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.
Jump in the discussion.

This validates all the people who were calling DOGE, Elon, and the GOP Nazis, but at the same time…they already thought they were Nazis and always would think that regardless of what happened.
The question is how this affects the normies who don’t really follow politics or news and aren’t the type to flip out over racism charges. Reading the tweets it sounds like basic internet edgelordism, maybe Indians would be the most likely to take great offense, but they’re a tiny electorate soooo, whatever? Elon defended them earlier and has that Akash kid o his team, so it’s probably a wash
But how does this bring DOGE back? Legal obstruction is the main impediment and remains entirely there
As a related aside - are charges of racism pretty much dead now? Feels like calling Trump a fascist nazi for all of the last 10 years only for him to be re elected by even a higher majority = nobody really cares what leftists think about who is racist anymore, at least in America. The print media are dying, elite opinion is shrinking force in politics.
I think this overestimates the average person's familiarity with internet culture. Most people over the age of say, 40, I think would still find these pretty shocking things to say in any context, and with politics starting to de-align on age again these are definitely plausible Democratic voters. It's hard to spin this as a 'charge' of racism when he literally self identified as a racist.
He self identified within a meme format, sort of like all his other offensive and private tweets, but older people probably won’t get that like you said
I mean he only has himself to blame if people don't 'get it'. Don't broadcast yourself endorsing hatred of an entire race! Not that difficult.
When you’re an anon presumably you’re operating under the assumption your only audience is people who do get it though. This information is all coming out in bad faith, to undermine DOGE. Same playbook they used against the truckers, accuse racism to rally opposition

You'd think they would have learned from what happened after Fox "News" spent the better part of two decades calling Everyone and everything left of Reaganism-Thatcherism 'communist'....
Not really the same thing though. As far as conceptual super-weapons are concerned, racist had 100x the power than communist

LOL, it's hard to learn from stuff which didn't actually happen.

Now that you mention it it's pretty funny to think of this from the pov of Indians. Vivek got removed from DOGE after his anti-american tweet. Big Balls is removed and then rehired after his anti-indian tweet.
Lomez tweeted this:
You don't have to do anything just because people who hate you say you have to.
The Indian people who work with this young man have forgiven him. Reasonable people can make mistakes. They can also forgive and change. But a hate mob howling for blood is incapable of forgiveness and must never be fed.
Is there any evidence this guy changed any of his opinions? These tweets were posted months ago lol, I doubt his views toward Indians have changed very much in the meantime.
Opinions? He was shitposting on Twitter under an alt.
He clearly had no problem working with Indians since no one noticed his "racism" until they mounted a relatively sophisticated cyber investigation into him.
The only reason they do these investigations (which must require significant resources to constantly track, monitor, and archive social media and tie alts to real people) is they think they can just play a "you win" card whenever they dig something up. Turns out, we can just ignore the card and they waste all that time and money on nothing. No one actually cares, it's all fake outrage.

The funniest aspect of all this is the slowly growing realization among the Brahmins -actual subcontinental Brahmins, not just crunchy lefties - that being imported en masse to the USA by visa abuse does not mean acceptance of their presence. The Brahmins have thought themselves so smart, speaking ill of other minorities while sucking up to the majority race, and at the same time turning around to call the majority race idiots who need the guidance of the Brahmins. Turns out its not that the Brahmins needed better shudras to improve their loka, its that the Brahmins weren't entitled to prosperity to begin with.
