It is good to hate the things the rest of the working class likes because it clearly makes you seem more relatable and not at all like a miserable asshole.
People watching that stuff are numerous enough to make a ton of those grifters a lot of money, but I don't think they're large enough to hold very significant influence. Like Tim Poole's channel viewership is comparable to the video console repair channel I like watching, and I imagine watching someone repair consoles is on the more obscure side of interests.
"In this moment as I refer to the local team as sportsball, I am euphoric. Not because of any phony god's blessing. But because, I am enlightened by my intelligence"
What's next, are you going to tell people to go to the opera? Get with the times grandpa. The only type of sport anyone outside of boomers cares about is esport.
I bet they wouldn't be fun if you A: had no knowledge of the sports in question and B: went alone because you have no friends and also C: weren't open to learning about the sports or making new friends. Like maybe fold your arms and glare the whole time and also whenever the crowd gets excited about anything yell "this is dumb. You're all dumb for liking this. It's just a ball traveling through space."
Some of the things the working class likes are dogshit, tho.
Like, listen to the "Time for my Stories" bit on LOST. Classic example of people just kinda getting sucked into the Mystery Box and caring very hard about a thing that was utterly hollow and pointless. Or, fuck, anything flavored with Game Of Thrones.

good point, fox news and all that culture war BS is the only thing I hear from conservatives (especially recently with that lilnasx video).

You should go to a sportsball game when shit opens back up, they’re fun.

Sure, do that too.

Sure, but why would you do that though?
It’s the only way I can think of to build a popular working class Left movement in the United States.
Pretending marvel films are good to hasten the revolution
Yeah it's like I hated Marvel movies long before I became a commie.
