This demonstrates that GG is indeed a right-wing reactionary movement but one not politically-aware enough to know what a reactionary is.
I've been testing GamerGate's claim to be "left" by posting opinions nearly identical to Noam Chomsky. Result: Extreme reactionary outrage.

Wikipedia: A reactionary is a person who holds political viewpoints that favor a return to a previous state (the status quo ante) in society

@radicalbytes You're quoting Wikipedia to define a movement which has rejected that site's assertion of said movement? GR8 b8 m8! -
@Bitter_one13@radicalbytes Wait, you're disputing this definition of "reactionary" because Gamergaters are unhappy with their Wiki-Article? -
@cupidissimo@radicalbytes Actually, no. But I am saying it is a double whammy of being a good way to piss off ProGG. -
@cupidissimo@radicalbytes Hi@TofuYoshi ! Please refer to the above for clarification. -
@Bitter_one13@radicalbytes@TofuYoshi If somebody gets upset just by mentioning wiki, I'm not sure the'd be open to reasonable arguments.

In serious geo-political discourse suggesting state violence begets terrorism is not controversial. Yet GG reacts with indignant outrage.

@radicalbytes@CANONSOUNDWAVE I feel like GamerGate are the kind of 'left-wing' that prefers Ron Paul to Barack Obama. -
@radicalbytes@CANONSOUNDWAVE Their own definition of themselves as liberal rests in part on a libertarian test. -
@vk_hm@radicalbytes Libertarian has quickly become a synonym for "doesn't understand society or politics or how breathing works".
