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.

Thanks, I also understand it better than everyone I know since I went from trying to seek cooperation on the internet to seeking just truth
No, pajeet far right, sikhs or muslims, both hold a seething resentment against Hindus, upper castes like me in particular for hbd and historical factors. No one who is boilogically a real anglo would ever care ebough.
Indians, the subcontinent is not aryan anymore, has not been aryan for a while and sikhs and muslims especially are even less aryan as they are mostly from middle castes, you still find traces of aryan character and changes in physiognomy in some members of the upper castes but it is closer to 1 in 100 or 1000 or maybe more. Consider this, I am paler than almost every single girl I have met here, skin and hair wise despite being a guy and I am not really pale lol. Stuff like this is very trivial but unfortunately people really care way too much about it.
Pajeet twitter jokes about a pajeetocide regularly and the place is beyond fixing, you have lost the smart people and put people shown in the documentary in charge who are the majority here.
No, and they have a massive inferiority complex about the world, so you cannot give them a real answer. You had people from India making claims about calculus being stolen or the Brits stealing more money than there are atoms in the solar system from the nation to avoid accepting that this is a high civilization that fell, where the fall coincides with the decimation of human capital.
And the Indian TFR is below 2 now, the people with the most kids are lower castes, muslims and middle castes. Upper castes have given up, the impotent rage they display by calling whites name is projection since people here cannot deport their problems away.
No one is forcibly sterilizing them, you just have worse people and institutions here. There is not much that can be done now, go spend half an hour on caste twitter and then half an hour on Nick Lands account, whilst he was working on xenosystems, caste twitter was still stuck in pretending that their race is "European" because 2 guys won a noble prize, whilst italians and Spaniards have not, hence they now outwit the Japanese and Scandinavians on a per capita basis, statements so stupid that it would not surprise you to know that these are the same people who got kicked out of Punjab by khalistanis. Some from my caste are no better, claiming that top 1 percent of upper castes is smarter than any in the rest of the world, the level of dishonesty here makes you question ones sanity, self-identification being made a factor of hbd means people fucked up and have to find rationalisations forhaving basic human sentiments but the inherent identity that they had was depedent on being slightly better than village dwellers of India.
There is no saving from terminal cancer, so why should anyone want to save people where the upper end is busy indulging in mental masturbation of the kind where their worldview is composed a glaring inferiority complex they can never let go of?
