We had the best consumer revolt, folks. The best. It was so successful -- let me tell you -- that these people are still crying about it six years later. It's sad. Six years -- we wrote a few emails, and now journalists are saying we control the White House. Their outlets are failing, and we control the White House. We didn't want to dictate the course of the 21st century. We just wanted to play video games, folks. We just wanted to play video games.

I've got to say that politifact is probably right here. Search any 3 digit number and there are tons of articles.

It's... just a smiling black woman. How the fuck is that a stereotype, Quaker?

I was kicking something similar around in my head. Gamergate did it, and they were so successful that journos are still crying about it six years later. Email campaigns apparently work.

Agree with this take completely. If Starbucks sticks by this (which granted, is a huge "if"), they will have surrendered to us for a change. We need to reward that if we want other people to follow suit.

It would be absolutely amazing to just hover multiple surveillance drones over them day and night. Livestream the whole experiment 24/7 from multiple angles. Editors could even make a reality show out of it.

Officially, we'd be monitoring for human rights abuses. On a deeper level, the scientific info could well prove valuable in the future.

In reality, though? We'd be doing it to laugh at them. Because this shit is hilarious.

I think he is, Cis.

You were there for Gamergate. You saw how Kotaku and all the others acted... well, exactly like this. And what happened? They were sold off, more than once, for less and less. Journos are being laid off left and right. The cultural reach of Gamergate's targets have never been lower.

It's true that we had no idea the rot spread to... literally everything. But the fact that we had to move on to boss fights doesn't take away from the fact that we're headed in the right direction. We've seen this playbook, and it didn't work.

You at the barricades listen to this

No one is coming to help you to fight

You have no chance

No chance at all

Give up your guns or die

It's not perfect -- the rebels in Les Mis were sympathetic figures, and starving them out is possibly the wiser choice here -- but it's pretty good.

The pay gap one was such a flop that I can't find it anymore, but here's the Super Bowl spot.

They jumped on board the woke train early with literal Amy Schumer commercials talking about the "pay gap."

Somebody in the thread:

I'm trying to retweet whatever I can find to spread word about petitions after I sign them, but it's like Twitter's actively trying to shut it all up.

If true, this means the lefty elites have ordered a retreat on this. Excellent news.

I say make a short documentary of it. Get good screenshots (and probably archives) of both your comments and the replies. Some slick editing, a good voiceover, and you could be on to something here.
