It’s no surprise that geeks, nerds, and gamers have a pipeline that leads them to the far right. I want to know if the reverse is true because I’m an angry gamer who ended up here on the left.

    I mean, nerds usually learn history, so therefore if they do learn actual history then yes.

      Not if they “learn history” by watching YouTube history channels.

      That’s actually a really good point. Interesting games tend to make me read books. I can’t remember a time when I wasn’t at least a social democrat, but reading definitely pushed me over the line to the actual left.
