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 -
Atheism/Agnosticism is a priori Wokeism. Just as belief in God is a priori Christianity or Islam. Ergo, there is no Wokeism without the coordinated popularity of the New Atheist movement just as the New Atheist movement itself wouldn't have been possible without popular culture's increased secularization (going back to the mid-60s) and the collective shift in epistemological standards resulting after the invention of the internet (and the events of 9/11).
Wokeism has the exact size and shape of any religious movement. How Christianity subsumed Paganism is how Wokeism is subsuming Christianity. If the Woke are fire-and-brimstone Bible thumpers then the New Good Person is the reasonable type who yes, goes to church on Easter, and yes, believes Christ died on the cross for her sins but really can't be bothered to convert anyone and truly finds Evangelicals to be mostly aggressive and distasteful, despite their fundamental agreements about Black Lives Mattering, (Gay) Love Being (Hetero) Love, and the Future Being Female.
New Atheism's function was to remove the metaphysical ground from underneath the critical mass, that it would invariably lead to the creation of new ground -- as a rule, something as filled with holes as the old ground -- was guaranteed, as these are meant to be useful paths for a governing body to traverse its people towards its desired ends, nothing more. Science would then stand in for God and anything that can't be made to be traced thusly would be called a heresy (i.e. unscientific).
