    Yep. Hard to admit our reactions are their manipulations. Everyone things everyone but them is the puppet.

      Just because it’s a manipulation doesn’t mean it’s always avoidable, though. Like Lex Luthor manipulates Superman by putting Lois Lane’s life in danger. Letting Lois die isn’t typically a real option. He’s got no choice but to play the game because he’s a moral person.

      Are we supposed to just let LGBTQ people die so we can make inroads on the class war? I don’t like it, but that’s not a real option either.

        If we win the culture war, then we can focus all our efforts on the class war. If we abandon the culture war, we lose our allies and betray our principles and become weaker in the class war.
