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 -
Convenient. "Dany just kinda forgot about the Iron Fleet..."
Corruption was actually a big faux pas among British gentlemen back in those days, and it would have been politically useful for Chamberlain (not averse to undermining his enemies) to expose it by Churchill et al.
Academics HAVE engaged with revisionist arguments. The problem is that, while (Nazi-sympathising) revisionists can often do a good job in trouncing amateurs due to knowing more of the basic facts ("You didn't know that the Sudetenland was German speaking? Let me tell you what else they kept from you...") they don't actually have arguments that stand up under academic scrutiny.
There are sensible forms of WWII revisionism, e.g. the representation of pre-1939 Allied foreign policy has become mythologised by Churchill worshippers and perma-hawks. It was a failure of appeasement and deterrence, but the inefficacy of the latter in containing self-destructive dictators was perhaps too frightening to contemplate during the Cold War.
World War II is extremely overstudied at this point, its lessons are overinterpreted, and in many countries it is taught far too much in schools, at the expense of events that are either more relevant to understanding the modern world (e.g. Russian, Chinese, and internal American history) or more integral to specific nations' current conditions and identities (the Reformation, the Crusades, the Industrial Revolution etc.). Obviously WWII helped form the modern world, but the Cold War did so more recently. And, at this point, I think we've finally got past the horror of progressives at the mere thought of teaching children about the evils of International Communism, lest it create McCarthyism, war frenzy, and the destruction of all life on Earth.
