Why do they keep pushing this stupid narrative of black women playing games?

No RPG elements? It probably goes here!

The ideology is just window dressing - they just hate you and want to demoralize you. They don't believe there's really an untapped market out there, that's just their petty lying excuse to bombard you with propaganda.
I think this is foolhardy, I believe wokeism is to them what Christianity is to you. It'd be like them saying "their Christianity is just window dressing", it is obviously not and wokeism is obviously not. It is their religion and needs to be treated with the severity it deserves. When you look at an SJW you are looking at someone in the throes of ultimate religious thrall, willing to die for their moral convictions.

Every single screaming SJW you come across is literally living through their dark night of the soul 24/7. It's foolish to underestimate this.

Both of you are right because both groups exist within the left: the cynical manipulators and the true believers. The low-level manipulators are just trying to enhance their social position and the high-level ones are actively trying to subvert the nation. The true believers work towards the same thing, but for different reasons. Both are probably outnumbered by the petty conformers, but they matter little because they're not out to accomplish anything.

This is an excellent and true point. The sjw **** is part of the religion of modernity. Modernity as a religion is so strong it has subverted most other major religions.

I linked to a blog post I came across on this very thing a couple of weeks ago. The "people in charge" definitely don't believe it, but are using it to their advantage. And that's mostly by manipulating the rank-and-file who definitely DO believe it.

I recently bought a polish cavalry sabre and I've decided I'm cool autistic enough to wear it at my waist when I go hiking. I of course practice the blade in my spare time as any god fearing man should.
I don't think you're doing it right. What use is a cavalry saber going to do for you on foot? You wouldn't have enough momentum to do proper damage with it that way. You should bring it with you when you are in your car or on a bike, instead.

I will gain momentum by running at you very fast with my legs strengthened by hiking.

Buying a sword is ok. Mastering the sword is cool.
Mastering the sword is okay. Mastering the shovel is better. Consider how useful it is to be the master of the sword when you cannot carry one in public, at least without drawing a lot of awkward attention, pretty much anywhere. Meanwhile, you can carry around a shovel unchallenged and unnoticed by anyone, and it is always useful to have a shovel around in case you need to dig a hole or trench.

I'm remembering that autist who tried to face a wave of BLM rioters with a longsword. I was going to paste a gif of that but can't find it. What has happened? I remember being able to actually find things with google. Either I'm getting old and technologically inept or Google really sucks these days.

Nope, Google is actively ****. If they even bother to process your search at all, it regularly fails known-tests where it fails to find things that you already know are there and had previously found in the past. If someone could find the Old Google and post it back up, it would undoubtedly work better, being the OLD Google.

Yes. This has been conclusively proven multiple times multiple ways.
I often use Yandex to find stuff because of how perverted by things like the DMCA and Eurotrash laws Google has become.
And the commercialization of search results is a big problem as well, of course.

They have some kind of agreement with reddit and Quora, from what I've heard. Not that long ago I read an article aout the latest change to Google's algorithm. Traffic directed to reddit from Google was up around 500% from what I remember, and Quora also very high. Given that placement of search results for a given index is necessarily zero-sum, they've purposely made finding things worse.

Zero-sum would imply that bad search results are paying to displace good search results.

The thing is, this clearly fails, because when I search for things where I already know exactly where they are and that they ARE there, because they've been there for 20 years, I don't see them being displaced by anything. I just get nothing at all, for a thing I know is there, on a location I know Google can see, because it successfully finds other things there. Nothing is being displaced by purchased results. There is simply nothing found at all, because Google failed at its one simple job, a job it was doing correctly in the past. Ergo, it is now objectively worse at even the most basic task.
