Anyway, I write this because I think your video game metaphor really works here, and I think that’s the way to speak to a large portion of our populace now.
I don’t know that arcade metaphors really work for most of the population now, though. Even when I was young they were dying.
I mean, that’s fair, but that’s also why I said it was only semi-related.
The arcade metaphor works here on Lemmy with a mostly Gen X/Millennial audience, but you’re correct that the people who need to be opened up politically are the Fortnite generation and younger.
