Many culture wars currently raging are largely contrived. How do you provoke a fake culture war? -Identify sacred values of a group. -Repeatedly suggest bad actors are violating them. -Urge group to combat illusory bad actors. Do it with many groups at once for total chaos.
Replying to @TheStoicEmperor
Rene Girard is extremely important in analyzing these culture wars. The fuel needed to maintain in-group cohesion is the scapegoating of any with a perceived difference, publicly and as a collective.
