Today's culture wars (a very accurate term) were a response to the policy of forced economic exploitation of multiculturalism, which for many countries in the West was a logical continuation of colonialism. We will not deny (and your analysis and examples in the article confirm this thesis) that globalization has been an economic phenomenon, beneficial from an economic point of view. No one has ever pledged to love and respect the representatives of other cultures and peoples who live in our society only from the principles of humanism. If these people do not consume your goods and services, i.e. are not customers of Amazon, Apple, McDonald's and Starbucks, they become unnecessary. This is the root cause, the seed of the culture war. Multiculturalism was from the beginning a substitution of concepts (there is no such thing as multiculture, each culture is unique) because it was an economic phenomenon and nobody thought about its socio-cultural consequences. The culture wars will widen and deepen, this is the payment for decades of global business models practiced in the West.
