  1. AUSTRALIAN HERE: This Political Culture War fighting for the sake of fighting and making as much noise as possible is not simply an American problem. It might be more prominent in America but we all have some version of this garbage. No matter what ideology a party has they all have these people who's job is to waste other people's time by making as noise and creating as much chaos as possible. Its more prevalent on the Right but the Left do it as well. How I know about this is because one of my best friends was involved in student politics at University in Australia. I actually went to college in America (late 80s). I was there during the 87 campaign season which was bizarre. One time when discussing the hopelessness of politics with this friend he told me I had know idea how bad it actually was. After hearing a number of horror stories including how those on hos own side tried to set him up. I asked WHY student politics so vicious and WHY the parties supported it? He said the parties used it as a proving ground. He said they wanted to know if people could "hack it" if they made it into parliament (congress). The actual party systems themselves are set up and operate like Districts 1 & 2 from the Hunger Games. They are internally ruthless so that they produce winners or at least potential winners. The actual capability of party candidates has NOTHING to do with their ability to do anything of value to any society. They have to first be electable and secondly be able to stay elected. if that means they are a hardcore ruthless berserker type culture warriors then so be it. What's perfect about such people is they are perfect for the billionaire class. They give the billionaires what they want while keeping everyone else distracted.
