FWIW, those institutions are still super important for setting the culture if I understand my gramsci correctly.
Yeah but, and I don't have anything to back this up besides vibes, I kinda suspect the nerds to post about how much they like Fight Club and Joker mostly just edgelord post online. The actual MAGA dudes who go and do shit outside, regardless of how embarrassing it is, are probably more brain-poised on like Call of Duty and those bad direct to TV Steven Seagal films, Joker would be too artsy for them.
Really though I think its mostly their suburban, white bread, driving the Silverado to Buffalo Wild Wings every Friday while pretending to be an independent frontiersman lifestyle that rots their brain. I mean, the media they consume is part of that but it's just one ingredient in the brain-worm soup, removing it and it alone wouldn't do shit. Also you know plenty of socialists watched Fight Club and Joker and played too much COD but ended up where we are now, I know I fucking did.
In think most of the people on this site are themselves media fixated nerds (including myself) and so tend to ascribe to media way more power than it has. It's a piece of the puzzle but I don't think its a particularly big one, at least not when taken with everything else.
It's definitely the loudest piece of the puzzle but I agree that it's not the largest.
