Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Dec 16, 2021The Left never did find a good comeback to “NPC” as an insult 🤔 That might have been the best insult of the first 5 years of the culture war19494
Nick Pinkston @NickPinkston·Dec 16, 2021Replying to @vgrIt's hard when the left doesn't have any sense of humor at all, a big strategic weakness.14
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Dec 16, 2021Replying to @NickPinkstonHmm. That’s not true though. From Daily Show on, the Left has dominated television political humor. They just suck at the online improv meme war kind.414
Nick Pinkston @NickPinkston·Dec 16, 2021Replying to @vgrYea, that's a good point, though I don't think of them as that leftist or funny.1

Nick Pinkston @NickPinkston·Dec 16, 2021Replying to @vgrYea, I Iike some of them, but none hold a candle to South Park.12
Venkatesh Rao@vgr·Dec 16, 2021Replying to @NickPinkstonI think of South Park as pretty centrist-libertarian so kinda out of the left/right culture war. They mostly fired shots at authoritarians.18
