It’s always interesting to know what John Walker’s take on a book is. I’m pleased to learn that he appears to have thought rather well of SJWs Always Double Down in his review of it.
The SJW convergence of the major technology and communication companies which increasingly dominate the flow of news and information and the public discourse: Google (and its YouTube), Facebook, Twitter, Amazon, and the rest, previously covert, has now become explicit. They no longer feign neutrality to content, or position themselves as common carriers. Now, they overtly put their thumb on the scale of public discourse, pushing down conservative and nationalist voices in search rankings, de-monetising or banning videos that oppose the slaver agenda, “shadow banning” dissenting voices or terminating their accounts entirely. Payment platforms and crowd-funding sites enforce an ideological agenda and cut off access to those they consider insufficiently on board with the collectivist, globalist party line. The high tech industry, purporting to cherish “diversity”, has become openly hostile to anybody who dares dissent: firing them and blacklisting them from employment at other similarly converged firms.
It would seem a dark time for champions of liberty, believers in reward for individual merit rather than grievance group membership, and other forms of sanity which are now considered unthinkable among the unthinking. This book provides a breath of fresh air, a sense of hope, and practical information to navigate a landscape populated by all too many non-playable characters who imbibe, repeat, and enforce the Narrative without questioning or investigating how it is created, disseminated in a co-ordinated manner across all media, and adjusted (including Stalinist party-line overnight turns on a dime) to advance the slaver agenda.
Vox Day walks through the eight stages of SJW convergence of an organisation from infiltration through evading the blame for the inevitable failure of the organisation once fully converged, illustrating the process with real-world examples and quotes from SJWs and companies infested with them. But the progression of the disease is not irreversible, and even if it is not arrested, there is still hope for the industry and society as a whole (not to minimise the injury and suffering inflicted on innocent and productive individuals in the affected organisations).
Speaking of book reviews, Rorshach waxes extremely enthusiastic about Alt-Hero #2 and Arkhaven Comics in his somewhat belated video review of it.
How am I going to find any DC comic book that does anything near as interesting as what I’m seeing in this book, in this come book here? It’s not going to be possible…. The industry writers, they absolutely disgust me. They are cowardly, they’re far left extremists, they’re not going to tell you the truth about anything in the world today. They’re just going to continue to double down on the far left nonsense and that’s not what you get in the pages of Alt-Hero issue number two. This really is doing everything that I’ve wanted comic books do for a long, long time and this is going to be the future of comic books.
If he likes AH#2, he’s really going to like AH#4….
