"Culture Wars" falsely frames social change in terms of a "war," when history tells us otherwise. Sure, social change often comes about AFTER wars, but it's unpredictable, and based in cultural forms that existed prior to the war.

These "Culture Wars" are perpetual. They're Orwellian constructs, and we buy into them.

Social change doesn't happen that way. It's always organic. It cannot be sourced from anywhere except US, as individuals, acting in concert with other individuals.

By definition.

That makes Trump's win in 2024 particularly aggravating. It means we are failing to change society. That it's changing in the wrong direction. It's reverting to old, comfortable norms.
