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 -
"Abortion bad / gay marriage bad / trans bad" is bog-standard conservative thought, and it will reliably get you banned if you push it too hard, and especially, too successfully.
This has always been the case with social media censorship, and this argument was always wrong. The censorship tactic employed it here is to wipe out the middle. Tiny servers / influencers are irrelevant, big enough ones cause a fuss if you ban them (which you can still occasionally do when the payoff is big enough), but you can ban the middle with impunity, thus breaking the pipeline.
I really don't like Discord, so I only poked my nose there a few times, but I haven't seen anything outside of what you'd see following the Distributists's twitter (they were his servers).
The thing I am defending is that 'bog standard conservatives' mostly don't get banned including when they argue against gay/trans/abortion. This is true on twitter, on discord, etc. The Distributist is not a bog standard conservative, he is much more """""dissident-right""""". I agree the far right gets censored a lot and it's bad!
Again, can you give me a non post-hoc definition of "far right"? You asked me about the kinds of things that were posted, can you show me the "far right" things on his twitter?
There's a clear difference between him and Tucker Carlson, come on. His social circle on twitter is the 'dissident right'
From what I heard Tucker Carlson is "far right" too, so please give me a definition and examples.
I've known about that guy for a long time! Search "nrx" on his twitter. nrx -> far right!
edit: removed thing that bordered on insult
I know what he calls himself, I just don't buy the categorization that's being imposed by the mainstream, because I find it rather incoherent. I think the fact that's it's hard to come up with a definition and give examples, is proof of that.
I am using the term descriptively! I don't want to give a definition and examples because social categories are quite fuzzy anyway and I think we both understand what I'm getting at in terms of 'the far right are censored a whole lot more than steven crowder is'. Steven crowder is censored a bit, yes! But much much much less than someone like the distributist or fuentes or whatever
So are people who call Tucker Carlson a Nazi, doesn't change the fact that they're wrong.
Sure, but if you become "far right" by believing in the social teachings of the Catholic Church, then the term is fundamentally broken.
Steven Crowder is massive, if you pick a fight with him, you're picking a fight his followers, and other similarly sized influencers in the con-sphere. That explains the censorship a lot better than the "farness" of anyone's views.
