「上梁不正下梁弯」 - When the upper beam is crooked, the lower beams are bent.

"Crimestop means the mental faculty of stopping short, as though by instinct, at the threshold of any dangerous thought. It includes the power of not grasping analogies, of failing to perceive logical errors, of misunderstanding the simplest arguments as if they are inimical to the Narrative, and of being bored or repelled by any train of thought which is capable of leading in a heretical direction. Crimestop - the art of protective stupidity." - George Orwell

rileycs_ BF6 beta livestreams:

• (no cheats) August 7 - part 1
• (no cheats) August 7 - part 2
• August 8
• August 9

The analysis:

It's been months since this scandal, but I'll offer a few more thoughts for anyone who happens to read:

• What was incredibly infuriating isn't the aimbot or legit hacking, it was the gaslighting done by the aim community to instill doubt for those who were on the fence. Myself included. Initially, I thought rileycs was innocent as well, because he was someone who spent too much time on the mouse, but as I opened myself up to discussion - on 10IQ's discord server, the cracks revealed themselves.


• I downloaded the VODs for the first three days of Riley's gameplay, and had Sir Benton's help in storing the files over Google Drive. For the August 7th VODs, I took the time to comb through all instances of riley's engagements and kills to gain a baseline for riley's native skill. The suspicious gameplay moments occured in the later VODs, with Enclave Emily making the discovery that rileycs had temporarily activated cheats for clip farming - the cheats disabled afterward when his tweet became viral over X. Obviously, you wouldn't cheat under scrutiny, but this raises the question of his discrepency in skill. My biggest regret is not devoting time over the August 8th and 9th VODs (each being over six hours of footage).




• However, despite this verdict, what was the outcome? Did rileycs get suspended from Twitch, banned from BF6, and the rest of the aim community's veracity called into question? Unfortunately, no. Thanks to the gaslighting done by the aim community, who'd list credible voices in rileycs's defense, he is still endorsed by them, still streams coasting off the controversy, and the aim community includes his clips in their montages while wearing the label of 'cheaters' ironically. I doubt if you will ever see him openly feature legit hacking anymore.


• While the awareness of public backlash serves as a deterrent to avoid future cheating, the fact still remains: rileycs has gotten away with cheating. (Imagine if it was murder.)




• Rileycs wasn't the only one who has openly legit hacked his way to infamy. There is also this clip from GothVT (I've seen her on TeamEXE's discord server):




• Across October, on X/Twitter, I was blocked by numerous aim community members over a personal campaign to bring them down and expose their corruption, upon their failure to impose consequences on rileycs. I was also banned off their discord servers.




• When I hopped on ThisIsTeamEXE's discord server, I had a conversation with the members who happened to be in voice chat - primarily with AimbotAimy who shot down any argument about rileycs's integrity called into question, and morphed into a Quentin Tarantino caricature when I asked about her willingness to review the clips herself with her so-called impaired vision, and made a jab saying that her vision problems were the least of her problems. You can see the conversation itself on my YouTube channel: I shared it with Enclave Emily and others on 10iq's discord, and she stepped in TeamEXE's voice chat where after a painful attempt to reason with AimbotAimy (who kept forcing the conversation back over to the question of Emily's credibility and 'authority' as a former cheat dev), they were both finally able to come to an agreement.


• It's worth noting that TeamEXE members, just as when it comes to how they play online, did not play fair here. I was with Emily and AnkGrooger (moderator of 10iq's discord), and called AimbotAimy to join us in voice chat. Instead of merely joining, I was kicked and banned, and AnkGrooger was server deafened and muted while Emily was alone in debating the TeamEXE members.




• A key point is when Emily also had them agree to get me unbanned. I joined back in their voice chat after the aftermath (this you can also see in a second video I have on my channel), and when I showed them my own "Crying Game" video where in Escape from Tarkov, rileycs betrays other player scavs for fun (a demonstration of their character), it elicited no more of a reaction from the TeamEXE members - as if they'd merely watched a video of someone just doing business as usual. Keep this part in mind, because it gets very important.




