I don't think you're wrong per se, but I don't think GP is arguing that american "culture wars" are a media fabrication, just that it's meaningless, except for some wackos.
The problem is how the media (including social media) amplifies it.
- mbg721 4y agoI don't think it's true that they're meaningless, though; non-wacko people do have deeply-held values and get upset when public policy runs counter to them. The nihilistic viewpoint is more a symptom of getting used to politicians who pay lip-service to those values but break their promises.
- ratww 4y agoSure, agreed, but the point is that the “deeply-held values” you mention aren’t really the petty “culture wars” stuff.
