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 -
There's a lot of background to Zhao Gao (see the Chinese-language equivalent in China, in similar ways to Nobunaga in Japan, Napoleon in Europe, or Benedict Arnold in the United States. Whether because of their coincidental presence at a significant turning point in history or because of their outsized personal impact, there's a lot of connotations to any story including them that are not obvious from the immediate reading.
This is especially complicated in Zhao Gao's case because of the more clearly mixed results of the Qin Dynasty as a whole: the same group that made the Great Wall of China and formalized China as a country (Chin derives from romantization of Qin!) was also a corrupt tyrant, and the very policies that drove the Qin's success also lead to its collapse. Zhao Gao is sometimes upheld as the embodiment of that duality, as a remnant of a past dynasty able to exploiting the strict doctrines of the current one and to drive the first emperor's son to suicide as 'his fathers' (forged) command.
The strict google translation is correct, and useful on its own, but it's often used and useful where the loyalty test isn't simultaneously linked to shittest-giver trying to overthrow a country, or where whatever loyalty test component is far subordinate to the evil machinations.
