No, all/most of the cool stuff gets politicized/weaponized and becomes shitty.
I don't think that's right. Lots of mundane things get politicized by the right in a way that makes it very understandable to people who might not usually care why they should care. It's why grandma knows about trans teachers but not right to repair. One side of culture doesn't shy away from educating people or conflict while the other side hopes a cool thing takes off naturally in its own time ignoring how important it is to market ideas.
Yes. It's only the right who politicizes things. There's never anybody on the left making things about politics. Right.
Sorry, what?
Response to that.
