I think that's the difference: Pirate Bay and Silkroad knew they were inherently anti-establishment, but it seems to me that Parler and Gab think of themselves as "alternative establishment" or something.
Pirate Bay was never trying to compete with Netflix or Steam-- it's conceptually very different. But Parler very much wants (wanted?) to just be Twitter but with right-wing politics.
That’s a great distinction, I’m gonna start stealing that.
Some people aren’t anti establishment, they are anti-not-my-establishment. You can’t call yourself anti establishment if you just don’t like the current one.
Totally. I'm not even sure how many do call themselves anti-establishment, but I do know that there's lots of talk on the right about building a "second economy" and "alternative public square" and stuff like the Daily Wire trying to make movies, all as part of this "fine, I'll open my own casino" kind of play. It's very purposefully establisment-focused, just not the existing one.

My dad always said "Don't trust a man in a suit telling you who's wrong" but then again he fell in line with Trump when he grew old.
Christ, if that happens to me, kill me.
Don't worry, he did it so you won't get a chance to.
I demand the government force this private company to provide me free speech.
I would advice against hosting servers in Russia, though. Police raids on datacenters, where they literally rip servers out from the racks, are, unfortunately, a common occurence.
It's required to have literally zero knowledge of worldwide piracy and its current state to post or upvote such things.
Fascists aren't anti establishment. Their whole thing is doing even worse things to preserve capitalism when it enters crisis.
They become the establishment.
No, they always were. That's the point of fascism. To present an "alternative" that keeps the same group in power.
Gab has their own server infrastructure.
Apparently they’re working on Christian AI too lol
