Culture War Roundup for the week of October 24, 2022

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.

, what's the point?"

Concern for your fellow man? Maybe family and friends would be less critical if you looked just a little further than the end of your own nose. Hardly a terrible imposition being asked of you.

Putting untested technology in your body completely unnecessarily (SK already had COVID) most certainly is a terrible imposition. And that was the state back then, now we know it wouldn't have changed anything anyway.

Did you miss the part where I'd already had covid by the time the vaccines became available?

Apart from that, you might consume other news than me, but I keep hearing that vaccines do little to stop the spread of the disease and are in fact mostly if not entirely meant to reduce the effect of the disease on the one vaccinated. I.e., entirely a matter of one's own nose. I suppose you have heard differently. Have you also heard that natural immunity does not work?

Did you miss the part where I'd already had covid by the time the vaccines became available?

Having covid + getting even one PFizer shot seemed for over a year to be the optimal level of safety against hospitalization and death in regards to covid. I don't really understand why this community cannot separate abject facts like the above one with clown statements made my the media and Fauci himself. It's really irrational.

I had covid. I had one Pfizer shot a year later and another like 9 months later (ish - I'm not great on memory). It's fine that you don't and it sucks that you had wacky family relations - but why lie about things in the nature of ' why bother ' when it's very obvious why bother. The ' had covid + one shot ' was practically a meme around here for months.

Not sure if I read you correctly, but at the time (late 2020) it was by no means common knowledge that covid + shot made a difference relative to only covid. In fact it still isn't that common; I still don't know it. And it's moot - I never encountered statistical arguments IRL.
