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 -
So far the latest from the space-side of the internet is that Elon Musk made an X post about bringing home Boe-CFT astronauts Butch and Sunny “as soon as possible”. Trump later followed up with a Truthsocial post confirming that he asked Elon to do so.
For context there is no new information here (see here for additional information w/ added opinions), as far as we can tell at this point SpaceX will likely send up a half manned Crew-9 flight in march and they will return home then. To me this is pretty much just an obvious “spin currents to dunk on the Biden Admin” post, that doesn’t really explicitly lie but it definitely distorts or conflates the truth. Now though people are in my spheres of the net are throwing a conniption, and saying that this is blatant lying. Yet I fail to see how this should be the straw that breaks the camels back especially after a rather muted response to Elon’s choice of hand gestures last week. Perhaps EDS really has infected all previous sane minds, or I simply can’t see something obviously different here?
As i said last week, anyone who seriously thinks that Elon was throwing a Nazi Salute needs to get thier noses out of the woke left's stash.
Quite frankly, it seems to be such low hanging fruit, I'm really surprised I never saw anyone saying this about Trump, Bush, Cheney, Romney or any other undesirable before now.
I remember an e-mail forward, titled 'The unbearable likeness[sic] of being", that had pairs of images of Bush fils and Hitler in similar poses; I haven't been able to find it again, so I couldn't tell you if that gesture was included.
(There was also a similar forward, "The Man/Simian Candidate", which paired pictures of Mr Bush with chimpanzees; one website hosting it, upon receiving Strongly-Worded Letters from people offended on Mr Bush's behalf, posted a statement saying "We apologise for making such a comparison, and hope that the following will be considered sufficient restitution.", followed by a thank-you-for-your-donation letter from the Jane Goodall Institute.)
i swear there was even a portmanteau 'chimpler' combining chimp and hitler but I tried to search this in google but couldn't find any references. maybe this was just in my head. the closest i could find was 'chimp bushitler' https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Bushitler
