So the right-wing has shifted pretty visibly into clearly being the
no-fun police right now (like literally, they are mad at pretty much
everything fun right now, including Star Wars, Star Trek, and the NFL),
and I think this gives the left an opportunity to show that while we are
critical of media for its more problematic or pernicious aspects, we
aren’t critical of the people that enjoy the media just for enjoying it.
Like we have to admit that general fun is the most widespread form of
resistance to capitalism, and we should embrace that shit. I think that some of the 2014-2016 rise in right-wing bullshittery was due to the left coming across as the “no-fun” people, and that was wholly undeserved, and I think the shoe has firmly landed on the other foot at this point. Which gives us an opportunity to show that that idea was always bullshit. We embrace fun as fucking praxis.
Boredom is always counter-revolutionary
Eh, I don’t think that you can sell me on bad tofu and shitty music as fun, essentially with no fast cars, makeup, cool clothes, fun media, or personal hygiene. I mean, I guess the weed is “fun” if that’s your thing, but the fucking Libertarians have weed too, and weed’s not my thing anyway.
If you check the op’s blog with the Internet Archive’s Chronoglow browser, it’s deactivated by August 3rd, 2021 after they got harassed off the site for liking an indie game where one of the developers was friends with a man whose wife was the cousin of someone who was once in the same room as JonTron.
