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 -
It became low status around mid 2018 but lingered until around mid 2021, when it finally died out when Nick Fuentes, the last holdout, had his twitter account suspended. Also, de-platforming . It's hard to create a movement when its members keep being arrested or booted off every platform. I think the alt-right has been replaced by the ethno-trad right, especially on Twitter starting in 2021. It's composed of popular people like Cernovich and Posobiec who evaded the de-platforming that plagued alt-right, and puts much more emphasis on Christianity, self-improvement, and mainstream conservative politics (generally a white pill message) compared to the alt-right, which tended to be more negative, nihilistic, and eschew mainstream politics. I think the alt-right became associated with doomerism and larping, which made it low status. The 4chan people however are not going away but they don't seem to have as much influence as they had in the past, before 2018
From 2015-2018 or so was a period of indecisiveness and uncertainty. The Obama era was closing, and then Trump against all odds won, but no one knew what was next. There was an opportunity for fringe movements like the alt-right to fill this gap. But by early 2021 with the inauguration of Biden, it became clear what the stakes were: the woke vs. anti-woke, but the alt-right does not fit into this categorization or paradigm, so it became irrelevant.
Interestingly enough 4chan itself is also increasily becoming whitepill affiliated. I don't lurk /pol/ because I value my sanity, but across /lit/ /fit/ /int/ and some of the video game boards there is a notable uptick in christian clean living as counterculture towards modern woke consumerism. Raw Egg Nationalism, Bronce Age Mindset, Harassment Architecture, Which Way Modern Man, you are my best soldier, if there was no hope their propaganda would be futile are all memes, books or buzzwords becoming more mainstream across all boards. Most notable is goyslop, which encapsulates the general disdain for modern society and the garbage it feeds it's citizenship, which is bordering on spilling over into the mainstream.
I think the whitepill is the successor microtribe to the redpill, because it is way more fit from an evolutionary psychology standpoint. A redpiller may find himself ostracised from society and become a complete loser through his tribal affiliation, while a whitepiller may even increase his standing among other tribes through it just by becoming rich, handsome etc. etc. How beneficial a tribe is for the tribesmen long term is imo the strongest parameter for it's staying power.
I'm sorry, what? Is this literal n-word towers?
That one is a book by Mike Ma. Kind of infamous on /lit/, given that Mike Ma pilfered in style from Behead All Satans, which was written on /lit/ itself. Quite archetypical for the 4chanesque interpretation whitepill in a way, it is sort of like an amphetamine fueled trip through a world of paranoid delusions and various forms of extreme racism and mysigony, all coalescing in a general dislike of industrialisation and a call to hit the gym as hard as possible. It is a wild read, side splittingly hilarious at times when Mike Ma goes off on semi self-aware rants about poison in the tapwater and estrogenic chemicals in cashier receipts.
Now that was a paragraph I was not expecting to read today. Or ever really. I know what my popcorn reading will be this weekend.
Do tell me what you think of it when you read it, I wonder how all of the political shock factor and hyperviolence comes across when one isn't as in tune with chan culture.
