Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
A question for you all, from your resident devil's advocate, on the culture wars front that is tangibly related to GAW:
So, I know that there is a rather large distain for "sportsball", with many of us considering sporting events to be fronts for child trafficking, and sports in general being a circus component of the "bread and circuses" that seduces the masses from waking up to the evils that plague our world.
However, from my observations on the culture wars, there is a large craving for non-woke (or anti-woke) entertainment in audiences in general. The Super Mario Movie, the new Godzilla movie that was released this year, and The Five Nights at Freddy's movie are some examples in recent memory that are relatively non-woke that did extremely well. In addition, the UFC and MMA sports in general seem to be praised by many in MAGA and quite a few on GAW as being based.
So, I think our problem with "sportsball" is that our current organizations that control the major leagues are all woke, repeat woke narratives, and controlled by globalists. Our grudge is nothing on the sports themselves. In fact, a non-woke sports channel seem to be the very definition of non-woke entertainment that audiences (and all of us) are looking for. After all, what is exactly woke about two teams of men running around and throwing a ball around?
So, the question is that, hypothetically, if there are some non-woke or based sports leagues that competes against their mainstream woke counter-parts, like a hypothetical Based Football League vs the NFL for example, will there be approval from GAW and MAGA, or is our distain for "sportsball" stems from something else?
We are not a cult. There is no "our disdain". Each person needs to define their own world view, taking into consideration all the information we have managed to figure out about these things.
What is important is to be aware of all the hidden depths - comms, propaganda, brainwashing, "give them bread and circus" aspects and the child trafficking. Once you are fully aware of these information, how you react to it is your own choice.

A counter-argument someone would make is that how GAW/MAGA any different than sports teams/fandom? Both are "big tribes" who obsess on how their team does, with rabid cheering if we won, gashing of teeth if we lost. Plus the more someone thinks about GAW and MAGA, the less actual work they would get done, especially if they became terminally online as a result...
