy during these years, Trump's first term was sorta chill and it all started going to shit by 2020, the entire economy is shifting to a dark place and if you're both a pol and biz schizo you know this is gonna be a bad year since we're about to enter a major recession.

It actually makes sense when you factor in Greater Israel expansion. Basically the idea is to get so many normal Jews scared to live in what ever country they are in currently in thanks to the rise of Anti Semitism, so that the only place they can feel safe is Israel and with the over whelping support of those who'd want to stop anti semitism and ensure the jews are able to find peace, they can then use that justification for more and more Israeli expansion and Grift the rest of the world even harder as being the most needed underdeveloped developed nation.

Once again, pol culture predated the board itself, they were aware of the distractions set upon OWS and we never stopped trying to expose those who were at the top, the media just made us look like schizos and censored any attempts, what do you think pizzagate was? And don't bullshit me that it was all schizo bullshit because not even normalfags believe that now. You also talk like the democrats weren't all in on Israel or other jewish interests too, they just did it "quietly" and with less MSM attention, Kamala would've done the exact same shit and the current palestinian genocide would've been completely ignored just like it was the previous times.

This site for the most part give a shit about the jews until tail end of Gamergate/beginning of Trump 2016. As most people stated, /pol/ was irrelevant as fuck, until 2016 when they just began quietly annexing boards (this board being the most prominent example) by dragging in everything to be over-politicized and about the culture war, and it's only ramped up more and more ever since.

first of all it's not just websites, they are actual journalism outlets.

It seems very opinionated on this, but I'm going to have to disagree. The journalism isn't some kind of reporting on African economic issues or something, it's for entertainment yes.

I doubt Americans will do much wven when all names come out in Epstein files. It would collapse the system and hurt "their side" too much, on top of hurting rich people.

You're right about that. But you missing the real problem Gamergate was opposing. It wasn't Journalism itself. It was more precisely, Journalists who began conspiring to uphold certain biases on games and game companies so they could have control over what was wasn't allowed in the space. One bad review and 4 good review, means nothing. Neither does 3 bad or 2 good, people can still find fun in that game. But when you have literally all of the reviewers parroting the same thing, like the "game is bad" and it turns out it wasn't actually none of them played it. That's a problem, it's basically why games have become the homogenized medium it's become to day.

Gamergate was a big deal in that regard. Is that you had a bunch of fags, by essentially speaking for you, telling game companies what you want play and what you think is good, with out you yourself actually even being part of the conversation.

/new/ wasn't killed because of /pol/ culture. /new/ was killed because it was supposed to be a news aggregator and spiraled out of scope due to the imageboard format allowing old news to constantly stagnate newer news by people who missed them when they were new news visiting the board and endlessly discussing horses that were already beaten to death. That the discussion that overshadowed news happened to mimic future /pol/ is simply due to the fact that 4chan discussions have always been formatted in a heated and offensive way. /pol/ was never intended as a successor to /new/. Moot just noticed that the userbase of the site was more interested in having a current happenings /b/ than a news aggregator.

The space I'm referring too is the market as a whole. When I say what was and wasn't allowed. I'm referring to the consensus especially we still see to this day. Like how Japanese games were virtually all raked through the coals unless they are Nintendo, for being to anime and weird. The notion that over sexualized games were a problematic issue in gaming, but we are all suppose to at the same time be completely okay with hyper emphasis on ultra gore and violence. The idea that this genre of games is shit every, game should be that genre instead. This is the shit that started all back in 2010s and it's done nothing but ruin video games.
>There's such an insane amount of games coming out nowadays.
There's really not. And they are all the same. Homogenisation I'm referring to is when everything had to be a souls like or it's garbage. Everything has to be too realistic and too serious or it's kiddie shit. Now it's everything has to be and open world sand box/hero shooter and /or Gacha game. How you can say otherwise and have no clue or awareness of the shit that been talked about in video game discussions for literally a decade and a half, that's what's total horseshit.

They have been losing money which is why they're moving away from the gaming industry and gambled everything into AI. Turns out giving video game companies money so they consider spreading your ESG agendas a bigger priority than making something people would want to play and by extention pay money for is not a sustainable business model. There is no such thing as a culture war. There is only a group of retarded apes who spent the last decade defending shitty multibillion dollar companies on the internet because they slapped a nigger or a flag into a game.

Because the corporation can just slot another guy in the place of the CEO you shot. Luigi's CEO killing just led to another CEO taking his place.

Nta, but as a critical thinker you have to ask is that research even valid or us just planted there for you to find. That's the real question here behind the confusion. We got the files out, but why aren't they just all out instead of the selective drip feed, why are damn near all the names reacted from it. And if Trump never wanted to do it in the first place. Why did he run on it, appoint Pam Bondi who is apparently also the list, as DOJ, who then did a photo with the files in her hand, if there intent was to just never show them at all. Not to mention all this and we still haven't yet learn anything devastatingly new. At some point you just have to go "Okay how much of this is actually real" and be skeptical even when the research is all there.
