00:00:29.820 I've been thinking about Gamergate recently. In particular, what an abject failure it was.
00:00:39.440 It managed to get some meaningless concessions from some of the online video game magazines that were particularly infested with SJWs.
00:00:48.880 But with the recent publishing of Mass Effect Andromeda, which has become an absolute joke, it's very clear that the whole company, BioWare, has been infested with SJWs, who not only write garbage plots, but are also incapable of doing basic animations correctly.
00:01:10.960 This is just the cherry on top.
00:01:14.720 As the largest voices of Gamergate were announcing how well it succeeded, we now have SJWs completely infesting the AAA industry.
00:01:27.900 QQ did a great video a while back talking about how, despite Gamergate, maybe you could even say because of how far Gamergate fell from its ideals,
00:01:40.140 they managed to take over the indie market and then sell out the indie market to the AAA industry.
00:01:47.140 So now we don't even have a resistance force of good games being made.
00:01:53.980 It's nothing but Hollywood pablum, and you're going to buy it and you're going to like it, no matter what anybody says.
00:02:00.600 So I've been thinking about how the whole thing went down, and I think the best analogy is the Mensheviks in Russia.
00:02:11.880 Now my last in-depth analysis video was about these philosophical movements in Russian history.
00:02:22.040 And I'm still working on the follow-up about how the Trotskyism and Leninism applies to modern-day politics.
00:02:30.240 And despite the Trump administration, it's still very, very relevant.
00:02:33.000 But I'm just going to review this briefly for any of you who missed that video or who, you know, forget the details.
00:02:41.920 Essentially, what we had in Soviet Russia, or with the development, what created Soviet Russia,
00:02:48.660 what turned it from, what took it from the Tsar and gave it over to the Marxists,
00:02:57.160 what happens is that you had two main groups.
00:02:59.600 The Bolsheviks, who were the inner party of the far left, and the Mensheviks.
00:03:08.140 The Mensheviks were the wider, the more democratic, the socialist group of people.
00:03:15.480 This would include laborers, skilled laborers, farmers.
00:03:20.280 This was the populist side of communism.
00:03:24.600 And then you had the Bolsheviks, which was the elitist side of communism.
00:03:32.140 Now, in actual fact, the way the whole thing played out is that you had all of these Mensheviks 1.00
00:03:37.520 thinking that they were part of the movement when they were just the useful idiots. 1.00
00:03:41.960 They were the groundswell of support to attack, to remove, and to murder the Tsar and his family. 1.00
00:03:50.600 But they were being played like fools by the Bolsheviks, by the inner party of elites. 0.97
00:03:57.820 And so what's happened recently, what's been happening for the past 20 years, 50 years, 0.97
00:04:07.640 is that the left, the left is controlled by a small cabal of radicals.
00:04:17.820 I say a small cabal, I'm talking hundreds and thousands of university professors, journalists, think tanks, politicians, etc.
00:04:29.840 But it's a very small group compared to the vast swath of people that consider themselves to be left-wing,
00:04:37.940 consider themselves to be progressive, or democrat, or what have you.
00:04:42.400 And so what happened in the years leading up to Gamergate is that the Bolshevik group,
00:04:53.080 the far left, became increasingly radical.
00:04:57.640 You know, in Soviet Russia, you saw that the Bolsheviks eventually turned on the farmers.
00:05:03.440 The farmers were unpatriotic for not giving all of their food to the new Soviet state.
00:05:08.360 They were unpatriotic for not working 22 hours a day, etc.
00:05:12.820 And so they were inconvenient, were going to starve those people to death.
00:05:16.360 You know, the Russian Revolution starts off as this big movement where you're going to liberate the workers,
00:05:21.940 you name it, and it winds up attacking the very people it was supposed to liberate.
00:05:27.340 This is what has happened with the current left.
00:05:30.820 You know, I call it social justice or feminism, progressivism. 1.00
00:05:34.920 The label changes every so often, but it's the same group of people, the same toxic, year zero, universalist ideology coming out of these people.
00:05:47.480 So the Bolsheviks, in this case, are your average semi-educated, you know, like university-educated, 0.89
00:05:58.460 but they have an IQ below 120, so they can't really understand anything they learned. 0.71
00:06:02.200 It's these people who were promised, you know, like, we get feminism, now you don't have to get married, you get to have lots of sex. 1.00
00:06:12.060 There's no nationalism anymore, so you shouldn't have to serve in the military, because that's scary and that's frightening.
00:06:17.980 And you shouldn't have to be responsible for yourself.
00:06:21.460 Good Lord, working a job, having to show up on time, that's no fun, we'll give you some welfare.
00:06:28.420 You had this huge group of these lazy, morally weak, non-intellectual, anti-intellectual moderates,
00:06:40.720 who were the Mensheviks of all of this. 0.76
00:06:44.820 And so they thought this was just wonderful.
