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 -
With the exception of support directly resulting from a larger Muslim population (ie not the result of ‘ideological conversion’ so much as ‘ideological import’), has Western support for Palestine really risen since 2014 or even 2004? I don’t know that it has, it’s essentially been a progressive cause célèbre since the ideological realignment in the 1970s (when much of the radical left switched from Zionist to Palestinian liberationist ideas).
Nothing the student types have chanted at US colleges in the last couple of weeks has been different to what they were chanting when I was at college in the early 2010s.
The ‘Corbynite’ sympathy for Hamas stuff was always less pronounced in the US than Europe, because the former had a smaller Muslim population and a much larger Jewish one, but in either case it’s been a thing for more than 40 years now. Younger people poll as more hostile to Israel than older people, because younger people are almost uniformly more progressive than older people, certainly in the Anglo countries. In France, the radical right is as skeptical about Zionism as the radical left, but again the French hard right is strongly tied to a specific kind of at-least-mildly antisemitic Vichyite right, and to counterrevolutionary ultra-Catholicism of the SSPX school which often blames variably Masons, Jews, Protestants and so on for the decline of France (since 1789).
Not according to this.
The question here is different. On the 2nd on it's Hamas, not Palestinians.
That's true, but it still doesn't show basically any sort of support for Hamas in the US.
