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 -
I don’t think this ends Trump. The thing you’d need to end Trump is a group of people with both the power and the will to stop him. But I don’t actually see this out there. Even though democrats believe Alligator Alcatraz is a concentration camp feeding people worms, there’s not so much as an investigation on the matter, let alone impeachment proceedings. They say he’s a dictator, and write letters that may as well read “Dear Leader Trump: what you are doing is bad, mean, and we don’t like it. Please stop immediately or we’re sending another letter.” If there’s no action on things that people believe are sending us down the path of imitating mustache man, why would a document that nobody has and a lawsuit make any difference at all?
That’s not how power works. Until those with the power to do something start coordinating to use that power to disempower the other guy, it doesn’t matter. Public opinion doesn’t matter here, nor does the appearance of abuse of authority. Epstein might hurt Trump’s reputation, but it hasn’t changed anything. He’s still the president, and I think a good chunk of the base is more interested in his ability to fix things for them than a letter.
What kinds of people have the power to end Trump? His staff?
