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 -
These sound like very serious problems. I would be in favor of trying to cooperate with Europe in trying to fix them, if Europe hadn't convinced me that they are implacably dedicated to the destruction of my society and my values. Given that they have done that, why should my tax dollars, the attention of my politicians, and the lives of my fellow countrymen go to propping up a system whose agents absolutely would see me persecuted by the full power of the state for exercising what I perceive to be core human rights of conscience and liberty?
We are able to fight, and we are not helpless in the face of foreign propaganda, or domestic propaganda for that matter. Maybe you should have done things differently somewhere along the line, if this is where your choices have led you? If you have nothing to offer Red Tribe but scorn, why should Red Tribe cooperate with you?
I will say that 'Europe' is of course ultimately a collection of people and tribes, layered over with a set of NGOs. Many of us are not implacably dedicated to the destruction of your society and values - quite the opposite. If America were to make military aid conditional on European progressives shutting down shop a la Vance, many of us would be quite happy to take that offer. It wouldn't be frictionless or permanent, of course, relationships between vassal and master never are, but relationships with Red Tribe could surely be better than they are.

What are you talking about? Who wants the destruction of your society and your values? Do you spend too much time on reddit? Europeans would love to visit the US and shoot guns and shit , even the left-wingers . I believe that these statements you make come in direct contradiction to your statement ' we are not helpless in the face of foreign propaganda ' , the literal russian playbook is sowing discord , confusion and making us enemies and it seems to me that it's working, if not on you at least on a lot of MAGA Americans. The issues you have with the European left-wingers are the same issues European conservatives have with them , the same exact way I dislike the American left, so what exactly is the problem? If anything the problems are internal for each of us. I guess you can make the case that Europe is more left-leaning etc but so what? You want to give up on the entire continent over what exactly? The Danish fought in afghanistan for you and your dummy of a president just keeps on going at them and here you are speaking over tribes and value theories. In fact the whole Ukraine thing can certainly be blamed on you since you are the NATO member that decides on policy and now after setting the chess board you want to remove the queen and leave the pawns to get fucked?
In any case all of these morality talk is unnecessary. The US holds the role of global hegemon in part because of it's influence over Europe, alienating us and losing that is not only morally wrong but most certainly also bad geopolitics. That's the issue , your president making bad decisions one after the other and bowing down to Putin , not whether my feelings are hurt.
