    I do not know that the word "regurgiated" exists in the English language.   It is certainly not in any edition of the OED.
    Is the "cult of Brideshead" really important enough for you to be concerned about it?   Arabs are murdering Jews;  Arabs are murdering other Arabs;  Arabs are murdering Christians.   And your big anxiety is about Brideshead's perhaps regressive social agenda?   What is a "regressive social agenda"?
    Go somewhere.   Learn to think.   Try to understand what is happening in the wider world.   What has your university taught you?   Not how to think – that is certain.
