Culture War

This ‘culture war’ label really does give me a rye smile. Anything that anyone would probably fit under the ‘culture’ umbrella - music, theatre, comedy, drama, art etc. has and always will be filled overwhelmingly by those with left wing politics.

If the right are trying to fight a ‘culture’ war what exactly is their culture they are fighting for?

I suppose the definition of culture as in way of life. Things like language, morals, traditions, societal norms - a kind of Sociological culture, rather than luvvies' arty things.

Not sure you can claim that language and morals are exclusively a right wing concept.

No you can't - it's just that tpe of culture that is being 'fought' over. Rather than art, drama, books etc. I was basically just trying to answer your question.
The Arts as culture is essentially high brow culture, mainly for the upper middle classes. Culture is actually the everyday way that we live in a society too. The way we talk, eat, interact - everything we do can be seen as culture, more or less.

I get you. Bizarre that people find that under threat though. All those things naturally evolve over time and are influenced by all sorts.

I don’t think anyone has ever been able to point to one thing historically ‘British’ that can’t be done any more. People just don’t like change and always look back on the past with rose tinted specs when they were in their younger years and pine for the most enjoyable years of their lives. Times change, culture changes, technology and science advances, people change. It’s a fact of life.

No one’s telling you what to think. People are just calling people out for sh*tty behaviour these days. Just because no one called you a prick years ago doesn’t mean you haven’t always been one.

Trouble is Dan, that when you have to actually confront a straight question or explain exactly why you think something, you go strangely quiet and disappear for a few days.

You contribute nothing to a thread except a lot of sneering criticism with nothing to back it up.

It’s almost like some of us have busy jobs, families and friends that take priority.

I log on after clearing up after a busy family barbecue and Dan's got a yellow!

Blimey things must have been hot back there.

I suppose if you're going to get a yellow it's gonna be on the culture war thread.

I think PV has reported every post I’ve made for about 2 years desperately trying to get me banned so he was bound to get lucky once

Well, some of your stuff is funny and you represent your politics which is cool by me.

You and PV have it going on but I'd rather you both buried the hatchet. We're all years long regulars.

I think if Dan were a super hero Quinoa Man would have to be it.

Bound to get filmed sequels being a cereal hero.

I apologize for the sheer awfulness of that joke.
