Actually it's stage 3/4 of 5.

  1. Fringe: just a couple people meeting in a bar
  2. Normalization: go out and do protests, interviews, etc. People hate your ideas still, but you just keep saying them until they're normal.
  3. Mainstream: established parties get scared, start talking the radical positions to get voters back, thereby proving that the positions are actually fine! So why vote for the cheap copy then, if you can have the original?
  4. Power: win elections, start dismantling some Democratic institutions.
  5. Gleichschaltung: take over total power via manufactured coup etc. Then dismantle anything that's left.

If you care about Indie games, you should definitely support them to put some pressure on valve in regards to:

  • lowering their 30% cut for lower revenue (so something like first 100k free). Right now they lower it only for high grossing games
  • allowing to have lower prices on other platforms. That's genuinely monopoly behavior and I do hope they lose their lawsuits in this regard.
