The Witness is very strongly about a kind of fascination for the natural world and the rules that underpin it, that's kind of two jumps away to the fascination of the scientific enterprise as love for the science canon. I wouldn't say that it's "right wing" especially but i would say it goes hand in hand with people who are assured that if their method is correct, no one else needs to be listened to. Which isn't to say that the game is a thesis on everything, because it isn't, but the wonder of the game is a wonder of a certain kind that's not quite aligned with progressivist values i think. That's my personal feeling about it tbh.

And that's politics it just isn't politics in the colloquial sense of discussing how the state governs

Now I see why they're so tolerant of even the most oppressive religious stuff - science and knowing things is right wing

But can you explain scientifically how you can send lightning through magic to strike someone?
