In so far as there are variations in culture within the population there are nearly the same variations of culture within the working class. Hence comments on "culture" _or_ on "personal experience" are intrinsically counter-productive from a progressive viewpoint, since the tendency of such comments is to divide the working class against itself in theory and hence contribute to its fragmentation in practice.
While I would agree that the great majority of the population is working class, I do not see how comments can be intinsically anything. They are comments and do not have an essence.
A comment regarding "culture" or "personal experience" is only divisive when a person uses it in a divisive fashion or a person decides to interpret the comment divisively. In theory anything can be divisive (hence my suspicion of theory since anything is possible). It all depends on use.
