Our take
AI-draftedSarkar's thesis is that Britain's culture wars are not organic clashes of values but a manufactured distraction, engineered by a narrow elite to fragment opposition that might otherwise coalesce around shared material grievances. Reviewers have credited its energy and readability even where they've questioned whether it explains too much through elite design.
