Sorry Pagan, I'm yankin' your chain.
Your initial presentation is valid enough, and I don't think many would disagree with it's main points.
The political stuff seemed strange, in the context of the rest of the presentation.
It felt like a bait-and-switch, a 'false premise' argument. As if that were the real main point of your presentation, for which the rest was a kind of cover.
In modern political rhetoric, it's what's called a 'poison pill' argument.
It was probably more of a stream-of-conciousness thing, thoughts strung together as they poured out of the writing parts of the mind.
It's not like we don't all know there's still a big culture-war going on.
