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 -
Thanks for the thoughtful reply, I was putting off responding to you because I wanted to put effort that was proportional to yours.
Regarding sexism, I think you misread where I'm coming from. These aren't the views I hold, while I don't believe in "equality", in the sense that men and women are the same, I don't believe in superiority either. What I wrote down was more of an exercise in what I would believe, if I thought men are superior to women, and to some extent a rough description of how I parsed the worldview of sexists I ran into IRL. This also ties to the "noblesse oblige". While you might very well be right a sense of obligations for the lower classes seldom comes without a corresponding disdain, I'm arguing the same from the other side - disdain implies obligation.
As for Rotheram itself - if you're not too familiar with it, then you might want to look into some of the details. It's not that I'm obsessed on pinning it on my outgroup, it's that anyone responsible for something like this will be in my outrgroup tautologically. It's so egregious all the typical chin stroking about Moloch, incompetent bureaucracies, systemic isms, or lack of values in the society, simply no longer applies. The police quite literally preferred, and still prefers as the silencing of the victims is ongoing, to cover for rapists than to actually do something about them. You cannot explain this by the shock of the parents' indifference, when you are literally arresting parents trying to rescue their daughters.
I don't particularly care about making this about left vs. right, and I don't particularly care about the causes. I think this is about whether or not people are responsible for their deliberate actions. There seems to be a lot of people in the "no" camp, and even outside of this specific case, particularly the Rat-sphere seems to have devoted a lot of effort into promoting the idea that basic accountability is haram, and all you can do is impotently muse about "Moloch".
