Narrative Warfare: Irvine Is Also Clown World

Blizzard Entertainment has not only sanctioned a Chinese Hearthstone player based out of Hong Kong for supporting the protests, taking his prize money and banning him, but has also fired the sportcasters who interviewed him. This has not gone over well with gamers in the West. Even Mark Kern's upset about this, and he's been one of the most sober-minded people in the business about these controversies.

The reality of the situation is not a good one, in practical terms. Terror House Magazine sums it up in this Twitter thread:

The only way this could be stopped is if the federal government bans the Chinese from investing in American companies.

But they're not going to do that.

Nor are they going to force social media companies to stop basing their Terms of Service on what Angela Merkel wants.

The most you can do as an individual is to stop giving Blizzard Entertainment your money. To do more than that requires gathering into a group, forming a team, and organizing effective political pressure upon your government to kill everything that makes it viable for a corporation like Blizzard Entertainment to do this. That is a grind worse than any in any Blizzard game, and it's an opposed effort because the Chicoms actively monitor their efforts to literally Pay To Win- and that's what this is.

This is how the Chicoms exercise soft power: they finance foreign industries, cultural especially in the West, until they have a critical mass of dependency. Then they use that position to exercise leverage over the foreigner, turning them into de facto agents of the Party. As Terror House notes, the European Union uses its bureaucracy and courts to achieve the same end via gatekeeping access to the European Common Market.

And yes, both are already deeply influencing politics in the Anglosphere via these tactics as well as more common plays such as surreptitious financing of political campaigns and purchasing regulation favoring their ends. How in the hell do you think Aussie, Kiwi, Yankee, Maple Leaf, and Brit policies enabling this scheme get put into place? Clown World may have its roots in the Enlightenment, but that doesn't mean it isn't exploited by others for more immediate ends that are nonetheless congruent with the Death Cult's objectives.

And if this doesn't piss you off, go read Anonymous Conservative. The Chicoms would've financed far worse if the God-Emperor had not won, and the EU would've supported it.

This is not an isolated incident. This is a clear follow-on from the Diablo Immortal cockup from last year, revealing the extent of Chinese influence over Blizzard Entertainment due to Chicom financing via their agent Tencent. Expect more of this leverage being exercised over Western gaming before it's expunged, and don't be a retard thinking that just closing your wallet will fix it; it won't. Only wielding the Sword of the State will do it, which is why abstention from public affairs is no longer an option, and the God-Emperor--for my fellow Americans--is fortunately willing and able to do just that.
