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 don’t know about that. Society runs thanks to the people doing and making things, not from the people who passively own. Life without work is a dull and meaningless existence. Identity is formed by what you leave behind. You can’t take that wealth with you into the afterlife. I suspect that’s why limousine liberals adopt some kind of pet social cause that occupies their time and gives their lives a purpose.
I had a similar feeling when I (an American) visited Spain several years ago. The old wealth was encrusted in the architecture. Buildings, hundreds of years old, that draw millions of tourists in popular town centers. The people who maintain them are like caretakers. They didn’t build them. They never met or talked to those who did. They live in the shadow of their own history. Unable to build anything of their own because all the land is developed already. I would rather scratch and claw my way to a meaningful living, having known that I left my mark in the dirt.
This is an important point. There are two (possibly three) very different views of the owning class lifestyle. FatFIRE is selling the idea that you can live like a retired Boomer starting in your late twenties - plentiful toys, no responsibilities, and no constraints. But people who do that end up living a life of permanent luxury travel in low cost of living countries for a reason - it isn't socially acceptable to live with no responsibilities unless you are an actual retired Boomer or an attractive woman ("socialite" or "trophy wife"), so if you actually end up settling down somewhere you find yourself universally hated. It is also a lifestyle which lends itself to family court litigation, which is the fastest destroyer of dynastic wealth short of wars and revolutions.
The other view is that rather than allowing you to remove yourself from community, being independently wealthy either raises your status in your own community (the "gentry" model) or allows you to join a higher-status community of people who are as rich as you (the "aristocracy" model).
