Even The Borg didn't assimilate and destroy things as effectively as Carl does with memes.

"We are the Liberalists. Relevance, as you know it, is over. We will add your cultural and memelogical distinctiveness to our own. Memeing at us is futile."

[Eekum Bokum]

For fuck sake sargon it was just a bunch of gamers sperging me included get over it

 

[Secret Asshole]

I cannot believe what I just listened to. This is such a monumentally stupid idea. Create more SJWs, an 'international firestorm', James Woods will retweet it....I'm at a fucking loss. Sargon is promoting this everywhere.

The only person on board is (was) involved is Mundane Matt and then they just started fucking mocking him on Andy's stream. I'm really at a loss here for just how fucking re.tarded this is.

 

[Mapo Tofu]

For the first time ever, Andy is the smartest guy in the room.

How the fuck does Sargon not see how intensely fucking autistic this "get Trump to tweet Gamergate!!" shit is? I thought he'd move on after a day or two, as soon as he sobered up.

It's like the rationalist skeptic liberalismistism version of "Bernie can still win, guyz!!!"

LMAOOOoo GG2.0 will cause an "International firestorm" and "the Death of Social Media"‽? jfc...

Why does he want Social media to die if he will only be relevant there.
Also Gamergate 2.0 would be about what?
GamerGate was about ethics in journalism and this one is about fat edgelords?

Metokur probably has the right idea: Sargon wants to be relevant (read: popular) again, and gamergate was when he was super relevant. He basically wants to revert time back to 2014, "ONLY THIS TIME WE DO IT MY WAY!".

 

[Miller]

I still think that this is happening because Sargon - as a true redditor - didn't get Bannon's joke about GG.

Why does he want Social media to die if he will only be relevant there.

Maybe because he's forever banned on Twitter so if he can't play with the toy then he will destroy it.
>Also Gamergate 2.0 would be about what?
This time it's not even about video games, it's to Trigger the Libs™. Funny how it sounds like the gaming press' narrative about GG being a harassment campaign.

I cannot believe what I just listened to. This is such a monumentally stupid idea. Create more SJWs, an 'international firestorm', James Woods will retweet it....I'm at a fucking loss. Sargon is promoting this everywhere.

It's worth to notice that Sargon's behavior could ruin or at least ridicule Trump and his relatively known supporters (James Woods, Bannon, Farrage, Woes) if they take his bait.

Sargons delusions of grandeur have only gotten to the point that he legitimately thinks that the president of the United States of America actually cares about video games let alone him. Sargon needs to go for a short bye bye to the Looney bin before he convinces himself that he is god incarnite.

Next he will believe himself to be as cool as Vlad Tepes

I have a lot of trouble believing that anyone can be so stupid that they don't notice that the reaction to a bad idea is universal confusion and derision, and yet plows ahead as if nothing is wrong.

Carl said to Andy something like "if people are going to talk about me anyway, it might as well be about something I'm interested in." Is it possible he's smart enough to get stuck defending gamergate for a few months instead of age of the child/white nibbas/you can quote me/i wouldn't even.../etc?

 

[Toucan]

I like it how he was totally trolling us about gamergate 2 but at the same time he really wants to make it happen.

 

[Particle Bored]

If we wanna classify Sargonisms as trademark quips, I think "You're just wrong" might actually beat out "Have you read Locke."

A powerhouse of convincing debate tactics, to be sure.

 

[Not even once]

Part of me still thinks this is his idea of a troll.

Perhaps I'm trying too hard to find reason in his idiocy but bear with me for a sec...

- Sargon has a habit of misunderstanding and/or fucking up pretty much any kind of online culture or tradition he gets his hands on - why should trolling be any different?

- He has done some ridiculous things lately that has made him the laughing stock in most of the places he pretends to be an expert of. It makes a lot more sense to me that he wants to 'get back' at those laughing, rather than recruit them.

- He has an unhealthy hateboner on for Jim because, while senpai noticed him, he mostly mocked and laughed at him.

- Jim is one of the most well known trolls out there currently.

So maybe, just maybe, Sargon thinks that acting like a giant moron for a few weeks and going on every show that has mocked him, is a fantastic troll. He'll turn around and say: "See I got you all talking about me, didn't I? *chuckle* Jokes on you."

Now yes, this is the equivalent of covering yourself in shit and running naked through the village, only to say "Joke's on you!" when everyone comes out to laugh at the idiot. But this IS Sargon we're talking about here.

 

[Juan But Not Forgotten]

I don't know what is worse - the fact that he is giving advice to Sargon or that he is filming it right on the street, while people watch him rambling to himself about some dude.

 

[Silence of the Troons]

I like it how he was totally trolling us about gamergate 2 but at the same time he really wants to make it happen.

Please, it is futile for a mere mortal like you to understand the grand 4D chess schemes of Sargon of Applebees. Just you wait and see, he will make The Donald notice him and bring on Gamergate 2.0! He has a suit!

 

[Bob Barker]

16- If he is losing a debate he will try to derail it by accusing his opponent of being autistic and asking why anything matters.

Or a collectivist or any other label he can think of.

 

[JustStopDude]

I cannot image that President Trump could even identify a gaming system by name, let alone give enough of a fuck to care about gamer gate with a tweet.

President Trump is many things...but a shameless puppet for a random failure on the internet is not one of them.

“Look, having good games — my uncle was a great gamer and developer and computer engineer, Dr. John Trump at MIT; good genes, very good genes, OK, very smart, the Wharton School of Finance, very good, very smart — you know, if you’re a conservative Republican, if I were a liberal, if, like, OK, if I ran as a liberal Democrat, they would say I’m one of the smartest people anywhere in the world — it’s true! — but when you’re a conservative Republican they try — oh, do they do a number — that’s why I always start off: Went to Wharton, was a good student, went there, bought this, played that, built a fortune — you know I have to give my like achievment score all the time, because we’re a little disadvantaged — but you look at gamergate, the thing that really bothers me — it would have been so easy, and it’s not as important as these lives are (games are fun; my uncle explained that to me many, many years ago, the fun and that was 35 years ago; he would explain the fun of the consoles in the future and he was right — who would have thought?), but when you look at what’s going on with the five guys — now it used to be four, now it’s five — but when it was three and even now, I would have said it’s all in the messenger; fellas, and it is fellas because, you know, they don’t, they haven’t figured that the sceptics are smarter right now than the SJWs, so, you know, it’s gonna take them about another 150 years — but the games journalists are great negotiators, the shills are great negotiators, so, and they, they just killed, they just killed us.”

Compare and contrast: in about 15 minutes, Vee explains why he thinks GG1 is still relevant, why he cares, what he thinks GG2 will do. It's still a really stupid point, but at least I understand where he's going with it

Carl: for several days has been failing to articulate his idea in a way that someone can understand what he's trying to accomplish, culminating in getting outsmarted by Andy Fucking Warski

 

[John Carmack]

Pretty good video here.
