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 -
Do you know a good way of doing this that is not "sort by new and then scroll through 500 pages to get that far into the past"?
Edit: I'm not sure why this is being downvoted. I literally would like to know, because if there is such a way my plan is to just straightforwardly do that, and then post the results. The problem with the "sort by new" approach is that, instead of using a limit/offset pattern where I could just put
?sort=new&count=25&page=500in to go to page 500, reddit instead does a pagination pattern where you give them asortoption and anafterparam, and theafterparam takes a comment id (non-sequential, I checked) that you're supposed to pass the id of the last comment on the page, which means to get to page 500 you _literally need to click "next" 500 times.And these mods write a lot. 500 pages was not an exaggeration, to get back that far in time.
There is or was a link to a site that tells you any of your own posts that have been deleted. I searched it and was amazed how many of my extremely benign posts that I had all but forgotten were wiped. I know without a link this isn't particularly helpful (when I am on an actual computer I can check if i still have it somewhere.) It's also only useful for checking your own posts or posts of specific users.
