    They're frozen earlier in my opinion, Gamegate was simply the rollout of the more populist forms of NRx philosophical frameworks, which developed in response to the tech crash and the credit crunch invalidating Libertarianism and Republican Evangelicalism.

    So I'm gonna take a standard explanation, when the PB is under stress, Chud ideologies grow. This means as the Covid crisis deepens we'll see new stuff develop.

    And I think we are, We're seeing the beginning of a new one in the Anti-Vax movement as the Alt-Right attempt to co-opt and absorb individualist anarchist and left-lib tendencies without strong socialist groundings. On the other side, the TERF movement is trying to pull away nominally left-leaning people with the appeal to squick that characterised anti-irish/italian/black/brown/LGBT/etc movements. It's hard to remember how split the Left was over AIDS, but it wasn't good, and many on the "conservative" side ended up founding Spiked and other proto NRx/Alt-Right movements.

    Note how these are movements with far more offline presence and holds on the establishment. It's deeply concerning.
