Tradcon, sure. NeoCon? No way. No Neo-Cons anywhere near them.

Callum's black-pilled because he's kind of black-pilling himself

That shit can all fuck off, I get that Carl is trying to expand and bring on more viewpoints but at the same time I feel like they should be challenged on it rather than being allowed to go on a tedious monologue every episode and think that everybody agrees with them.

I think that's growing pains between essayist content and panel discussion. I think with the larger studio and 3 panel episodes, they're going to have no choice but to limit the essay portion for the panel discussion.

I of course particularly take against people who blame video games for anything because by and large there's fuck all evidence to support it and they're just scapegoating somebody's hobby much like how back in the day they would blame heavy metal and rap music for the world's ills.

I think this is a standard problem for conservatives of struggling with the symptoms of a sick society, and taking it for the causes. Yeah, there is a point of something like video-game addiction or media-diet that can wreck your psychology; but the point is that these mechanisms wouldn't be profitable or common place if the foundational degeneracy of society was dealt with.

It's like: Simping is probably one of the most destructive modern cultural phenomenon of our time because it facilitates para-social-sexual relationships with hundreds of men, and makes sexual exploitation of women extremly accessible, poisoning everyone. But the foundational problem isn't simping. The problem is the broken homes, bad parenting, and social isolationism that is institutionally supported and incentivized across society. The women are looking for easy money and attention because of the social conditioning to value materialism and social affirmation through others, because they never developed a proper level of self-confidence and security from their absent fathers; meanwhile them men are beaten-down by social isolationism and institutional / systemic hatred of them and masculinity as a whole; while also working only for materialist purposes in a atomitized social environment; so they don't value themselves and are resorting to simply paying to mimic the idea of an intimate and alluring partner.

They typically hit on the symptom, and then try to use the government enforcing morality, failing to realize that morality can't be cultivated through the barrel of a gun, and the social failures that caused the degeneracy in the first place weren't addressed.
