Say what you will, but the biggest redpilling events in the last three decades didn't happen in city councils, churches, political commentary or anything of the sort.
For all the efforts from people like Bill Cooper, Ted Nugent, Rush Limbaugh, Ron Paul and the like, the biggest cultural shifts and the reason the right wing was reborn and started rising again, was because the blue haired fascist freaks pissed off millenials and zoomers by trying to hunt down 4chan, video games and 2D japanese anime girls.
If they left the geeks and the autists alone with their toys, dare I say that 80% of the cultural shift we're experiencing would never have happened.
It's something to reflect upon this week.
painful as it might be to admit... i think you are right. if they didn't attacked the gamer identity, i would be playing videogames and not paying attention, straight up.
