Is Platonism the last great intellectual school that has not yet been hijacked by LARPers, social outcasts, and contrarian teenagers?

I'm an outcast weirdo and I've been balls-deep in a Platonist phase for the past year so I don't know

Also Platonism is very unattractive to larpers because it's largely abstract, hard to directly insert into modern politics, and there's enough intellectual tradition behind it that you can't spout offhanded incorrect shit and get away with it.

Not true. I see people on /pol/ defend Trump and Putin because of Plato's criticisms of democracy in the Republic and Statesman.
