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.

No, dude.
It boggles me how a former mod, and someone who still interacts with us all the time (both positively and negatively) can continue to get it so badly wrong. I expect other axe-grinding ideologues to pull out these arguments about how dumb and converged and oblivious the mod team is, but you should know better.
You know we don't ban arguments. We don't ban people arguing HBD. We don't ban people arguing against HBD. You are allowed to say HBD is proof that blacks should be all be sent back to Africa, you are allowed to say that HBD is made-up bullshit, you are allowed to say that HBD is obviously true but we should still blah blah blah. And you are allowed to say that HBD is a product of liberal progressive values emanating from the Bay Area, or rationalists papering over their racial and class resentments. (I personally think that's one of your sillier takes, but whatever.)
Why do you get modded? Because it's not enough for you to disagree with people or tell them you think their beliefs are wrong, or even that you don't think they're being honest about their beliefs. You right here were very clearly trying to goad and bait the people you have a problem with (Cimrafa, BurdensomeCount, Hoffmeister, SecureSignals, etc.). You write in an antagonistic way - "You people are actually a bunch of leftists and you're lying about what you think FIGHT ME" - because you want a fight. And it's that last part - wanting a fight - which keeps getting you dinged. Not your weird version of horseshoe theory or your campaign against HBD. I mean, on the scale of people with obnoxious takes they can't shut up about that the mod team doesn't much like, you are nowhere near the "I wish this guy would just fucking go away" zone. And yet you get modded more often than a lot of the people with more extreme shitty hot takes. Why? Because you keep deliberately going after your enemies because you really, really want to get their goat. (Or maybe because you think Zorba will finally see the light and ban all the people you think we should ban? I dunno.)
The post I made above was expressing my annoyance about "I have my theories but none that are likely to be considered "charitable" or "kind" by the mod team." Yes, it's quite possible your "theories" would not be considered charitable or kind by the mod team, because we don't look kindly on screeds trying to critique someone's beliefs by mapping out their perceived personal shortcomings. If you've got something else, talk about the beliefs.
