I agree with you. My intuition says the culture war is a proxy for a class war, somehow, although I readily admit I can't yet formulate this rationally in much detail. I'm in my forties, and from my point of view, gender and race relations had been on a clear uptrend up until about 5 years ago. The continuous gender and race baiting on social media appears to be almost entirely driven by a certain stripe of feminist, who are able to project all their struggling in life onto white men, who are approximately as economically disadvantaged as they are in the big picture. Young people are hallucinating 'nazis' and 'fascists' everywhere, meanwhile real neo-nazis and fascists almost never make any appearance in these mudslinging debacles. It all seems tragic to me. People opting for small tribal solidarity over broad class solidarity.
