Wouldn't be too surprised if the next generations of geeks decide minorities and women are the problem, and thus exclude them without giving a damn about the social backlash. After all, what's a few more insults spewn at them? They are social outcasts already.

It does depend, though. Sites like this and 4chan are incredibly autistic (often literally, I actually think some of the crazier people here are mentally ill) but they're also pretty hostile to the left, though they do accept the opposite end of the spectrum in the form of far-right loonies like the people in A&H for "my enemy's enemy" reasons.
I've seen the "community starts out alright and then gets overrun by deranged trannies and tankies" phenomenon before, but I don't think it's for that reason. I've mostly seen it on reddit, and the typical redditor very much fits the loony-left stereotype so communities filling up with Stalinist cartoon addicts isn't that surprising, especially once Chapo Trap House got banned so the people from there migrated to the rest of the site. I'd say those losers are the real geeks rather than the people they're pushing out, though. I can't imagine you get laid easily raving about Maoism.
This won't happen because the geeks themselves aren't all white. I used to use a classical liberal-ish political Discord mostly consisting of former redditors and whites were only about half if you don't count Latinos. There wasn't a vent channel on that one, though, so it's probably a bit of a different demographic politically speaking. No trannies either, though there was a resident lolcow (a promiscuous bisexual furry anarcho-communist Vaush fan who lived in Kansas of all places).

Avatar specifically is now on Netflix, and it’s honestly a good show. Much more fun to watch then whatever’s on Cartoon Network, anyways.

They have been extra angry at the farmers lately.
TIL Old Bay is colonizer food. These people are miserable sacks of flesh.

These are the same people who rage online about Trump and expect farmers to bow down and obey their command. I'll like to see them farm for their own food. They'd go crazy!

Hmm, maybe I was wrong about him needing a thread. He gets funnier the deeper you go.
Farm subsidies are a bad idea. They prop up large corporations, and encourage people to waste resources by planting crops that will never be harvested. This also affects the diet since things like corn, soy and sugar are put into everything as a result of them being cheap.

Not so much. They are both a blessing and a curse tbh. On one side, when you have farm subsidies you give people and families an incentive to stay in the countryside making a living, so all your population doesn't end up in the city living like half starved hobos scrounging for jobs with which they will be able to barely pay rent. As well, you ensure that you can have plenty of food and affordable prices for everyone so they get fed and both ends winning as a result (tho this could be achieved inf farmers sold directly to their community instead of needing to rely on middlemen, who take around 60-70% of the profits. Buy your food locally always). Also there are a lot of side benefits, like active foresting activity and side jobs being actively created as a consequence (like plague control, hunting, veterinarians...), control on the status of local fauna and less brush fires since the land is usually cleared of underbush.
But it also has it's downsides and not only the ones you say. Most farm subsidies are given in accordance to the amount of land the owner has. And of course, the more land the owner has the richer he is by default. This makes the rich farmers considerably richer while the poor farmers are kept afloat by a thin margin. As well, industrial farming (the one that takes up most subsidies) is the one that tends to be more destructive to the ecosystem compared to small farms, since industrail farming requires enormous amounts of resources to keep on churning goods (if you wonder why there are water shortages in California, this is the answer). As well, in order to keep everything balanced out you will need to put quotas in the market (like the EU does) because you don't want the farmer to earn peanuts for his work, but at the same time you don't want to fleece the consumer. Therefore, you need to put a balance between demand and supply. This was the way many diary farms in Europe were forced to close forever because they couldn't sell their products and they didn't had enough money to scrap the whole project and start anew.
This is all i can recount by the EU's agrarian policy (which chugs roughly 60% of the EU's money btw). I'm sure there are many other things to consider, but overall... It's good and bad.

Farm subsidies are a great idea because it stabilizes food prices.

It's also cheaper than sugar which doesn't grow well in large swaths of the US.
I'm not saying it's a perfect system, but it makes more sense then having your population dependent on the ebs and flows of market commodities
It would be ridiculous if price of a box of a cereal quadrupled because a bad harvest year. Subsidizes allow for market stabilization which in turn is the backbone of the economy and why every major country and region from Canada the the European Union has them.

Honestly, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case.
Part of why so many geeks these days are atheists or some flavor of witch is because the Religious Right went after them hard back in the 80's and 90's.
Even if the bulk of the Sci-Fi and Fantasy legends of the Boomers, Silent Generation, Greatest Generation, and earlier were usually devout Christians (J.R.R. Tolkien, Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson, Orson Scott Card, George Lucas) or at least were observant Jews (Stan Lee, Isaac Asimov) the majority of Generation X, Millennial, and Early Zoomer geeks are atheists or at least anti-Christian because of how badly the Religious Right acted in the last culture war and how the geeks were targeted by them in particular.

You might think that this is already happening in a way in how Stormtroopers are more iconic than rebels and authoritarian characters/settings are being costantly humored here and there. And the fact that companies that make the games are trying to curb this sort of shit just makes fans either leave or double down on their fascination for authoritarian things.

The current generation is being bombarded by woke nonsense.
I suspect Maher is right about this being the sole reason for the rise of Trump.
“I just can’t let people like that take over this country” is the mantra of your average Trump supporter.