00:06:47.980 And then, you know, building up more and more over the past 15 years, we're getting really hardcore about five years ago, 0.89
00:06:57.240 you started to get the radical left SJWs, where you have to be a non-binary, bisexual, furry, whatever, a degenerate freak. 0.98
00:07:09.720 We hate white men, we hate people that are successful in business, etc., etc. 0.99
00:07:14.300 We hate quality, we hate beauty, we hate anything good, we want to degrade everything. 0.99
00:07:20.180 And these people became the bleeding edge.
00:07:22.880 And so all of these Mensheviks, all of these moderates, were being thrown under the bus. 0.95
00:07:29.240 And so with Gamergate, with Gamergate, you know, we had, it was an alliance, a very loose and toxic alliance between the right and the moderate left.
00:07:49.320 Except the moderate left, these Mensheviks, they just wanted to wind back the clock about five or ten years. 0.94
00:07:58.620 They just wanted to go back where white men weren't being attacked all the time, etc.
00:08:03.120 But, you know what, they can still do whatever they want.
00:08:06.660 They can do drugs, they can go on welfare, you name it.
00:08:09.580 You know, they still want all of that, all of those false promises that the Bolsheviks were offering them. 0.91
00:08:19.940 You know, they just didn't want to admit this was the inevitable decline.
00:08:24.120 Whereas the right, the right is about principles.
00:08:27.780 It is about personal integrity, personal responsibility.
00:08:31.380 It's about having an understanding of history.
00:08:33.240 It's about greatness, about pursuing greatness, about always improving yourself, about having standards.
00:08:44.660 And so if you can imagine in Russia, you know, if these Mensheviks were all upset with the Bolsheviks because they're being starved to death, etc. 0.62
00:08:53.440 You know, you could see, you could see the monarchists, the true right, mistaking them for allies because they're opposed to the Bolsheviks.
00:09:06.580 But see, these Mensheviks are just as opposed to the right, to having principles, as the Bolsheviks are. 0.90
00:09:15.200 They hate the idea that they have to keep their word, that they need to earn a living, that they need to be decent human beings.
00:09:26.180 They hate that just as much as the extreme left.
00:09:31.140 And so what happened with Gamergate is that all of these moderates, you know, they rose to influence. 0.87
00:09:38.140 Because when you don't care whether or not you're a hypocrite, it's a lot easier to criticize other people quickly and in an entertaining manner.
00:09:49.080 So these are the voices that rose to prominence through Gamergate, took over Gamergate, ousted anybody that actually had principles,
00:09:58.200 anybody that thought, you know, that principles matter.
00:10:02.700 Because, again, all that these people stand for is getting along and being nice and identifying with one another as opposed to living up to any sort of standard.
00:10:15.360 So these are the guys that took it over.
00:10:17.680 They declared it a victory.
00:10:20.100 And these days they're trying to jump in front of the Trump train, but it's not working very well.
00:10:27.460 You know, because what we're seeing now in politics is the right.
00:10:30.880 I think we learned that lesson.
00:10:32.520 We learned just how treacherous the moderates are.
00:10:35.100 They're not moderates, okay?
00:10:36.560 They're leftists.
00:10:37.320 They're just not leftists that are currently in power.
00:10:42.800 We recognized how treacherous they were. 0.97
00:10:45.680 And the alt-right, the dissident right, the Trump administration, we're not playing ball with any of these scumbags or neocons or moderates anymore. 0.98
00:10:59.120 We are actually organizing based upon principle. 0.99
00:11:05.780 And so the Bolsheviks and the Mensheviks are over here having their stupid little fight, you know, talking about SJWs, this, that, the other thing, whereas we are actually moving full speed ahead. 0.86
00:11:19.460 So I think something like, you know, you take Mass Effect and Andromeda, you know, you take gaming in general. 0.97
00:11:28.860 It was a casualty.
00:11:30.720 Sadly, gaming has largely been taken over by the SJWs that the Gamergate was supposed to fight.
00:11:36.920 Gamergate didn't just lose the fight.
00:11:41.280 Gamergate handed the fight over exactly the same way that Bernie Sanders willingly handed over the Democrat, the nomination to Hillary Clinton.
00:11:52.640 They gave it away.
00:11:54.180 But we learned the lesson, and you know what?
00:11:59.620 Sacrificing good video games for the next five years in exchange for the Trump administration?
00:12:05.700 Absolutely worth it.
00:12:07.240 And I think that all of us are a lot stronger for it.
00:12:15.000 Deus Volte, folks.
00:12:17.780 Irini out.
00:12:18.360 Deus Volte, Deus Volte, Deus Volte, Deus Volte.
