This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
I want people to also internalize that Biden has been at Camp David for the last week preparing for this. He has access to unlimited resources from the most powerful empire that has ever existed. Doctors, psychologists, linguists, actors (to pretend they’re Trump) etc.
These people know that if they lose this, they might lose power and some of them might end up in prison.
And THIS is what they were able to present us with.
Joe Biden is supposed to be the leader and chief executive of the country and commander in chief of our military, and he can’t muster the mental power to have a 90 minute discussion with preset questions, controlled microphones, timed responses, and friendly moderators. There are multiple substantial geopolitical crisis happening all over the world, and it’s his job to lead the team solving them.
This is a problem.
Yeah.
The real concern for me is less that Biden performed badly, but all the prep that must have gone into this, knowing full well that they had to put in a semi-decent 90 minute performance and the maneuvering to give him the best possible timing and environment. And how it flubbed badly out the gate.
And what this implies about how bad Biden must be normally, when he's not in public and surrounded only by staffers who know better than to comment on his mental state.
I was willing to entertain the idea that Biden was not so far gone that he couldn't fulfill the basic duties of office, even if he occasionally (regularly?) got caught on camera having senior moments. I can no longer believe that in any way.
Suspect that debate 2 (if he makes it) they'll just juice him to the gills on stimulants because what do they have to lose?
Edit: Looks like they may already have taken that route.
