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 -
Short little off tangent rant, India lacks a right-wing since it is a place where the demographics are mostly OBC and below so the upper castes get shut out of things. I was a big part of what people call Hindu Twitter which at the time (2020) seemed interesting but like all movements has gotten stale after its main talking point got exhausted. The bulk of it is mostly upper castes and some middle castes who now call every white a Wignat (Wigger nationalist), a term no one outside of them and Nick Fuentes has used. I heard Nick use it for Richard Spencer as Spencer did not care much for Christianity. The main issue for hindu twitter was ofc caste and how the grievances exist but people above the middle class do not know about them
Well, all of Hindu Twitter thinks that all whites are evil racist and are wishing for a Kamala win so that the US gets flooded with migrants and explicitly wishing for bad things to happen. This is a hilariously incorrect understanding of the world. People like Thiel or Musk may have racial preferences but are not out-and-out white nationalists or white supremacists. Ironically, all their talking points are recycled from other tweets, so you never get any mindful discourse there. People too full to even read Moldbug are not in it for intellectual honesty or rigor.
This tweet calls thiel a racist which is just false since his fund for the longest time was run by an Indian guy. Anti-Indian sentiment has grown primarily because some Indians are smart and have representation in white collar anglo society which disqualifies them from being treated with kid gloves. Top that off with a population of 1.5 billion with low hbd and high levels of distrust and you get legit hygiene, call centre scams issues. Some Indian founder pointed this out and got called racist by Hindu Twitter.
My big reason behind leaving the discourse was realising that most people there are too bitter to ever do anything well in life, more than that calling 1990s liberal viewpoints and some viral tweets a sign of extreme anti-India racism seems a little wild. Elon Musk is not bankrolling racism against people, if he were, he would simply hire based on that which he does not. The perpetual need to be a victim is hilarious. I ofc don't want to have this comment reach the people on twitter as I like beigng anon but it is simply hilarious.
I will never go back to that place, I wish I never wandered there in the first place given how negative everyone there is.
Curious since the BJP enthusiasts I know personally are pro-Trump and point to his anti immigration stance as one reason why.
Hindu Twitter has way way too much bitterness, so to sound contrarian, people probably picked this stance up. I find zero sense in it as actual racists are not running anything serious in the US (white ones I meant).
Bitterness leads to victimhood and that is what this is. Many on that faction even unironically advocated for open defection and child marriages.
Yeah, we've got a lot of people unironically advocating for open defection here in the states as well.
It is extremely stupid. The Hindu twitter faction justified it by saying that any and all traditions are sacred so we shouldn't question that.

I've seen this term being used plenty in American far-right Twitter, though perhaps less than in previous years?
Maybe partly because it sounds like "wingnut".

Hindu twitter gets everything from Pop American right wing, I am yet to meet anyone there who has read anything beyond tweets. The term they used for themselves for instance was trad which they copied from trad caths who likely copied it from actual traditionalists like evola and guenon.
The basic issue is that once you dig deep enough and realise that a lot of scriptures that are considered scriptures are just made up (kalki avatar for instance), you would come to the realisation that the shared identity people have even on this niche community is on shaky grounds. Add in them knowing little about history or political science and you get this kind of rhetoric. The place is best left alone, no one there is doing anything worthwhile.
