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 -
Caesar was a popular general who'd spent the last decade plundering Western Europe and enslaving Gauls by the thousand. He was the richest man in all of Rome, but that doesn't even do it justice because he was rich beyond modern comprehension. As the general who'd conquered all of what is now France, about 20% of the spoils of the Gallic wars went straight into his pocket. His army was loyal to him above the Republic because he had made them all rich, too. Some of the armies the Republic sent against him defected to his side because they were jealous of how rich Caesar's legions were. He once bribed a legion by promising to give each man his own Gallic slave. When the Senate turned on him he was in the process of serving as the governor of three provinces for a whopping ten-year term, which he was 7-8 years into. To put that in perspective, those three provinces that Caesar was ruling over were: all of modern France, a big chunk of what is now northern Italy, and a big chunk of the Balkans.
Trump doesn't even have an army, let alone an army comparable to the one that answers to the President. He isn't in a position of any political or military power, unlike Caesar who was a proconsul and therefore both a governor and general. He isn't even particularly rich. The comparison just isn't there. What's he going to do, defeat the Joint Chiefs of Staff in a set piece battle? Him and what army?
