Poetic image. And very true. I was a light gamer, and never did Holla Forums. Much more /k/ and Holla Forums. /K/ focused on prepping because in our hearts we knew we were the last of a dying breed, destined to some dystopia future that we couldn't figure out how to avoid, but openly rejected Holla Forums because we felt it would only bring other men with guns into our lives earlier than needed. Holla Forums was lost in endless arguments and lost hope, with the collapse of Ron Paul and libertarian hope we ended up left wallowing in hopeless despair unable to change what we could see clearly was coming and why. We were trapped and stuck, no way to move forward and simply accept there was no saving what we saw and valued, instead both corners had to turn to a hope of a better world after hell itself comes to cleanse the world of all that we knew.
Then came gamergate. Mostly ignored by us. Those few whom traveled into Holla Forums brought back stories and tells of a new battle. We watched and warned you about what was happening and why, and exactly how and why you would fail. Every misstep we were there to warn you, to inform you, to mock you when it blew up even after all you did. Misery loves company and most of us had lost that spark of hope, instead had come to accept our place was to await an bloody and violent end.
But gamers are a different breed. Min/Max. Play to win. Uncovering every possible exploit. Delving into stories and filling in and growing things beyond some limited developer viewpoint scriptwriting. Your failure in gamer gate brought you and your kind into OUR fold. You energized us in a way that we ourselves never could. You had your new mission. Holla Forums wrote it for you and we didn't even realize we did it. You had your new voice, /k/ had it in strides and an entire normie population that wanted leaders whom didn't cow down before liberals, their ready made patriot grounding gave pride and discipline with a host of legitimacy ready built behind it. And we had our new army. And army made up of NCO's, Officers and support personnel rolled up into each and every person. Self disciplined and motivated and having no need to follow other 'normal' faggots for direction. And we all had our same enemies.
Your loss in gamer gate was sad I am sure. But it was the greatest and most epic win our people have had in over a century. Stories and songs should be sung of that glorious moment in history. That was our Alamo moment. The point future historians should look back onto and say, that is when the tides changed. You completed us. You made us as we are today.
You took those lessons of gamer gate we warned you about and roared forward. A fucking cripple from your esteemed ranks built this place even as half chan Holla Forums floundered knowing our collapse was coming but not capable of moving ourselves. You built this place as a group, made a safe land, a home, a castle to defend and many of us moved here with you inspired. We even cemented our own religion, culture and peoples in so doing. A huge number caught by halfchan's despair were forced here into the ready arms of an group molding itself into a force ready and capable of waging the right kind of war to win our peoples back.
You are the muscle, the machine, the great power behind all of this. They came for you in your safe place. I praise kek today for that moment.
Because in turn, you forged yourselves and us into an Army on the march.
