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

    This. I have a family member who’s basically a fundie.

    They’re always banging on about any church that claims you can buy your way in through some kind of work or through money. Thinks that’s always the devil leading people astray bc it contradicts that letting jesus into your heart is enough to save you.
