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 -
They’re wrong because Russia isn’t ‘based and trad’ compared to Western civilization, as countless people including our own Russian regulars like Dase have noted many times. Russia has immense corruption, huge mass immigration from Islamic Central Asia, declining religiosity, bottom tier birthrates (certainly among, uh, Christians) and the same empty, vacuous popular culture as the west.
At least America is rich, Russia isn’t even that.
I was specifically asking about the LGBTQ++ angle. There is nothing wrong in thinking that the US are more pro-LGBTQ than Russia, or is there?
Once Russia is taken out by the usual spring-time CIA peaceful protest, who else seriously stands against the tide of Globohomo-ism? China?
Perhaps not trad but various Russian policies would qualify as 'based' by Internet right-wing standards. Moreover as the Russian progressives are drained out by current events and isolation from the West, Russia is actually becoming more based as time goes. The fact that more and more Russians come online to English-speaking websites to complain about Russia is a testament to this phenomenom.
Isn't corruption better when you're a wealthy dissident? I sure bet some of these Jan 6th political prisoners wished they could bribe themselves out of their current predicament.
Yes and causing nowhere near the issues London, Paris, Berlin or even some US cities have to deal with iirc. Russia is an example of globalism done right, if anything. Many on the right have been able to unironically cheer for the Taliban, so that's not necessarily an issue either.
Somewhat contradicting with mass islamic immigration? Or do you mean a decline in religiosity from its absolute height of attendance under state atheist USSR? If the government is at least pro-traditional religion then there is hope, unlike in the West.
Soviet-tier Christians. Real Christians will not go extinct but their day-to-day family lives are greatly improved when removed from a strictly anti-Christian society.
Wealth is a sin in itself, so not surprising that the apparent sum total of the Western people's morality in itself is greatly lower than that of the more humble Central Asian people.

And as a bonus, modern Russian patriotism continues to have uncomfortable levels of attachment (just one example) to the old Bolshevik rule, which the based and trad conservative Western Russia simps choose to ignore time after time.
That's a state effort, not example of grass-roots patriotism. With which Kremlin is rather uncomfortable and has been suppressing as of late with arrests, official harrasment etc.
You should have rather posted the various guys flying Tzar / Bolshevik era flags side by side. (yes, really).
