Is it just me or is the 'culture war' sort of winding down, as in most people have moved on and are no longer that invested in 'sticking it to the other side'?

- dumpsterdiver 3y agoI think many people have indeed grown exhausted from it, and no longer participate. Anecdotally, while I will still respond to especially egregious takes, more often these days I just roll my eyes and tell myself it’s not worth feeding the trolls.
- Nasrudith 3y agoI don't know if I'd call it a culture war winding down. There are still plenty of channels putting out their talking points incessantly. But there is willful bubbling going on in response to it. Not because of the standard any bupkis evil big tech boosting engagement narrative. Hell, the opposite is happening these days as you find the people paying for unreportable youtube ads are political ads who would immediately be flagged into oblivion as misinformation if they could. No, the bubbling is personal and deliberately engaged in due to lack of interest. They have already heard the same old talking points and dismissed it as absolute crap repeatedly and found nobody pays attention to the emperor's nudity despite its obviousness and the number of times they pointed it out.
- HerbMcM 3y agoWouldn't that be even more worrying rather than less? Your comment brings to mind a picture of people in a dinner table discussing where to draw secession border lines over food and drink, since the 'culture war' phase is over.
