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 -
I think the biggest problem the Democrats have is that they don't understand their enemies. If you go on reddit, they think that the average conservative is a fan of Andrew Tate. I've actually basically been banned because my karma got so low from pointing out how ridiculous it is that the average conservative would support a black Muslim pimp who pimps out white women. Reddit can be excused a but because they skew young and are extremely online, but I've seen older Democrats in the MSM think the same thing. So they basically have no understanding of why and to whom they actually lost.
Their other big problem is that they don't want to represent what America is but instead what they want it to be. They obviously aren't stupid enough to not see what policy positions they need to take to win, but they still refuse to do it. So clearly, representing the will of the people and giving them the government they want is not their number one goal.
Last thing is DEI sucks. I've seen DEI hires get trusted to do things they clearly aren't capable of doing and mess things up. Then, real hires have to come in and fix the job. Of course, once the DEI hire has ben exposed as incompetent, they never actually get rid of them. So you end up with a bunch of useless people collecting paychecks. Everyone except those whose paycheck depends on the DEI grift continuing can see this, so this is a huge loss for them as well.
There are other issues too like how female-coded the Democrats are, and when you add it all together, the Democrats are incapable of changing. I'm not saying they are purposely losing or are too stupid to change. What I'm saying is as constructed, they are literally incapable of changing enough to do what they need to win. How could they ditch DEI and stop turning off men when they absolutely need blacks and feminists to maintain their coalition? They keep saying they need a left wing Joe Rogan and stuff like that, but how could they possibly have one? This hypothetical person would be too cucked and people would see right through it because he would have to support things men generally hate.
I say all this to say that the people who run the Democrat Party are smart enough know this, and they'd rather keep their power, money, and influence than actually change. They'll pretend they are looking into changing the party, but deep down they know that it's impossible, so they will just keep going back and playing the hits: racism, sexism, etc. And since there are only two parties in America, they will win enough to keep the grift going.
The Man Enough ad (YouTube link) really drove home how unbelievably out of touch the Kamala campaign was with working class men. Somehow managed to directly insult and talk down to the demographic they were doing the worst with and actively trying to target.
They polled terribly with white men. They really needed not to do this! They couldn't help it.
I was a full on "lesser evil for Kamala" voter but this, this ad nearly made me just leave the ballot blank.
Between "Not authorized by any candidate or candidate's committee" at the end and "Trump should forget about running his own ads and use his campaign money to run this ad instead." in the comments, I'm wondering about false-flag advertisements.
Is there a solid reason to avoid them? Has anyone ever been caught? By what enforcement mechanisms? It feels like they would be much more effective than traditional attack ads, so someone must have tried it.

The whole "we need a left wing Joe Rogan" is especially rich when you recall that Rogan was a big Sanders supporter back in 2016 and the term "Bernie bro" was originally coined as a term of derision aimed at him and his listeners.
