Aaron Parnas Presents Culture War Bingo
A satirical party game about the loaded phrases, attack lines, and echo-chamber shortcuts people mistake for the truth. It’s Bingo, but every square sounds like your uncle on Facebook.
Why Culture War Bingo
As an independent journalist, I spend every day watching how information moves. I see the outrage that gets manufactured. I see the same phrases repeated across cable news, political speeches, social media, and fundraising emails until they stop sounding like opinions and start sounding like scripts.
That’s where Culture War Bingo comes in.
- A company supports diversity, and suddenly it’s woke.
- A prosecutor does their job, and suddenly it’s lawfare.
- A school teaches history, and suddenly it’s indoctrination.
- An election is lost, and suddenly it’s about voter fraud.
- A fact is inconvenient, and suddenly it’s fake news.
These words aren’t random. They’re tools used to distract, divide, and turn ordinary life into nonstop outrage. Culture War Bingo doesn’t ignore that. It just gives people a way to laugh at how ridiculous it’s all gotten while still seeing it clearly.
Culture War Bingo turns those familiar, exhausting phrases into a game. The terms are funny because they’re everywhere. They matter because language shapes how we see each other. This game doesn’t ask you to tune out. It asks you to pay attention, laugh at the absurdity, and remember that once you can spot the talking point, it gets a lot harder to fall for it.
Hail Mary Pass: A 30-Day Kickstarter
I’m a fan, not a company. I’m a creative that’s been on the client and agency side of marketing and branding for 25+ years.
I watch what you and other independent voices are doing, the daily content, community building, the Substacks and I get it. You’ve built real businesses without corporate gatekeepers. That takes serious drive.
So what if we took the culture war patterns you break down every single day and turned into a physical product your audience would actually play with, talk about, and share?
Kickstarter is a free platform. Since 2009, 677,249 campaigns have successfully launched raising $8.7 billion. Brands like Exploding Kittens and Cards Against Humanity got their start on Kickstarter.
For you, it’s zero risk and full control. It also turns the launch into its own moment.
This wouldn’t cost you a penny or be a time drain. Kickstarter does the heavy lifting. There’s several companies out there that handle the printing and shipping logistics.
As a brand guy this feels right. This isn’t another t-shirt or mug. It’s an actual game people sit down and play together. It’s a natural extension of the work you already do, breaking down the "scripts" and talking points that dominate the conversation. Many independent voices are doing basic merch to bring in revenue. This gives your brand something that feels self-aware and actually lives in the real world.
This is the 5,000-foot view. I haven't shared it with anyone else. If it resonates, I'd love to talk. If not, I'll still be a fan.
About Me
Like a lot of people, I’m exhausted by how everything in our country has become another fight. That’s part of why I made this game. It felt like a way to turn some of that noise into something people could laugh at together instead of just getting more pissed off.

I'm not a squatter. Once you see this I'll point the domain to your Substack.
