Like, I kind of assumed they were a artificially cultivated long con by American (or perhaps anglo in general) politicians made up to consolidate power but it sounds like they're kind of a recurring thing across several civilizations

But it ties into the divide that's existed in the US since Europeans started showing up: Race. Urban areas are typically more culturally and racially diverse. Rural areas tend to be white and Christian. This is the real divide, imo.
oh definitely, that's what i think the greatest cleavage is---i just wanted to leave the door open for other directions.
its not simply where non-white people live though, places are very much racialized in ways that don't conform to demographic realities. white rural folk and suburbanites think predominantly white cities are "dominated" by minorities because of the segregationist policies of the 20th century, and this is confirmed in their heads by the fact minorities are actually visible in day-to-day life; instead of enduring the very worst conditions & labor in their communities just out of sight @ rural meatpacking plants and agricultural labor
