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 -
Lindsay reminds me a lot of Eric Weinstein, only if Weinstein’s IQ was subtracted by 3 SDs (that’s not an insult, by the by, it’s just that Weinstein is legitimately galaxy-brained and Lindsay is much closer to the median American).
All of that makes it much more of a travesty that Weinstein is basically doing what Lindsay is doing for the ‘dissident right’ to the actual mainstream right; he couldn’t even bring himself to vote for Trump due to the intensely ingrained patterns of liberalism that have been cemented meticulously in his youth, and Linsday continuing down the lines of calling anyone that actually suspects different races of having real contrasting qualities from each other ‘communist’ is just a diminutive version of that, projected against the further right. Not only do these counterarguments not make sense in either case: in the former, Weinstein couldn’t bring himself to vote for Trump due to his personal character, despite his praise for characters like Feynman (going so far as to call him a ‘god’), a strip-club-enjoying woman beater, and in the latter Marxists obviously sees any deflection to race as a dividing issue as a distraction from actual class struggle. I would respect Lindsay if he attempted to actually make even the flimsy libertarian argument that National Socialism (which is not descriptive of the entirety of the dissident right) just replaces class consciousness with race consciousness, even if that’s totally reductionist (terminally it’s still an argument, as opposed to whatever Lindsay is doing in photoshopping Marx pages into arguing for things that are totally antithetical to Marx).
