Notes -
I think it is that it is because we are living in the time of quagmires and stalemates. Everything devolves into quagmire eventually. When something genuinely new happens - there is flurry of new comments and new perspectives - from which usually the quality contributions come.
Israel - Gaza - stalemate and quagmire - there is no reason to see the conflict differently than in 2024, because nothing new has happened. Same with Ukraine, Iran, housing, cost disease, cost of living, the inevitable march of AI that will doom us all or immigration. On the culture side - netflix will continue to cast black men as vikings, cossaks and queen elizabeth, western game female game characters will be ugly, writing in everything will be shit, but the parasites are not killing the host fast enough - so the decay will continue. Surveillance state is here to stay as are stabbings by immigrants in Europe.
They only really interesting culture war events lately was Clancy trial and the pushback against the cornell rape story - and i would say both generated quality content.
The culture war is one of attrition now - and read - All Quiet on the Western Front about how eventually participants in one feel.
