How did gamergate cause the rise of the modern right?

idk why but a pattern I see a lot in my personal life is that
>people with late autism diagnosis
completely flip their behavior after the diagnosis. they stop masking altogether. they will start wearing sunglasses indoors, and will rather walk 10km instead of going in a loud crowded bus, and stop entertaining social games. if people get weirded out by the tism they just shrug and end the conversation.
meanwhile
>people with late adhd diagnosis
get this notion that their symptoms are not merely preferences or a personality thing and that it is a burden that ought to be purged. they get this drive to become "normal" no matter what, whatever it costs. they will grit their teeth, bite their lip, and jump through hoops to mimic neurotypicals. the self-hatred is insane

We've got somewhere between 8-10 billion of us running around on all seven continents. There's not another species of eukaryotes alive that has that kind of dispersion in so many different climates. From a national standpoint, so what? The people who sell it as a crisis are the only ones who truly benefit from our population expanding. With advances in tech potentially wiping out huge swathes of jobs, fewer people for labor actually works out in our favor as workers. Only the owner class benefits from excess workers. From a national security standpoint, all of the near-peer adversaries that are in the world are woefully behind usa military capability - even with our aging equipment. the immigration issue is backwards; governments historically OPEN UP avenues for immigrants when their populations dip. It's a whole lot quicker and cheaper to import workers that are already working age and work for lower wages than it is to raise a whole new generation.

What you're hearing is the whining cries of the ruling classes across the world that are seeing the erosion of traditional power structures, and they're too lazy and inbred to innovate and predict what the next tools of power/control will look like, so they want societies to revert or remain in older forms. Same shit happened during the Black Plague and the following Renaissance.

Xi still considers Mao to be China’s founding father even after all this, I can’t tell if this makes Xi the ultimate bro or the ultimate cuck.

Looking for a country to become an obsessive -boo about. This will make me look erudite and edgy when I knowingly make random references to a nation that most people don't know much about. I'm already South American so other South Americans countries wouldn't feel different enough, and US culture is too ubiquitous. Currently considering
>India, or for extra cool kid points Sri Lanka
>Mexico
>Turkey
>Iran/Persia
>Italy
>some former Yugoslav country or just Yugoslavia itself
Suggestions welcome.

>society would rather let AI sloppers suck the world dry than let their governments build nuclear power plants
its all so tiresome

>Be me
>Have a job that pays enough
>Exercise regularly, not too in shape, but not fat
>Take care of my skin(looks good imho)
>Go out and interact with people more than everyone I know
>Have hobbies I engage in
>somewhat smart and witty
>Better at talking to strangers and starting conversations than 90% of people
>good at maintaining conversations
>charisma: mid (but not bad)
>Dress as best I can (not very good, I'm aware)

How much do I need to improve myself to get a girlfriend exactly? This whole self improvement thing is a scam. I've only ever become friends with either autististic girls, anarchoids, libfems and anime fans who don't shower, all of which don't want to fuck me, so now what?

I think I’ll get some interesting answers because I notice for the most part that only the most Lefty and cuckservative countries have it and only lib countries don’t. It’s like a real horseshoe theory if you take it out of context.
