People on the progressive side hold two conflicting positions on this: the Culture War is real, and they are winning it, while the other side is just imagining it.

On the one hand, progressives insist that there is no such thing as “wokery” It is all just a figment of the febrile imagination of mad right-wingers.

But at the same time, they will triumphantly crow about how their side is winning the culture war and how there is nothing their opponents can do about it.

Why is it a problem if people take a certain pride in the fact that Britain is the birthplace of the Industrial Revolution , and of modern parliamentary democracy? A shared, positive national story, even if it is slightly idealised, has its benefits.

A society which is at ease with itself, and which celebrates itself, is probably better at integrating newcomers than a society which celebrates performative collective self-loathing.
