I didn’t take it that way at all. Your comment got my noggin joggin on how often I consume media that’s diametrically opposed to my worldview. Stuff like Company of Heroes or Warhammer 40K.
I think asking yourself why do you indulge in media that portrays an opposing worldview is a much more interesting question, than asking what media one should consume.
Does it mean we should all become free speech absolutists and allow Austrian painters book to be places in our bookshelves?
No, but I would argue something is deeply wrong with our society, if reading that book converts someone to a nazi. Same as that there is something deeply wrong with out society if playing 40k does that to someone. If banning this media means we can eventually create a society where this doesn’t happen then sure I’m not opposed to it, by itself it doesn’t seem to work if I take a look at what’s happening in Europe right now.
Like take for instance why I found the 40k setting peculiar myself. It’s a world filled with perpetual misery, caused by all the worst human qualities. Arrogance, greed, ignorance, haltered, zealotry and you can go on. Something about it tickles my funny bone, why would that make me wanna subscribe to a losers ideology? My own world is filled with perpetual misery, caused by it’s own god emperors and people worshipping them. That’s where I find it relatable.
