Maybe not the right thread but this opinion piece is interesting:
Liberal Hypocrisy is Fueling Inequality
Blue States*, You Are The Problem: Why do states with Democratic majorities fail to live up to their ideals.
* you probably know but in the states, blue is the color symbol for the Democratic Party, red for Repubs, which I believe is the opposite of the UK's Labour/Tory colors

Jon Ronson and Adam Curtis on the culture wars: ‘How has this happened? Where is the escape hatch?’
As Ronson’s BBC podcast Things Fell Apart begins, the documentary-makers and old friends discuss conspiracy theories, the problem of ‘activist journalists’ and what happened to Ceaușescu’s socks

This was the interesting bit, for me;
"Yes, these people have got caught up in the great tides of history that have come sweeping over them. It feels real. If you follow people who are acted upon, you start to understand, in a much more sympathetic way, why people do things that you might not like or approve of. You see how someone is led to something, with no idea of the consequences."

RONSON. One thing I've noticed about you is that you're a combination of Jesus and Jimi Hendrix.
CURTIS. That's not true actually. I spend all my time cleaning your underpants.
RONSON. Do you remember that time when we both had ten million pounds each?
CURTIS. Yes but neither of us acted any different.

I think wanking on about "real people" is the most efficient way to make yourself sound like an out-of-touch member of the elite.

I've said this a million times: twitter/media hysteria about many "culture war" issues is meaningless to most people outside that relatively small bubble. it's not even that they don't care, it's that they're unaware it's even a thing.
