You, um, let them do it?
How so, you ask? A cultural acceptance of hero worship, rugged capitalism, and global dominion. A lack of adequate reflexivity. Yes, it’s cultural, which puts some atom of power in every resident’s hands and mouth.
It's not a culture war, that's just the dressing. It's a class war using nationalism and culture as a scapegoat.
There's a reason why fascism is on a drastic rise across all western democracies. The monied class across all liberal democracies have acquired enough political capital to where they've essentially taken away all options but violence, another commodity they maintain a monopoly over for now.
I'm sure your country is has a growing reactionary party riding the wave of right winged populism washing over liberalism, what are you doing about it?
Sorry, bud, the cultural issues that led us here aren’t so much about your cultural civil war that is mostly just class war in disguise. It’s a both sides problem at the heart of the empire, the one where even the poor folks are okay with 800+ bases on foreign soil, etc.
