Hypothesis: We’re seeing the start of something big this holiday season while nobody was looking. The culture war is entering its financialized chapter. From now on, “follow the money” principle will apply. You can start to ignore what people say and focus on who they pay.
That’s always been the case. I think you are hoping for “legibility” of these opaque financial transactions... e.g. via court filings. You will only be partially satisfied I suspect.

No it’s not always been the case. For years there was no money in culture-warring. That’s why it remained marginal. In the last 2 years it’s poured in. Now mechanisms are adapting. I’m not thinking court filings. Simple routine reporting will reveal a lot.

I respectfully disagree. There’s always been tons of money in it, just not obvious or visible. I can provide examples as far back as Nixon.