• I shadowed AimbotAimy over Twitter. I said things like how her adopting a child is child abuse, I threw racially disparaging tweets her way (don't do what I did), and uncovered how around 2019, she tweeted defending lolicon: "loli can't be considered CP due to constraints reality and fiction isn't reality its made up and completely not real. I will break this down for you since you seem to not understand anything regarding reality."







• AimbotAimy also had a clip where after spawn-killing other players in BF6, she quickly checked the scoreboard and saw how she had 15 kills: "I was-- I- I dropped 15 killz in 2 minutes, I'M iNsAnE!!" This is despite her YouTube video showcasing how she, who's supposedly legally blind, manages to aim like any other player. You can see the simulated blurriness and dark spots. How could she read the number 15 on the scoreboard with that kind of vision? Do you mean to say she was really wearing special glasses the whole time, and that tracking players by their colour was just a ruse? (She's a dubious individual like everyone else in the garbage community, what can you say.)



• I did two additional videos where I went through the timeline of Marcychai and Viscose's alt accounts on X. These are not happy people. When I hopped back on TeamEXE's server to share my findings, it was an incredibly sharp reaction where I was banned, while another helped me screenshot the aftermath: "He's only doing it for views ofc! This is technically stalking! Fuck that guy."



• I turned my attention to other things. As the conversation of political corruption grew pertinent (I live in Canada under Mark Carney's so-called leadership), I saw uncanny similarities between how Liberal MPs would sweep scandals under the rug, attempt to bribe opposing MPs to "cross the floor" (betray their original party and join the Liberals, so the Liberals can secure for themselves a majority government by underhanded means), and numerous other things in my clearly dysfunctional country - and the scandal with the aim community.


• There is a graph which compares the mentalities of collectivists vs. individualists. If you haven't seen it yet, it's an illuminating picture which points out the disparity between the collectivists' inability to discern truth, and the individualist's reluctance to arrive at consensus or work together.


• For those of you who disparage rileycs over being a troon, while Emily herself is transgender who has spent weeks with me and Sir Benton investigating rileycs's deleted VODs - I understand. But being transgender (I disagree with transgenderism as an ideology, and personally wish it would be abolished to prevent the pain of never being able to reproduce, being reliant on the chronic use of artifical hormones, along with a host of other medical/psychological issues posed) or being autistically devoted to the art of mouse over mousepad isn't by themselves the problem, and it would be foolish to point fingers at the overt symptoms, rather than the underlying darkness which wears aim training, transgenderism, or even political corruption as its guise.


• This darkness is what I'd go so far as to call the essence of evil and corruption itself.



• Traditionally, you would think of crooks as robbers, thieves, rapists, murderers - those who obviously pose a risk to civil society. But evil in this sense is a psychopathic disregard for the truth. Nothing good will happen once you start ignoring reality, let alone impose this ignorance upon others.


• Around October, I was hospitalized for a week as my psyche went haywire. I'd call these people "Black Hole NPCs" with the notion that if you drowned out their soul-sucking nature with spiritual presence and energy, it would drive these people out as a vampire would fear the sunlight. Black Hole NPCs are people who embody dark triad sensibilities, like psychopathy, narcissism, Machiavellianism, and aren't motivated by things like love, beauty, truth or honour/integrity, like ordinary people. The insight which I'll express here is an articulate distillation.




• There was a trending X/Twitter clip where Senator Josh Hawley questions Dr. Nisha Verma: "Can men get pregnant?" She dodges and avoids answering this question which was repeated to her 11 times, attempting to frame her answer in terms of respecting the complexities of diverse gender identities rather than a simple Yes/No. Then Hawley goes on a rant, speaking out the explicit truths about reproduction which shouldn't have to be explained for anyone with a bearing on common sense. Dr. Nisha keeps a straight face, when anyone who were in her position would outright be embarassed to have to be corrected about basic factual truths.




• Recently, I stumbled upon an interview by the director Michael Haneke on Funny Games (1997), where two young men terrorize a family and force them to play sadistic games for their own fun:

If you asked them why they did all this, they'd say: "Why not? Because it's fun." That's the fundamental ethical question: "Why do you commit evil?"

"Why not?"

And you'll have no argument against "Why not?" When someone doesn't believe in certain norms and values, you have absolutely no way to convince them otherwise.

