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 -
Israel is a racial supremacist national socialist theocratic state, but they are still better than the palestinians. It's not an issue I particularly care about in either direction, but I don't understand people who aren't willing to choose the lesser of two evils. Any reasonable country in Israel's position would react similarly. If a neighboring country sent terrorists into my country, indiscriminately killed 1000 innocent people and took hostages, I would want them flattened. Israel has held back to an impressive degree. I think the fact that these attacks have been a net positive for Palestine's image is very scary. I don't want to see their behavior rewarded.
If Israel were an independent country I'd sort of agree. They're both crap and I don't care if they all kill each other. Israel is the US elite's sugar baby though. So the more often they sabre rattle the more often daddy USA has to spend a few billion of our tax dollars to divert a carrier group to the region to take care of Bibimbo Netanyahoo and save their trade routes or what not.
Israel would not be interested in nuking America and Western Europe even if it had the power to do so with impunity. Hamas absolutely would. That's reason enough to support one over the other even if you take a very negative view of the Israel/US relationship. Better the obnoxious moocher than the psychotic murderer who hates your guts. Like, obviously. It's not even a question.
I would be more inclined to accept Israel as the North Korea of the west if the west wasn't ruled by ethnic Israeli's.
The west is not ruled by ethnic Israelis(unless you’re talking about the Palestinians who rule Latin America)- in the United States, left wing admins are split between ethnic Israelis and black women, and right wing administrations are dominated by conservative Catholics. In other locales it’s usually the locals that rule.
Catholics? Really? Not protestants/evangelicals?
The only protestant currently on the supreme Court is Jackson, for example. And there were none at all for some years before her.
Gorsuch is also a Protestant, although neither are evangelical.
Oh interesting, wikipedia listed him as "Anglicanism/Catholicism," which I just rounded off to popery of the "I just go for the incense, honest!" type
