Finnegan. Politics is downstream from culture, as Andrew Brightbart said. You can't lock yourself away from culture and hope to understand politics.
You obviously have a point, but the observation and understanding of our popular culture is important to understand both the enemy and where we are and are going as a society.
What you are doing here is virtue signaling and needlessly bitching as you seal yourself off from the culture and seem to want to coerce others to do the same.
In the meantime, culture moves on without you and shapes the groupthink of the people.
Better that you (we) stay in the fight than hide from it.
Also, lighten up. Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. And nobody likes a sourpuss.
Not virtue signaling at all.
If you don’t get the idiocy if talking about thus crap in our 50’s or more then you’re (not you per se - anyone with a similar lack of understanding) a moron.
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
People are born that way.
