Are they killer mother fuckers? I can respect strength when ancient gay ass fuckers from Thebes were considered strong fuckers one time.

They were maniacs who believed a great lion in the stars told them that Marxism was like a disease so even the relatives of leftwing terrorists needed to be killed for the glory of la Republica and to eradicate the pestilential menace.

they were based at first but their furry witch doctor commandant went off the damn reservation and they plunged right into hell with him.

More I learn about the dude, more awesome he seems.
 
The religious right turned people to left center in the 2000's. Now the progressive left is turning people center right.

The lack of self awareness that the Bush era is over and the evangelical pastors are not longer the ones driving moral panics, but marxist college students are, is what is gonna end these people.

Evangelicals were never the ones driving moral panics. The Media has always been the driver of all modern moral panics, and one of the biggest tricks they have ever pulled is getting the blame shifted to the Religious Right.

I've gone over this pretty extensively in the past, but I'll quote those here so you don't have to go digging:

There's no single article on this, so let's touch on the three big Moral Panics folks remember from the 80s and 90s (there were more, for instance, the "Repressed Memories / Daycare Sexual Abuse" moral panic but that didn't get into censorship.

So, let's start at the top with the Dungeons and Dragons moral panic of the 1980s. Firstly, this panic never got so far as to spawn any legislation, but did serve as a major poisoning point between Geekdom and the Religious Right (which is kinda sad really, seeing how fantasy as a genre has considerable roots in worldviews that align closely with the religious right and the Grandfather and Godfather of modern fantasy (Tolkien and Lewis) are both lionized by the religious right). Firstly, the moral panic around DnD chiefly started with the disappearance of James Egbert and its fictionalization in the novel Mazes and Monsters by Rona Jaffe in 1981. Those involved in the Egbert suicide and investigation were entirely politically unmotivated as far as I can tell. Later, after Irving Pulling, a gamer, commited suicide in 1982 his mother fixated on RPGs as the cause of his death and formed the advocacy group "B.A.D.D." While she certainly took a religious stance against DnD, by herself she wasn't very visible, no, it was the mainstream media special on 60 Minutes that catapulted it all into the public consciousness along with the 1982 made for TV movie based on the aforementioned novel that pushed it into full blown moral panic mode. Even in the 1980s one would be hard pressed to call Hollywood and the media bastions of social conservatives, though I will admit that the ideas did catch on much more within the religious right, but thus, the origin of the moral panic and propagation of it was distinctly bipartisan.

The next big moral panic was the Dirty Music Panic of the 1980s and early 90s. This one is pretty easy to show how it was bipartisan, since one of the chief pushers of this panic was the Parents Music Resource Center, which was founded by the wives of four politicians and doners, the politicians were from across the political spectrum, but most notably Tipper Gore, wife of then Democratic senator and later Vice President Al Gore.

Finally, let's dig into the Video Game Panic of the late 90s and early 00s. There can be no denying that the right wing was involved here as Jack Thompson is clearly a member of the religious right. However, despite Thompson being the face, there was considerable involvement from some very prominent left wing individuals. The most notable instance of this was the push for the Family Entertainment Protection Act, which was a bill basically to force rating onto the video game industry and otherwise censor them. The person who introduced the bill? Then Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. It's cosponsors? All Democrats. If that's not showcasing just how bipartisan this issue was, consider this, in 2011 the US Supreme Court struck down the California law restricting the sale of video games to minors and formally extending 1st Amendment protections to Video Games in a 7-2 decision, written by Scalia. The two dissenting opinions? One by Thomas (a conservative) and the other by Breyer (a Liberal). But that case brings us to my earlier statement about it being liberals who passed the laws, you see the California law in question was brought forward by the now infamous Leland Yee, a Democrat. In 2005 both houses of the California government were held by Democrats and while the governator was a Republican, nobody would seriously call him a conservative.

I'm not denying that, but people more remember the anti-DnD Jack Chick comic, which, let's be honest, likely saw very limited distribution, than they remember the 60 Minutes Special. Note, even in the Wiki I linked, the 60 minutes special is given a handful of sentences, compared to the various religious figures who had opinions on it. How many books or people do you think read those things or saw the anti-DnD chick comic? A few thousand, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands?

60 Minutes' estimated audience in 1985 was over 20 million. To put that into perspective, the US population is estimated to be around 240 million in 1985, which means that nearly a TENTH of the US population watched 60 Minutes. So, which do you find more likely, niche religious books and tracts being the primary vector for pushing the Moral Panic against RPGs, or a television show watched by about one in ten people in the US?

I wouldn't be surprised if this is the first time you've even heard about the 60 minute special, it's been effectively memory holed, while everyone here knows about the Chick Comic I'm referring to.
