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 -
But...they do directly say this. Reparations are a forever thing, and the class they want those reparations to go to commits the vast majority of the crime, therefore they're willing to allow them to commit crimes.
And then, of course, in 2020 they went out and committed, aided, and abetted a massive amount of crime in support of that goal. So while they might claim it's "only temporary" I have no reason to believe that their permanent solution is going to be any different (of course, that depends on your definition of crime; if they re-define a [n action that is a crime, from the classic liberal viewpoint] so it's only a crime when race X does it, which they explicitly state they believe, and then the trendline goes down... has crime objectively decreased?).
Well, yeah- if the Federal government's not fully on my side and I'm worried about getting attacked by backwards gun owners I'd be afraid too, especially if I use and approve of the use of political violence to get my way. Besides, it would be even worse if they had control of the Federal government, because they could take the bureaucracy (that always imposes the rule changes my enemy wants as quickly as it does for the rules I like) and maybe even resist it once I take the government back.
I'd be fine with this, especially because we have an oversupply of people who a.) want to do social work and b.) are all on hair-triggers for any kind of abuse, so I'm not as worried about Nurse Ratched or "lobotomy is a solution to literally every problem" as I would be in the '50s. We might have to revisit it in 60 years if b.) stops being true, but it'll solve the problem for a couple of generations at least.
(Of course, there's always the possibility that, just like in the Soviet Union, China, Australia, the EU, and the UK, you get dissidents being gulag'd for hate speech- it always seems to get used on the liberals eventually and there are more of those on the [current] right than the left- so I don't trust the Right has enough trust in government to build a system that the Left would then be looking for any excuse to turn on the Right, as the Left thinks opposition to their policies is a mental defect anyway. So does the Right, of course.)
Outside of the last 20 years gun rights advocates have accepted every compromise and received nothing in return so yeah, I'd be nonchalant about pressing the "Defect" button too. We have no trust that what we do now won't be abused in the future (for instance, the Swiss do background checks in a secure and private way- but they also have social consensus that guns are fine so they can get legislative and executive co-operation, whereas New World countries obviously lack that, which leads to inches given becoming miles taken in a direction that coincidentally never favors the pro-freedom side).
