Yep, those who are themselves past the critical point on the other side. Bunch of deep blue-pilled types trying to redpill each other. Cultists trying to deprogram opposed cultists. Me, I drop any friend bitten by zombies on any side, though they usually drop me first.

Anyhoo, not sure where I was going with the thread. I guess it’s sort of an update to my 2017 culture war map, and the internet of beefs post this year. I’ve concluded we’re in a chronic end-of-history conflict with no vaccine, so wear a culture-war mask and get on with your life

Adding this thought here. There’s an aspect of inability to play here, as a core culture-warrior trait. They can do sports, and play cat-mouse, or bully, but not play. Important exception is a subset of shitposting edgelords. https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1284658772384702464?s=21 …https://twitter.com/vgr/status/1284658772384702464 …

The distinction is probably finite-game play (Huizenga) vs infinite-game play (Carse). The former strives to win (“own the libs” and “spot the your/you’re error” are clear examples). It’s play of sorts and there is laughter, but it’s not jumping-in-puddles type fun.

“Games Culture Warriors Play” would be a good inventory to attempt.

I used to think the thinking/feeling dichotomy sucked because there are good thinkers with strong feelings. But I think you can salvage it by refining the categories a bit. Thinking = analytical (“what is this?”). Feeling = evaluative (“do I like this or dislike this?”)

Or, more precisely, feeling is experiencing your response to things. “How does it taste to me?”
