    When you take out the culture war aspect of politics it seems pretty accurate. Culture war doesn’t really affect billionaires monetarily, so they don’t give a shit. It’s just there to distract the masses emotionally on both sides like any good marketing or propaganda.

      To a certain extent I think you’re correct. However, the result being that there are now people who actually want my parents dead because they’re lesbians is a problem that we need to solve too.

        Yeah the elite are happy to fan the culture war because it doesn’t effect them, but the fallout from them doing so is now ANOTHER problem that absolutely needs to be fixed
