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 -
It's not religion, it's politics.
Bureaucrats are friends of the left and enemies of the right. Which at once decides their loyalties and who wants to lower or increase their numbers and power. There's little else to it.
Religion is probably inescapable too, but what you're looking at here is merely the friend enemy distinction.
If you want to get political ends, such as actually building enough dwellings to lower the price thereof, you need to get enough people who actually hold the levers of that stuff on one coalition against the remainder. This is how anything is decided in human society.
Now lefties are not going to get any of that stuff done because there is a rift in their coalition on this issue, where some people want cheap housing and others want things that make this impossible (and they have more power). So the only way for the coalition to remain and people to save face is for everyone to pretend this is the work of some real or imagined enemy and look to something else they agree on. Therefore, it's all because of wreckers.
Right wingers do this too of course, much easier to pretend the dissolution of morals isn't aided and abetted by capital or that that the army isn't weak because of procurement being rife with embezzlement if we can all agree that it's the fault of degenerates and perverts.
The real dark truth here is admitting that this mechanism is necessary, because without this nonsense you can't actually maintain a coalition to do anything, let alone what has to be done.
