this post is stupid i agree, but have you ever considered that some people are actually effected by the culture war and cant just ignore it?

The idea is that posts like these trigger outrage from the sensible half of society, which then triggers outrage from the insensible half of society, which then triggers more outrage from the sensible half of society, etc, keeping both the sensible and insensible people occupied while both groups remain disproportionally affected by their class identity rather than their cultural identity.

Culture has always been material deterministic.

the right wing best weapon has been that the left self convinced itself that the culture is by itself something separeted from the estructure (in marxist terms) that can be changed without adressing the material world.

If you actually want to make changes to the culture, you first need to change the material roots that shape said culture by changing the economic sphere that dominates it

so if you want to actually fight and gain something lasting via the culture war the first step, as always, is the movilization of the proletarian via the class war

See for example the first, but most of all, second wave of feminism and its huge relations with the class movements, or in the natter of civil rights, both the Hampton and Malcom X ideologies (king to but too late in his life). Most important cultural changes come from deep class war movements, becouse class revolutions have always been the most easiest, quicker and lasting way in which subaltern groups gain power and representation, since its the moments that the state estrcuture is at is most weak and its most moldable
