Karl was the guy driving the Tiger tank.
Has Karl burned every bridge possible? If so, god damn that was fast.
And most in the '2A community' do genuinely believe in rights for all... but they don't want to be seen as commie lovers, or prove that Lenin saying about rope true.I don't know about every bridge, but he's going to be poison to a lot of guntubers and other 2A people. He's a relatively well known personality, and like as not, news of him acting like a complete spaz lately will travel quickly. Outfits like Brownells and Varusteleka will immediately cut ties with him (or as mentioned above, simply act like he doesn't exist) and that news will also travel quickly to other companies that might have worked with him. The 2A community is big, but really interconnected and anyone toxic is immediately called out as such. He'll hang on to his core followers I'm sure, but aside from troon squad types and the occasional commie retard, he's not going to gather any new ones, and the troons and commies will absolutely drive his normie/casual followers (if there are any left) away.
Long story short, Karl has burned bridges with all the reasonable people in the community. He can still try to appeal to Breadtubers, but that community is liable to turn on each other on a dime, and they already have issues with West Coast (California and Washington/Oregon, mostly) gun grabbers amongst their midst wanting to eject the so-called "2A advocates". We should expect some kind of falling-out/split among their ranks within the next couple of years if the gun-grabbing rhetoric continues going as it's been.I don't know about every bridge, but he's going to be poison to a lot of guntubers and other 2A people.

I tend to draw a hard line at "you literally said you want to take my guns away", but I might be on the tolerant end of the spectrum.And most in the '2A community' do genuinely believe in rights for all... but they don't want to be seen as commie lovers, or prove that Lenin saying about rope true.
That's my line too, really. If you're not willing to tolerate the same position, then there's no room for meeting in the middle.I tend to draw a hard line at "you literally said you want to take my guns away", but I might be on the tolerant end of the spectrum.
The fact that Karl clearly thinks this is an unreasonable position continues to be hilarious.
SoF even had it’s own pre-internet Lolcow affiliated with it:Soldier of Fortune... Fuck, I haven't read those in a long time. They had tons of great information and awesome covers.
The early-2000s is pre-internet now?SoF even had it’s own pre-internet Lolcow affiliated with it:

Damn I completely forgot about that, kinda amazing how people used to be able to get away with that shit. While I wouldnt call it pre internet it was definitely much more archaic but infinitely more based.SoF even had it’s own pre-internet Lolcow affiliated with it:

I guess I misspoke, I probably should have said a “pre-Chris Chan” Internet lolcowThe early-2000s is pre-internet now?
Also video starts off with the Democracy Now cat lady oh nooooo
I’m pretty sure that the guy who made this documentary is a bit of a libcuck (it’s been a while but I remember checking his subscriptions and he was subbed to Destiny, so not the typical flavor of woke but still a liberal), I still like his documentaries though, they are how I learned about John McAfeeThe early-2000s is pre-internet now?

I will add to the autism by arguing that the true mainstreaming of consumer internet was not until AOL's adoption of Usenet in September 1993 (the proverbial Eternal September).Pre internet would have to be the 1960s if we want to get really autistic about it. 1980s was the rise of consumer internet.
Wasn’t the creation of the IPhone in 2007 also a significant point in the normie-fication of the Internet?I will add to the autism by arguing that the true mainstreaming of consumer internet was not until AOL's adoption of Usenet in September 1993 (the proverbial Eternal September).
Yes but that was more like mopping up people who couldn't work or afford computers and the welfare phones didn't help. But the first truly mainstream internet was AOL on Usenet.Wasn’t the creation of the IPhone in 2007 also a significant point in the normie-fication of the Internet?
This was truly the ground zero. The warning for everyone that the Internet as a place for smart people to discuss things was over.Yes but that was more like mopping up people who couldn't work or afford computers and the welfare phones didn't help.

Thus is the fate of all mainstream things.This was truly the ground zero. The warning for everyone that the Internet as a place for smart people to discuss things was over.
A second contender would be the release of Windows 95 which many OEMs bundled with AOL, CompuServe, and several other normie-geared services.Yes but that was more like mopping up people who couldn't work or afford computers and the welfare phones didn't help.
