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 -
To be fair, "not being Biden/Trump" goes a very long way. I'm grudgingly hoping she wins, although my not being American has a lot to do with that (my main concern as a non-American is fitness to lead the free world in the moderately-likely WWIII, and Trump's both old and too egotistical to 25A himself immediately plus comes with a free fifth column due to TDS). Would definitely prefer Vance over Harris, though, because SJ ideology puts question marks over Harris' ability to do the needful in WWIII (e.g. "if a war with China goes nuclear and the PRC is run out of nukes but refuses to surrender, do you have the will to call their bluff, call up the stockpile, and go full countervalue on Chinese cities, or will you sit there refusing to order nine-digit deaths while they use their cities to build more nukes to throw at you?" - I'd trust Vance and Trump to pick option A but I'm not sure about Harris).
Personally, I am in favor of any candidate who would decline to build a nine digit pile of skulls.
Out of curiosity, does that hold true at the cost of your own skull? At the cost of your children’s skull?
What if it’s a more sensible 7-8 digit pile of skulls? (9 digit means reaching at least ~10% of china’s population, which seems excessive).
Most of China's population is urban these days, and you need to blow up most of their industry i.e. cities to ensure no more nukes are built. You also (if they don't surrender) probably want state failure (given Rule 2 of war removes invasion as a feasible possibility for debellatio), which means the farm-to-plate pipeline probably falls apart and those not killed by nukes (or by fallout hitting water supplies) have a high chance of starving to death.
One would certainly hope that after the first few cities sprout mushroom clouds the PRC would surrender, and indeed that would keep it to a 7-digit or 8-digit number, but the problem the PRC has is that its governmental legitimacy to a large extent depends on the promise "under CPC rule, China will reclaim its rightful place as world leader and the Century of Humiliation will end" and they've spent 70 years drilling this promise into the populace; surrender in another war with the West would break that bargain, and so they might refuse to surrender even when that's obvious suicide.
