I’ve noticed that too. Especially with regards to the COVID-19 pandemic. First, Reddit was condemning people who suggested closing the borders to prevent the pandemic from getting into other countries until we know for sure how deadly the virus is. Then Reddit was lashing out at people for opposing the lockdowns and attacks on civil liberties, calling people selfish. Even though people were losing their jobs, people couldn’t pay their bills and small businesses were going bankrupt. That didn’t matter to Reddit. Then George Floyd happened, and all of a sudden Reddit forgot that COVID existed for a few months, and also jumped on the ACAB bandwagon. Now Reddit is back to lashing out at people who are against the lockdowns, despite the fact that they supported the protests that accelerated the spread of the virus a few months previously. Now that Trump is gone and Biden is in the White House, Reddit now all of a sudden loves the police and the military. Reddit is now comprised of lunatics. Being woke is a mental illness. We’re now in the dark ages, except that this time most people understand that Earth is round.

Reddit is based in California. So are Facebook, Twitter, Apple, Google and Amazon. And these sites are censoring people. Silencing people. What do you call it when big corporations engage in authoritarian behaviour but not the government? Fascism. Yes, that’s right, fascism. And Antifa, who claim to be anti-fascist, are supporting this. Yes, they’re communists, but they are working for fascists and they don’t even see it. Both communism (including Marxism) and fascism (including nazism) are dangerous. But getting back to California, what the fuck is up with this state?

I think it's kinda funny how the hive mind can do a total 180, especially in regards to the police and the whole antifa thing. Like hypocrisy much? You can tell they are going uber left when they criticize centrists and saying moderates are too "far-right".... There's definitely something going on with the moderation of the site, I don't even recognize it anymore, nothing's what it used to be and they're not even being subtle about narratives being pushed. I noticed it when the lesbian subs got taken over. I stopped following the lgbt sub when my last straw was seeing a post about the military and everyone was going off hating on them...

Amazon is based in Washington. I assume the others are based in Silicon Valley, and their local woke employees probably largely live or lived at some point in San Francisco, ground zero for this genderfuckery.

You’re right. I think Amazon and Microsoft are headquartered around the outskirts of Seattle. Seattle is the San Francisco of Washington State.

Bingo. The wokeness in big tech did not come from without but from within. It started festering in the tech industry long before 2020. Even as far back as 2014 when this was still confined to Tumblr, the new software grads were lapping that shit up and going to work in SV tech, both at startups and at the big companies. It was inevitable.

The Wokeness in Big Tech was accelerated around 2016 and 2017. Partly because of Trump, but also because of the Skeptic Community promoting this app called Candid, for which Skeptics got paid sponsorship money for. Candid has AI technologies to track people and it was used to go after people who opposed woke culture. That’s right. Skeptics who opposed SJWs ended up helping SJWs without realising it until it was too late. Thanks MundaneMatt.

Interesting, I knew about the acceleration of course (I have a previous comment about Trump becoming the anti-woke boogeyman that "unified" the "left" SJWs), but had no idea about Candid - sounds like the kind of foot-shooting I'd expect from the "Skeptic community".

The Skeptics are a shower of wankers. Also, not sceptical at all. They fell for the Candid scam hook, line and sinker, because it’s all about their egos. They became a community after Gamergate, and between 2014 and 2017 they grew rapidly as they criticised feminism and Islamic fundamentalism. Then in late 2017, it came out that some members of the Skeptic Community were hosting servers of YouTubers they wanted to dox. Skeptics like Kraut and Tea, Jeff Holiday and Based Mama were running that server. It later came out that Candid was a scam, and one former Skeptic by the name of Harmful Opinions exposed Candid. He got harassed by other Skeptics like MundaneMatt for this. The Skeptics organised a free speech conference in Kilroy for April 2018, but the conference was exposed as a scam in December 2017 after it was revealed that YouTubers who were advertised as speaking the event were banned from the event for having views that Based Mama didn’t like. And that was end of the Skeptics. And it still got worse, when it came out in August 2018 that MundaneMatt was flagging down channels of YouTubers who criticised him over Candid.

So where are the Skeptics at now? The ones that were actually good, like Andy Warski, Bearing, Ethan Ralph, Dave Cullen and Mister Metokur (he was affiliated with the crowd but not really a part of it) have distanced themselves from the Skeptics. They no longer support Trump, by the way. MundaneMatt still has a channel, but his videos are about him going to Walmart to review Blu-ray boxes (I’m not making this up). Kraft and Tea likes to get hit in the crotch every now and then. Jeff Holiday let’s his wife cheat on him and has an expansive dildo collection that his stepson is fully aware of. Sargon of Akkad tried to run in the European Parliament elections and not only did he fail, he destroyed UKIP. David Sherratt went to America to woo a girl he had a crush on, only for this girl to be busy and only be available to hang out with him for one day out of the whole week he was in the States - when she explained to him that her grandmother was dying, David Sherratt said he was hoping she’d "put in a little more effort". The Skeptic Community was like the Titanic, really.
