Culture War Roundup for the week of January 20, 2025

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.

As someone who disagrees with him on some stuff and listens to his videos regularly, this is IMO a fair characterisation.

Calling him a grifter is wrong. He sells some online courses*, but he mostly analyzes politics from a particular perspective. He isn't obviously or even covertly shilling for anyone. I believe he provides a valuable service there. Ofc he's not infallible, and he doesn't understand tech much, but that's yet not a huge downside.

He has many informative videos that are bang on. E.g. "Boomer Truth Regime" Elite Theory, analysis of Western Elites Power lies with organised minorities.

He's also not opposed to having some fun. He plays/reviews video games and long organised a twitter 'tournament' judging the sexiest women .. Amusingly, despite hundreds of challengers, it was almost always won by Jennifer Connelly(if she was in the running).. Kept providing amusing sports-like comments for it..

*these might even be good. I was fairly impressed with his book, the 'Populist Delusion'. Well argued, well researched, doesn't waffle around. Good for informing normies, it starts out softly. There's no attempt at edgelording or anything like that either.
