IMO a piece of fiction works better as a “badge” in this sense if it can be defended as a really good work of art in-and-of itself, without the message behind it. Part of the game is that being the one to obviously introduce ideology into the discussion is a bad opening move.
Like what if the other party doesn’t take the political bait and starts talking about train sex or whatever?
- tb_technical 2y agoIf someone starts talking about train sex, the ensuing conversation is going to be an absolute riot
- swasheck 2y agowholeheartedly agree. i guess the message i was trying to convey is that i see people wearing familiarity with the work of art as a badge, not that i've badged them with it. anyway, yes, political conversations would be far more productive if they discussed train sex over against rand-based political/economic theory
