Don't worry about the LARPers. There are so few of them, they are so dumb, they have so little power, and they never will.

Worry instead about those quiet ones out there reading old and problematic books: the free spirits, burning forth, ready to smash all our tablets of values.

Yes, you'd better...

In case it wasn't clear (Poe's law, and all), I am speaking about myself and people like me, who get along just fine but find themselves quite at odds with the modern world and it's mythologies, and also deeply uninterested in what these radical groups and "activists" have on offer.

I may be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure Conservatives are the opposite of "free spirits."

I am not talking about conservatives.
