This is the Quality Contributions Roundup. It showcases interesting and well-written comments and posts from the period covered. If you want to get an idea of what this community is about or how we want you to participate, look no further (except the rules maybe--those might be important too).
As a reminder, you can nominate Quality Contributions by hitting the report button and selecting the "Actually A Quality Contribution!" option. Additionally, links to all of the roundups can be found in the wiki of /r/theThread which can be found here. For a list of other great community content, see here.
These are mostly chronologically ordered, but I have in some cases tried to cluster comments by topic so if there is something you are looking for (or trying to avoid), this might be helpful.

Notes -
IIRC college debate is structured such that it is possible to achieve reasonable amounts of success making dumb-in-not-progressive-coded-ways arguments(which might be right wing or might be utterly schizophrenic; I’ve heard of teams being reasonably successful by doing this with literal timecube), albeit usually not national championships. High school policy debate is cleanly divided into woke cesspits and a smaller and worse funded conservative Christian version but all of them are rolled into the same pool with different sections at the college level. M
There’s virtually no useful discussion going on in any of it but they do the same thing with everything, not just woke. There’s plenty of Rand, Mao, Gene Ray, uncle Ted, Baudrillard, Nietzsche and Heidegger, Ancient Aliens, uncritical Russian propaganda, etc shitting up the commons there too.
