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 -
Be careful with this kind of thinking, I see a wider swathe of the working class than you do (because everybody shows up in the hospital eventually). You do see some doctor skepticism and such but most people are quite happy to follow most types of recommendations unless something basic gets in the way (we tell everyone to exercise, not everybody listens).
A small fraction are upset and anti-doctor in a vocal way, but most people shut up in the room for a variety of reasons (including things like not listening to the doctor suddenly becomes very costly if you are having a significant medical event).
The people who actually cause us problems are the woke more often. I acknowledge that this is likely due to my location but keep in mind that a lot of bitching is just bitching and is essentially a luxury belief that fades on actual contact with illness.
The best explanation for the gap between things like online sentiment and what I actually see in clinical practice is probably just people talking a big game, but the issue of a loud minority or hyper geographic concentration are other possible explanations.
Good news and bad news here. Basically the people who are well and truly sick don't have a choice. Their friends, family, or the police drag them into interaction with healthcare if they really actually for real sick.
