How the cult of imagined heroism is bringing down our nation’s institutions.

So we got some references to Bannon talking about gamers, writer comparing the Communist Party members that had to go underground because of Mccarthy and the feds hunting for them to D&D nerds that met in their parents basement as LARPing revolutionaries playing make believe in their heads as Stalin ate all the grain in the USSR, and some kind of dumb shit about how hero worship is bad and pagan and why hero worshipping Jesus is good amd wholesome

      I hope it catches on with all the tradcath and orthodox people. I would love to go back to the simplicity of the "D&D is for Satanists!" arguments I used to have when I was a kid for a little while.

      Oh god. I'm nostalgic for culture war bullshit!
