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 -
I'm 99% convinced that the U.S. military or CIA has at least one fancy stealth aircraft that isn't public knowledge, because of course they do, it would be stupid if they didn't. And probably it has some components which are designed differently from typical aircraft, because it's advanced and experimental, and thus looks strange to people used to seeing typical aircraft. And I bet if you see it flying around, or especially if they deliberately put fancy lights on it, it would look strange and alien to someone who's not an expert.
Or rather, how could you even tell the difference in principal? If we assume the military's secret projects are at least 5-10 years ahead of public knowledge, then even things which aren't commonly known to be possible are still plausibly human. And then you take a fifty year old senator whose perceptions of even modern common knowledge are probably a few decades out of date. Have you seen China's drone shows? https://youtube.com/watch?v=VvemT96Rozc . They're fancy! In order for something to be demonstrably "non-human" it would have to be remarkably strange above and beyond this. Because humans are already capable of some pretty impressive stuff.
An actual expert with long-term firsthand experience dismantling an alien aircraft could reliably determine that it's non-human. But otherwise, you would need straight up teleportation or something to identify something as non-human from a distance: even hovering, laser beams, and sonic rays aren't out of the question for humans with billions of dollars and a slight scientific head start.
