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 -
Why write so many questions when you clearly already have intended answers for them? Why make another post for the same discussion?
In the end this is meaningless, taste is subjective and I can't do nothing except to say "actually fifth prison cell is good if you give me more shelf space". Yes, majority of people do agree that classical buildings are better looking than modern pragmatic boxes, but they do not think in architectural styles, they mostly think in terms of what is "cool". And I don't see majority of people disagreeing with this gymnasium building being something cool and novel.
Because I want to find the points at which people diverge into disagreement. Starting from the obvious and moving to the obscure seems like a better way to achieve that than smacking each other with contradictions endlessly. Sure, we disagree. why do we disagree, exactly?
And that's the thing. It seems to me that the further you get down the list, the less obvious the answers to the questions get.
Because I'm attempting to approach the discussion from a different angle, and I'm putting enough effort into it that I'd prefer it not be immediately buried deep in a comment tree. Why not do this?
I concede that someone who isn't interested in conversation indeed cannot be conversed with. I do not concede that your statement constitutes an actual answer to the questions above.
I think if you polled people on whether the hallway, stairwell and classroom shots were acceptable for an educational environment, most of them would answer negatively. I think if you posted those pictures on Reddit under a fake headline like "here's the schools Republicans want your kids to attend", you could power New York City for a year off the outrage they'd generate.
