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 -
No it didn't, lol. You were making a categorical error of a premise you either didn't know was impossible, or did know but choose to dishonestly advance.
Why do you think a banal practice in history is weird, other than your lack of historical understanding not knowing it's not exceptional?
Of course you do, otherwise you wouldn't know if they are Jewish as a religion, Jewish as a culture, Jewish as an ethnic identity, or Jewish as a label that others impose onto them but which they have no particular feelings about.
You believe 61% of a demographic voted for Joe Biden because they support making your life miserable, as opposed to having different perceptions of what is good or that voting for Trump might result in bad things? And that this proves that 2% of the population is responsible for about 50% of the terrible things you hear about?
You may not be making a compelling point, but I am glad you are making it publicly.
This would be a very good indication that you don't know enough to characterize Jews beyond stereotypes you have no ability to recognize the validity or flaws of.
1984 is not only considerably less than 100 years old, but it was also not a warning about Jews.
It did, however, make significant points on the use of manufactured hate against outgroups as a form of social control of the manipulated masses to direct their hatred at acceptable targets rather than actual issues.
Why does something so small impress you, when insights of the political influence of publishers has been a phenomenon for centuries prior? Forget yellow journalism or American founding father gripes on media bias, one of the bloodiest periods in European history kicked off because of the power of the press, the aftereffects shaped fundamental American political traditions.
Conflating all American media as owned by a singular dynamic as opposed to there being a diversity dynamic is also a classic conspiracy theory, but still a conspiracy theory.
There is an amusing parallel to be made to the greek philosophers on timeless issues, but you wouldn't get it.
Your lack of historical understanding would be why you don't understand why 1984 did not say that.
1984 was a critique of ideological totalitarianism, especially the sort associated with the fascist and communist ideologies. It was not a general characterization of anti-traditionalism, nor was it any sort of accurate characterization of state capabilities of 1883 or other pre-industrial eras. It was certainly not advocating for racial stereotyping and grievances of political opponents.
It was, however, extremely critical of historical ignorance.
Your views come off less coherent and reasoned, frankly.
Nietzshe is a particularly bad philosopher to crib from without historical understanding, not least because he was a terrible historian who tried to use history for his narratives, and also because his was a mess made worse by many of his followers who simply cribbed what they liked in isolation for whatever project they wanted.
Why should I hate entire groups of people I have never been exposed to and have no understanding of?
There's only so much energy to be had, and plenty of more familiar grievances to be upset over and individuals specifically responsible for them. Hating entire groups is a good indicator of a need to get offline, go outside and touch grass, and then learn more about members of the group other than the hated individuals.
Why should I make judgements of entire groups of ideologically diverse people on the basis that some minute number of them may be powerful elites who influence me?
Am I supposed to be insecure? A seething victim? Jealous?
I do not believe so, but I'm also not sure where you find the error to be, could you elaborate?
Because, if the same thing occurs many times in isolation, it's because there's a good reason for it. People can do stupid things and influence eachother, but if the same event happens multiple times in different places which are too distant in time or place to give the other the idea, it points at something in reality. If I go to a club and 20 people are rude to me, perhaps I just pissed off an important person, it means nothing. But if I go to another town far away where nobody knows me, and people at that club are rude, then the cause is either something particular to me, or particular to clubs.
Discrimination against homosexuals seems to be of the same category. (Yes, I'm implying that homosexuals are statistically significantly different in a way that human pattern recognition will pick up on)
I can go by name or the "early life" Wikipedia section. I've seen too many jewish people be in a superposition of "white" and "non-white" and choosing exactly the one which brings them the biggest advantage at said time. I'm not nearly stupid enough to fall for that.
That being jewish makes one much more likely to support left-wing positions like mass-immigration would show a positive correlation with the desire to destroy western society (the outcome of mass-immigration). You can judge people on what they deem "good things" to me. But 90% of the population are so stupid that we can only attribute their values to stupidity rather than malice. The same cannot be said for those sufficiently intelligent.
You're outing yourself here, not me.
It's one example out of many books which predict the future. And my main point is that it says "Don't do X, X would be a terrible idea", and then you see powerful people push for X. Now, these powerful people have no excuse, we can attribute their actions to malice rather than stupidity, as the consequences of X are well known. And if you personally hate intelligent people pushing for X, you're justified in your hate.
Because many spaces have been considered "far left" for supporting freedom of speech until about 10 years ago, where freedom of speech somehow turned into a right-wing value. Classical liberalism and modern liberalism are almost opposites at this point, and most people I've seen mention it will say that it changed 10 or 20 years ago. Even back doing "occupy wall street" I still felt like there was support for the "little people" against the elite by the internet and the media, but now the media is the corrupt elite. And the same Reddit which joined the protest in defense of freedom will now ban you for wrong-think. To notice 30 years prior to this that the media is just pretending to care about freedom as it supports the interests of a wealthy elite is impressive to me. Then again, I'm young and didn't get involed in politics before my video games and internet privacy got attacked.
Last time I checked, basically all American media (90%) was owned by 6 companies, but even this is outdated knowledge and it implies that these 6 have no influence between eachother (which is false). I stick to facts, I do not care if somebody labels facts as conspiracies, or that some conspiracies exaggerate the facts. You can say "conspiracy!" some more, but I'm immune to pretty social status attacks.
The 1984 take (which has nothing to do with Nietzsches work, I know) goes "Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right". Perhaps every tyrannical power has a tendency to rewrite history ("history is written by the victors" after all). It could also just be a psychological thing - that every era and culture considers itself to be correct in a timeless manner. In any case, I remain undeceived by said illusion.
I'm aware. And I don't think it matters what exactly it's criticizing? Do you know those "Fascism checklists" that you can find online? One of the points is "Pacifism is trafficking with the enemy". I'm not one of those people who go "Fascism is right-wing by design, so anything not right-wing must have nothing in common with fascism". No matter where it manifests, I'm critical of that "You're either with us or against us" kind of thinking. I recognize the abstract pattern anywhere it occurs, in any form in which it can appear. It's the same with the warnings found in 1984. It doesn't matter to me which political party says something deceptive, I recognize it as deceptive. I'm against everything which acts like totalitarianism, and my mathematical intuition makes it easy to tell if two things act the same. Generalizing above words and labels helps avoiding accidental hypocrisy. If you're an intellectual which leans verbal it's possible that this doesn't make sense to you.
Yes, and that's despite dumbing down what I'm trying to communicate. If you are having any difficulty with any of my writing, then there's no way you can evaluate Nietzsche. He deals with much higher levels of abstraction than I do here.
That's why heuristics are necessary. Statistics are also real despite being unfair. If you go to a bad neighbourhood known for high rates of theft, then you should hold on to your belongings. You have no reason to think that any individual there is a criminal, but it would be silly to let yourself be stolen from enough times that you singlehandedly have enough statistics to prove that the area is unsafe. That would require like 100 different people stealing from you in that area of the city. And you'd have to start over again in the next city, as it's filled with different people!
My almost 4SD pattern recognition has been a great help to me. How can you live without such a thing? Are you one of those upper-class people who can preach left-wing garbage because you live in a gated community where discrimination has much less value for survival? I do recognize that there's a trade-off between psychological health and guarding against negative elements of life, and I don't take it too far and become bitter like Incels tends to do, so there's no need to worry.
