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 -
This is called Torrens title, and it is the norm in the world outside the US. The goals of the system are the mirror principle (the register reflects the title, so that anyone who knows they are dealing with the registered proprietor can buy the property without needing to investigate the title or pay for insurance), the curtain principle (anything not needed to deliver the mirror principle, such as the identity of the beneficiaries if the registered owner is a trust, is off the register), and the indemnity principle (anyone who loses money due to the registrar's error, such as allowing a forged deed to be registered, is indemnified at public expense). The details of how this is achieved varies subtly between jurisdictions, but in all case the key is that a State-maintained centralised register is inherently as trustworthy as the underlying State-enforced land title (so blockchain adds no value).
Googling suggests a widespread lack of curiosity as to why the US has not adopted Torrens titles. The best good reason I found is that land law is a State function, and the States cannot impose a register-it-or-lose-it rule on the Feds as applied to e.g. Federal tax liens, meaning that a State-issued Torrens title could not be a true mirror. The likely bad reason is that title insurers have successfully lobbied against the change.
