My first mistake was probably venturing outside the Game, Travel and Lifestyle sub forums.

Heh, truer words have never been spoken/written. EE can be a minefield sometimes and a true graveyard for guys getting banned - many times guys who have great insights on game but get all caught up in XYZ thread and have a meltdown. Look at guys like Hencredible Casanova, Cardguy and Krauser. The list goes on and on.

I think the crazy part is that although in general most of us are pretty "red pill" and get the joke of how rampant, self-serving and destructive Feminism & the anti-male/femininity/traditional values/nature culture has been in the west the past 50 or so years, many times it's hard for the average guy to connect the dots and see how the SJW complex is really everywhere - in academia and the schools, in the mainstream media, the workplace and of course among the political set. These people all work in tandem, so it's not just the Feminists...it's an entire complex (many call it the Cultural Marxists, - whatever it is it exists, and needs to be torn down). When one realizes this, it follows that whenever this huge leviathan of repressive mainstream culture speaks that one should pause to think and reflect and evaluate when someone cries "racism", "sexism", "homophobia" etc.

People are so used to clamming up and not voicing their opinions in the West in the public realm so as to not "offend" anyone that it's akin to the former Soviet Union where many people were either spying on each other or just plain afraid to say anything that went against the Party.

People are essentially taught to be "victims" in the UK and the Anglosphere & EU. The party lines on who is "bad" and who is "good" is horribly skewed against anyone not being perceived as a victim. It's gotten so out of hand that you literally can't say most things even mildly controversial, most particularly in work & social environments. So in the West now the truth is the last thing many people, and the media in particular, care about.

Indeed it sometimes seems that all the powers that be want to do it look good, to not cause conflict, keep their profitable business running, keep on selling newspapers, etc. Forget what really matters (family, friends, freedom of speech & association, etc.) - indeed it appears the average person is willing to forego the freedoms we once had to either make a buck or just simply live in peace sometimes.

Look at what it took for #Gamergate to come about - bunch of guys who were apolitical literally couldn't even play a f*cking videogame without some SJW crazy/tranny popping out and telling them they were exclusionary, racist misogynists and that games needed to change. So when pushed into a corner they fought back (and are still being called all sort of things by our corrupt, lying mainstream media and the SJW crowd (really one and the same)).

Anyway, I see a lot of this SJW / PC though police stuff all over the UK just like it's in the US, so it's difficult to be optimistic about this country or anywhere else in the West these days. It is what it is. Just improve yourself and be your best.

Rant over - now back to the thread.
