The "internet" was first created as a military tool as far back as the early 80's (As i understand it, i could be wrong) Come the 90's, i heard that the man who had a huge hand in creating it essentially "gifted" it to the world. Men like Bill Gates and jeff bezos made eye-watering fortunes from it. Overnight, the human race went from having to get information from books and vetted media outlets to being able to access the opinions of millions of people. You can find studies on literally anything. You can come into contact with many many types of idea's and like-minded people and you can come into contact with the absolute opposite and the worst the human race has to offer.

When i was younger (mid teens), conspiracy sites such as Abovetopsecret.com were a treasure trove of alternative thinking but interestingly, back then, seemed to be held to a lot of more scrutiny by the community on that site. Most notably the debates on if 9/11 was an inside job is what really peaked me at an early age of understanding the kind of world we were living in and where the power truly was. Abovetopsecret is no longer the site it was, its littered with poorly thought out right-wing drivel attracting the likes of flat-earthers, anti-vaxers and other off-the-wall nutty theorists and theories that don't stand up to even the lightest scrutiny. I dont personally feel like that's an accident, maybe that's just the conspiracy theorist inside me?

What changed in the span of 10-15 years? Most notably, there was an economic recession which at one point threatened the position of the elite. Do you remember the 99% protests? The way that the ultra wealthy on wall-st and around the world watched from their balconies while drinking expensive champagne looking down their noses at the people who were protesting a global financial system that rigged the entire economy against workers? Do you remember how those protest's peter'd out, things actually got worse in the long term and suddenly the fixation of a gender war between men and women began? The internet began its decline. More porn, less places to critically think, more "reactive" media. More pushing for the viewer to "pick a side" added with the older physical media in our lives such as TV news stations and printed media who more and more declawed themselves to the point where "investigative journalism" is a thing of the past. Its no conspiracy that the media is owned by billionaires, dickheads like Murdoch who even had to become an american citizen just to EXPAND his already massive empire, the papers still dictate what people are willing to accept as reality via their headlines. Articles that appear at first to have bite and meaning soon turn into a long way of reading someone say "Well, im not quite sure myself what to think" while also simultaneously providing only a fraction of the facts needed to get a proper rounded view. The opposite to those articles are the ones that say for sure they understand the world better then you do - That conservatism is fair, that there is no way to end poverty, to help people and lastly that military might and campaigns are "Unfortunate but necessary" coupled further with the media that glorifies veterans as "heroes" because they are willingly sent across the world to kill other poor people. Divide and conquer works so well, why change the formula?

There are has been a war on for peoples minds all of this time and i genuinely think that most people are completely unaware of it. Totally oblivious. Im even willing to bet that there are things that even i dont bat an eyelid about, so well is the condition. There is a quote by David Rockerfella in one of his biographies where he proudly admits to wanting to censor the internet. I may try and find this depending on how much attention this thread gets (because its a long post) and link it because its important to see what's right in front of you.

Around 2-3 years ago there was a huge debacle of "net-neutrality" on the USA where IPS's were basically lobbying for the right to slow and cap internet speeds to certain websites, essentially controlling the data available and further allowing them to somewhat control access. To my knowledge, i think this bill was passed and repealed? but facism doesnt happen over night, its a gradual decline and that was their big attempt in the west to see the populations reactions. During that debacle i AMAZED at the total lack of understand by those debating on platforms such as facebook. So much dis-information, so many sock-puppet accounts so many logical responses and questions hounded down with emotionally driven reactions to reasonable discussions. It can almost be compared to the divisions caused today in light of those that dont want to wear face-masks and isolate for both their safety and others, they do so with the complete convictions that whatever they think is right and stopping to question what they think is somehow weak.

Moving on - Brexit. How the fuck do you convince a population to massively vote against its own interests? You use companies such as cambridge analyitica to specifically target the weak - The people who never got to the point of being able to examine the information presented to them and they knew - they absolutely knew, there are millions upon millions out there. You dont trash an education system because you want people to think for themselves, do you it so that they think the way you want them to think. Slogans such as "£350 million a week for the NHS" plastered across a bus - Yet no one bothered to question why couldnt we fund the NHS and still stay in the EU? The media's handling of it was competently incompetent, just as their various election coverage where they refused to ask the hard questions of a party that had been in power a good 7 years and reeked austerity upon the population.

Where am i going with all of this? Well, if your reading this right now its because Gender Critical was shut down and disposed of from Reddit. Women got silenced and what remains on reddit is to continue the complicity of men watching the world go to hell. "Enjoy the decline" they muse to themselves, inside a bubble of perpetual hatred for the world they feel they have no hand in, no part to play and no hope to change. When i stumbled upon GC i became aware months later that what i really liked about it was the fact that it wasnt just irrational emotional opinions, it was intelligent people (mainly women obviously) that were looking deeper into the world we lived in. Not in a conspiratorial way either, but more of a "I want to live in a sane world where facts, truth and honesty are a baseline as to what i expect to be surrounded by" I fell in love. After many years of watching the internet turn to shit, feeling alien to sites i once loved such as ATS, watching insane facebook debates and the people around me gradually decent more and more into themselves, i had, by chance, stumbled into a place that rejected all of that. And that's dangerous to the men who see the world as something to be moulded to their will.

Men still rule the world. Nothing really changed. The world is exactly how they want it to be - Shit for everyone except them. The economy collapses so they create a gender war and pornify the internet, enslaving men to their dicks. They create shit like brexit to stop people looking to other ways of managing an economy and keep them divided, blaming one another for the mess they had no real hand in creating. They buy governments all over the world and pass legislation to restrict access to information, defund education, funnel money from workers into the pockets of billionaires and prop up capitalism. All the while, 3.5 billion people are practically living in poverty in 2020. A building burns down in paris and £300 million in donations is received by wealthy people within 24 hours - But they've had over 30 years to try and sort the rest of the world out - They conspired to make it worse.

The internet as we know it has already ended. The use of bots to post fake comments is well known. They divert any rational conversation to unrelated territories to keep people from focusing on issues that matter. I even admit, GC'ers are distracted by fighting for women's spaces rather than our liberation from this fucked up oppressive system. They create obstacles, we spend time trying to get over them while fighting each other - This system is designed and it is effective.

BLM is important but tbh, should have been the very beginnings of a working class fighting back collectively against capitalist tyrants. Instead what do you see? Division. Feminism should have been about liberating women but even we face division at the hands of liberal feminists who are not ready to part ways with a world that objectively hates them. People are scared because they're lost. And they should be scared to be honest, i dread to think what is to come in the future in a world where a government can false-flag its own citizens, trash a global-economy and profit from it, wage mindless wars that span decades killing and maiming millions while the modern western man sits at home jacking it to hate-porn and hoping one day he can get a BJ from a woman he consider's a solid 8 in the "sexual market"

Censorship preludes very bad times ahead. As woman, we might just be in this fight by ourselves and as it stands, we are bringing knives to a nuclear war.

Just wanted to share a spiral of thoughts. Hope this want too long and i hope, if you got all the way through it, it was worth the read. Criticism is expected. Much love GC'ers.
