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 was a recent suicide in India by a fairly competent ML engineer due to divorce rape. He uploaded his note and a 90-minute video on rumble for everyone to see where he detailed how the Indian legal system ensured he dies. The note is in English, the video in Hindi. Twitter has some tweets that give you some details in case you want a quick summary, this, this, this and it even got mainstream coverage. You can read more about the MRA fold run in india by following this lady.
Marriage here are extra fucked. If the wife commits suicide in the first 7 years, the groom and his family get charged. Similarly, the bride can always file the dowry act and get the groom and his family jailed. Since this is India, most of these cases are just women fucking over the guy since this is a low-trust society, this is despicable given these cases make actual events of barbarism harder to punish due to long backlogs.
In this case, the judge wanted the guy to pay a few hundred thousand dollars, not rupees, and asked the victim to pay her 5 hundred thousand inr (6k usd). Cases here are stuck in judicial purgatory, no one trusts or has ever trusted the judiciary and most if not everyone runs under the belief that bribing is the only sane option. Our victim here directly named the judge, his wife and wrote a section dedicated to his young son who wont get to have his dad around.
I am uploading some parts of his harrowing note in English for the benefit of other mottizens. I am unmarried and my mother always warned me of such things even as a child, though I am quite aware of how grim things can be, I found this to be fairly depressing.
This immediately jumped out at me:
Is it common in India to use this kind of terminology?
Also the basis of the murder charge against him was humorous to me:
Is this actually treated as a legally plausible claim in India?
Yes, developing countries often have de jure law codes which are just ridiculously prima facie unfair to men surrounding things like that. Mexico has similar issues with its domestic violence laws.
Usually these laws are written by radical feminist activists from the west.
Incidentally, divorce/family laws of similar vein (i.e. practically written by feminist activists and applied very unfairly by a judiciary motivated to protect women at any cost) caused the most major fracture in Islamist politics in Turkey since Erdogan's rise 20+ years ago, with a promising new party (led by Erdogan's old mentor's son) spawning around it.
I don't think almost anyone in his cabinet personally would agree with these laws or their applications personally, but even after achieving near-dictatorship level control of the country, Erdogan and his Islamists have been seemingly powerless to stop this drift.
Non/anti-Western politics are often really brain-dead and are starved of human capital. They are really bad at actually articulating and planning for a society that escapes the slow but steady drift towards the latest Western fashions.
