I don’t think that’s right. Lots of mundane things get politicized by the right in a way that makes it very understandable to people who might not usually care why they should care. It’s why grandma knows about trans teachers but not right to repair. One side of culture doesn’t shy away from educating people or conflict while the other side hopes a cool thing takes off naturally in its own time ignoring how important it is to market ideas.

A problem with a lot of the cool stuff is that nobody weaponizes it but all the shitty stuff gets weaponized.

No, all/most of the cool stuff gets politicized/weaponized and becomes shitty.

Yes. It’s only the right who politicizes things. There’s never anybody on the left making things about politics. Right.
