These hard core anarchists who's entire lives are dedicated to actually fighting a struggle and living by their beliefs were told they had no part in this fight because they were mostly just white men and part of the problem.

You want to know why occupy got violent? Why black bloc stepped in? Because they were pushed by these people. I bled for that shit wreck, day in and day out and had to see it destroyed and our allies alienated. All they cared about was paperwork, spirit fingers, and moral superiority.įuck them. They were never the ones in cuffs, they were never the ones tear gassed or maced. They would suffer the oppression they craved so much through us by proxy. When it fucking came down to it, they didn't care about ows. They somehow became the leaders simply because they started controlling how people were allowed to communicate. Any second police would show their face, they'd be gone. Instead, as soon as sundown came and the last meeting was held, they would bolt back to their high rent apartments. These types wouldn't even stay in the camps with the rest of us. San Francisco had it the worst, of course. These people would come in only to shout orders and rain down guilt trips. Less and less it became about the movement and more about id politics. As I traveled south from Oregon it only got worse.

The drastic change in the movement came in a wave. I was part of 4 different occupy camps all along the west coast.

KotakuInAction is built around a core focus on reasonable, friendly discussion of the issues related to gaming culture, and those involved in it. It is a community that allows the exchange of information, supports the ongoing discussion of media ethics, and protects the right of the individual to embrace their personal interests in entertainment and fandom. It is a community that organizes to hold the media accountable to the concept of artistic freedom by standing up for the artist, the developer, the writer, the filmmaker, and all who enjoy the freedom to create, explore, and expand. KotakuInAction is a community that condemns willful censorship, exclusion, harassment, and abuse. We believe much of the current media is complicit in the proliferation of an ideology that squashes individuality, divides along political lines, and is stifling to the freedom of creativity that is the foundation of human expression. We have observed numerous incidents involving conflicts of interest and agenda-pushing within media which we feel are damaging to the credibility of the medium and harm the community at large. We believe that the current standards of ethics in the media have alienated the artists, developers, and creators who perpetuate the things we love, enjoy, and enthusiastically build communities around. KotakuInAction is a platform for open discussion of the issues where gaming, nerd culture, the Internet, and media collide.
