i honestly don't agree. This is one of those things where the right goes "the left completely controls this thing!" and the left goes "the right completely controls this thing" and neither are correct because reality is never as simple as that.
There's virtually nothing that either side has a monopoly on. Maybe the left has a power-monopoly on environmental issues + discourse while the right has one on gun rights. Other than that everything is a toss-up.
He is correct in identifying that some group is "flooding the zone" with inane shit like "trans girls playing sports" but this group has to be better described than just right wing. wizardbeard's explanation is good.
The right definitely does not control media because they have been vocal about how much they hate MSM for ages, forever, and continue to do so.
The left absolutely does not dominate narratives on environmental issues in media outlets. The right wing narratives are taken at face value and amplified despite being objectively false.
Media outlets are publishing articles today that are still talking about renewables as if they were more expensive than fossil fuels. Solar has been cheapest form of power per kWh for years now around the world
The media is tiled to the right. The right complains because that's never enough for them
Also too much blackpilling paralyses you and others in your movement. You have to look at things objectively and "what would need to be done to fix it" rather than scare people into frenzied action against various targets you list off at random.
