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 -
The problem for right-wing art is that as far as I can tell it has no well realized vision of the future that it wants.
Left-wing art has stuff like Star Trek, at least, which in its earlier incarnations makes SJWs a bit uncomfortable because of the hiring hot actresses to wear short skirts and so on but overall still articulates a pretty attractive vision of a post-scarcity future where humans have overcome their differences and enjoy exploring the universe in their pajamas while having minor conflicts with each other that all get resolved in the same episode or maybe one episode later by everyone learning a moral lesson.
What does the right-wing have?
There is Tolkien, but from what I can tell most of his current fans are more into the movie style happy ending than into his actual relatively complex ideas of the long defeat and the inevitable failure of mortals, ideas that might be relatively unappealing as a worldview to the mover and shaker type of personality who shapes political narratives. And the fact that his stuff is set in the past of our world makes it relatively hard to build a future vision from it. And anyway, even the original texts have a clear "diverse group learns how to work together and wins against the bad guys" narrative that is antithetical to many modern right-wingers' desires.
There is also stuff like John Milius and his Apocalypse Now and Conan the Barbarian, but he himself does not self-describe as a right-winger.
And anyway, it would be hard to make Apocalypse Now into a right-wing movie in the modern sense given that it depicts how a war against communists degenerated into insanity and corruption.
As for Conan the Barbarian, the truth is that its beaten-down-guy-beats-his-oppressors narrative, with all its love of muscular masculinity, has nothing particularly right-wing about it unless you think that just getting big muscles and unashamedly being proud of it and fighting your oppressors is somehow right-wing. But to me that seems like a very niche online take. If right-wingers get roped into celebrating muscular masculinity just because a relatively small group of leftists on Twitter get triggered by muscular masculinity, I do not see that as a big win for the right or a sign that they have created their own successful art.
I must object to your reading of Milius' works.
Conan is very much a vitalist positive vision of Nietzschean self actualization, certainly one of the main intellectual factions of the right wing. And Apocalypse Now, despite its setting is explicitly not an anti-war movie but rather an exploration of how we deal with war. If anything the story revolves around how it's a doomed quagmire precisely because of ambiguous restraint, and Kurtz though he is insane, is one man who is taking it seriously.
You could very easily find a reading of both of these that motivates a futurist warlord future where the true an natural will to power is no longer restricted by artificial bureaucracies and free to express itself while still appealing to morality and heroism of the meta-modern knight.
In fact this is where the solution to the problem of the right wing lies in my opinion: a synthesis of Nietzsche and Christ has to happen. Only that can unite its disparate factions into something that can reclaim both the mantle of righteousness and the crown of power.

I don't accept your premise, but why is this a problem, exactly?
It isn't true that there is no well vision of right wingers and not leftist artists want and created.
It is true that I am calling for something broader and less totalitarian. If you pick a specific smaller rightist sphere you are going to get a more specific ideological perspective.
Well, I don't want that but I am fine with (most) of those ideological perspectives also being made.
If that was left wing, where did it come from and in what society it existed that told what kind of stories? I.E. It had first interracial kiss in television too. Supposedly no right wing stories existed with non progressive themes which kind of contradicts the attitute to label as racist, patriarchical, etc, etc other fiction of the time and before including films like Gone with the Wind.
This idea you are promoting that right wing stories haven't existed is completely irrational nonsense that demonstrates your close mindedness and your totalitarian mentality. Your nitpicking about lord of the rings is especially egregious.
What I find interesting here is the contradictory multiple different gotcha narratives that are all leading in unproductive direction and have an element of prejudiced resentment to them and their unpleasantness.
Lets see:
Its all hopeless so don't even try.
Right wing patronage, it will be going too far and strays from libertarian ethos
What is art anyway
Right wing art doesn't exist and can't have a telos.
This special pleading helps to allow the left to dominate.
A couple of years ago we would also be getting the don't rock the boat, it is just a few kids at college narrative and things are sufficiently balanced.
Now, if the right wing is insufficiently right wing for your standards as a leftist or far leftist, why is that a relevant problem, to you? Genuinely so. Or a problem in general. Because it seems you are throwing shit at the wall to be a naysayer. Lets say what I promote ends up getting also fiction that isn't inherently right wing but also isn't leftist made. Is that a problem, or not? Why? Just so you can be a naysayer now against right wing art being made?
If I get more historical fiction that defies left wing prejudices and is not negative on europeans or other groups targeted by left wing prejudice, doesn't race bend, and promotes good themes including exploring the heart at war with itself, the necessity of heroism, the value of community, etc, etc, I will consider this a win.
Lets just say that there is a fundamental difference even between more left wing industries in the past, and how things have devolved. And there are fundamnetal conservative themes in fiction and art OBVIOUSLY. If you are so inclined to explore them you are welcome to read right wingers defining their ideology. Especially of non neocon variety. Even some of the anon far righter blogers would give you an insight.
The totalitarian vision of where all that is coherent and good can be found in the left is facile on its face and shows a profound lack of appreciation of much of human history and the art that has been produced. it what leads to the "burn the past" mentality, because it doesn't fit into the totalitarian constrain of the good and coherent. The need to change fiction to the left, and change historical material wouldn't be happening if there wasn't an alternative to the left.

The latter makes them far more uncomfortable than the former. They're progressives, they cannot have a particular goal that they'll be satisfied reaching, or they'll become conservatives. There's a reason why they reintroduced racism and economic inequality in the new iterations of Star Trek, and a reason why a lot of TNG fans aren't SJWs.
I think it can be misleading to conflate the Eternal Struggleists with the leftists, even if at the moment they are a very nearly perfect subset. My understanding is that other times and places have had plenty of space for people who were existentially offended at the idea of an attainable/attained success criterion while having ideas that our modern classification would unambiguously label "right of center". Any setting with religious crusaders comes to mind (in "Environmentalists are the new Christians" arguments, I always like raising the thought experiment of presenting Catholics with a worldly plan to discharge Original Sin once and for all).

Well I don't often say this and I don't often agree with you, but you have a point! I never saw it like that before.
