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 -
The red tribe solution to ‘I need a vehicle to shop’ is ‘well get you a vehicle’. The blue tribe solution is ‘we need to rearrange the city so you don’t need one’.
This says something about the psychology of the two tribes.
Which one shows greater will to power ?
No one's going to dedicate their life mission to getting cars for other people.
Driving instructors. Mechanics. People who manufacture cars? Heck, in a tangential way, my job ultimately involves getting cars into the hands of people to drive them. And among all those people, surely some are genuinely dedicated to what they do.
They're mostly bad at it (especially driving instructors, they can afford to be bad) and only doing it because they're incentivised through the profit motive.
People who want to rearrange the entire economic system because X are almost invariably desire doing away with the idea of profit and subordinating the economy under some system of command and control.
Under such a system, even those who'd truly desire to give people the means of personal transportation would be unable to do so unless the government consented. Y

The blue but then the blue tribe have also always been the most corrupted by power. I don't think that's a coincidence.
Yes, the blues.
If it wasn't for AI or war, I'd be fairly certain blue tribe would collapse this century due to running out of susceptible human resources to psyop, however, with AIs all bets are off except the ones that says no one will bother to write SF because you could get the same fix just reading obscure internet forums. Things will get impossibly weird.
