Bluesky Post (this was also posted on twitter)

I was hoping to find a statement from the aggressor, but it seems to be too early.

    This is what manufacturing consent looks like. This increasing barrage of news about a topic, most of which is based on nuggets of truth but stretched so thin you can see your hand on the other side. The idea is to make you believe something needs to be done just with the sheer volume of time spent talking about something.

    The reality is that the ADL is a Zionist front that is full of shit even on their best day, and they want control over Valve the same way they have the CEOs or owners of Reddit, Meta, and even smaller players like Bumble under their thumb. You watch, they will pressure the government to act and then when the squeeze is coming, offer Valve an easy out by joining their special advisory board on tech.

      So instead we should let racists, misogynists and lgbtphobes make people believe that something needs to be done to protect white men from oppression?

          You’re saying that calling for something to be done on one side (censorship) is manufacturing consent, well so is letting extremists spread their message that something needs to be done about white men oppression.

            No I’m saying the entire premise is bullshit. You’re talking about a conversation that isn’t even taking place and I’m saying the ADL is trying to convince you it is because it benefits them if you believe it.

              What? The conversation has been about Valve being criticized for the lack of moderation on their forums for a while now, keep up buddy! You’re saying that it’s a bad thing to push for censorship, I’m saying it’s just as bad to let some fucking Nazi spread hate on their forums.
