Well, we definitely agree completely about the utter fake and gay nature of 95% of online political discourse, both left and right. It was a large part of what sent me back to church, which in turn became one of the more important decisions I've made IRL lately.
When it comes to games and gaming, I definitely understand the point the Matt Walshes of the world make, even the ones on ConsumeProduct or /pol/. On some level, interacting with the real world in a serious matter is the most important thing we can all do, yadda yadda. I get that and largely agree.
I also come from a heavily gaming-centric and college-literary-academic focused past and understand better than most that the real battle we face is a metaphysical one where the weapons of war are narrative and ideology. "The Right," autistic boomer faggots we are, has been resoundingly losing this battle since the 60s and hasn't cared to take it up. It is actually important to create and consume good art and it is actually important to gatekeep it against the forces of evil, because if you don't, Billy is going to chop his dick off because fucking Blues Clues told him to.
Matt Walsh is a dumb shill, but his retarded viewpoint on art is held by an incredible number of people. That needs to change before any semblance of order can return.
In the meantime, I plan gardens and play EverQuest.