• This is how simple and yet so insidious evil can get, and why absurdities persist across the West - because we've normalized a disregard for objective truth in support of 'ethical' ideological agendas which only serve to benefit the elite's control over everyone else. Consider how third-world immigrants are seen as fully interchangeable with native citizens, to be imported en masse to boost GDP and offset declining birth rates, while dissenters who speak up against it are punished socially or legally. What coherent principle would justify this, let alone deliberately confusing troubled young people about sexuality, then pushing medical transition as the solution to their emotional distress? What principle demands blind insistence on rileycs' innocence while shutting down all discussion of counter-evidence? (The only principle which I can articulate is high-level crookery, which begins when you warp narratives to suit your own purposes.)


• Even if you expose all the faults of someone who is essentially wicked, nothing will happen. It would be like checkmating the Devil in an argument, only for the Devil to waltz freely anyway imposing his hell on others. It's as if those people believe they exist on a plane of reality orthogonal to everyone else, where they are immune to accountability.

Referring to such people, Yuri Bezmenov said:

“They are programmed to think and react to certain stimuli in a certain pattern [alluding to Pavlov]. You can not change their mind even if you expose them to authentic information. Even if you prove that white is white and black is black, you still can not change the basic perception and the logic of behavior.”

Demoralization is a process that is “irreversible.” Bezmenov actually thought (back in 1984) that the process of demoralizing America was already completed. It would take another generation and another couple of decades to get the people to think differently and return to their patriotic American values, claimed the agent.

In what is perhaps a most striking passage in the interview, here’s how Bezmenov described the state of a “demoralized” person:

“As I mentioned before, exposure to true information does not matter anymore,” said Bezmenov. “A person who was demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing to him. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, with documents, with pictures; even if I take him by force to the Soviet Union and show him [a] concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it, until he [receives] a kick in his fan-bottom. When a military boot crashes his balls then he will understand. But not before that. That’s the [tragedy] of the situation of demoralization.”



• To truly succeed, you must take concrete action in line with your principles. This is why President Donald J. Trump, for all his faults, succeeds despite becoming an object of derision for Democrats and leftists alike. When words fail, action is a non-negotiable necessity: "Do the right thing." When someone violates the sanctity of your home, you defend it, no matter if the current laws prohibit or outright punish your ability for self-defense.


• In this context, I don't condone hate, violent action, or outright dehumanization of these people for their refusal to acknowledge the truth, or the damage which has ensued ex post facto. As Nietzsche warned: he who fights monsters should take care that he himself does not become one; and when you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. I've fallen into that temptation myself - the urge to stoop to monstrous means for righteous ends. You must not do the wrong thing for all the right reasons, even though people in society frequently do the right thing for the wrong reasons. Our true ideal is not merely retribution, but having presence of spirit enough to shed light over their darkness and confusion, and standing by the truth at all costs when they choose to cling onto "my truth," a stance which is beneath contempt.

If you think you can decide your own truth, you are no different from someone who thinks they can decide their own pronouns, literally.

'Based' Paganism vs. Christianity, by Luke Smith

• They shall paint you as a madman, and use every excuse in the book to dismiss your voicing of the truth, as you will observe with the sharp reactions generated by the sharing of this very article over X/Twitter. But thus do I counsel you, my friends: the further a society drifts from the truth, the more they will hate those who voice it.


• Justice will be served once developers and streaming services have the backbone to take a stand against the entire aim community for their corruption - i.e. identifying their accounts and isolating them from the rest of the player base. Likewise, it is up to people like you and me to be willing to take concrete stands, not merely against evil and nonsense, but also for what's right and truthful. No one would ever say walking the righteous path is easy, but it is what you must have the courage to follow if you ever wish to embody positive change in this world.

"In keeping silent about evil, in burying it so deep within us that no sign of it appears on the surface, we are implanting it, and it will rise up a thousand fold in the future. When we neither punish nor reproach evildoers, we are not simply protecting their trivial old age, we are thereby ripping the foundations of justice from beneath new generations. Because the simple step of a courageous individual is not to take part in the lie. One word of truth outweighs the whole world." - Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago
