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 -
This isn't true. Even here I've gotten disagreement on that, and in politics generally republicans resist it because foreign culture, support our people before foreigners, etc. I don't think dems have any direct disagreement with it, but as you say they care much more about letting poor POCs come.
I'd strongly support 'anyone of any color who scores >125 on an IQ test* OR demonstrates gets a visa instantly and citizenship after they stay for X years, anyone who scores >140 gets citizenship and $100k after they stay here for two years, and said test scores are made available to all potential employers'. (And yes, IQ isn't everything, but there's a tradeoff - and >125 I'm pretty certain the benefits outweigh the negatives)
*people would try to game / train for the test but you can deal with that
People here might resist immigration of engineers, but only because they tend to be engineers. The AMA is against immigration of doctors for the same reason.
Your immigration proposal is fine, but doesn't address the meat of the issue: the Blue Tribe has managed to hold skilled immigrants hostage in return for importing more welfare state clients and creating more welfare state sinecures.
