Hypothesis: It takes 3 human generations of economic growth agnostic to a given cultural rift to heal said cultural rift. If there's a power gradient across the rift, you need more generations. Any flagging of growth reactivates the rift and resets the 3+ generation clock.
that is really bleak and suggests that cultural healing is impossible under normal conditions

can I suggest an alternate hypothesis because I do think that cultural healing is possible? an event of significant shared purpose heals cultural rifts in 1 generation. if things feel especially bad now it's because we haven't had a significant shared purpose in while.
