Is it something that has to do with social relations and milieu, or is it more random variation?

    eh I'd argue that there's a real conflict between national/extractive and international/financial capital right now that has both economic and cultural elements. It's all part of Small Capital vs Big Capital, which are genuinely two factions with competing interests atm

      I feel like what we see the most up front is by and large the cultural element of this clash. In America economic interests are rarely ever brought up politically as people accept the default ideology and let the corporations do their thing.

      I think the interesting question is why exactly do they diverge culturally, and what significance does that hold.
