The idea that it is a culture 'war' comes out of a right-wing framing.
A (small) group of Conservative Party MPs in the UK have presented it as such and indicated that it's useful to their cause that there is a perceived enemy to unite behind, whether or not they agree with any particular policies.

- notsureaboutpg 6y agoEh, communists also portrayed their struggle against the capitalists as not only a political, military war, but also a cultural/social war. That's why it was called the Cultural Revolution after all. The Communist Party of China explicitly mentioned that the bourgeoisie was using old ideas, culture, and customs to stage a comeback after being overthrown. That squarely places culture in the same realm as the military/political in terms of warfare.
