Excellent point - good way to look at it.
Unfortunately, there are an enormous number of people, even on the right, who are simply too stupid to understand things like this. I see it getting much worse in the future.
Kind of ironic in this sense. Communism is a failed economic philosophy partly because it posits human nature as some would wish it to be instead of how it really is.
The folks on the right who would dismiss the importance of the culture wars are guilty of the same error.
To say “it’s only a song” or “it’s only a movie” - that might be OK if human beings were “above all that”.
But given how people really are - they *are* influenced by these things.
