Insightful. Can there be such thing as a cultural victory?
In a conventional war each side grows ever more pragmatic as their idealism hits reality and is gradually ground down by it. In the culture war each side grows ever more ideological because the battle is virtual and the belligerents remain insulated from real-world consequences.

The culture war will probably never be resolved, because it is not a battle but a pastime.

I feel like you are trying to top Confucius with the amount great quotes you come up with.

I read somewhere that idealism increases in proportion to one's distance from the problem. So true, and in no place more true than social media!

I can think of plenty of wars this doesn't describe. It's actually quite common for belligerents to grow less pragmatic as the casualties mount. At the start of the American Civil War Lincoln would have accepted the status quo ante; by the end he knew slavery had to go.

That was a seemingly "practical loss" to him, driven by his side being "ground down" on the issue, realizing that this lynchpin was the reality preventing reconciliation. Your example fits the OP's point remarkably well.

Not really. Culture wars often become conventional wars as culture warriors start proselytizing and forcible conversions. Then reality of conventional war acts as a brake and wears down the culture warriors. Culture wars frequently spawn conventional wars.

Excellent. The culture war demands no sacrifice of capital/resources. Nothing up front. No blood or treasure. A low-investment, no overhead, ideologically driven battle plan.
