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 -
Yeah, I would assume that's the case even before looking into the data just because of the obvious issues that
Violence itself is incredibly rare, only about 2-4% have a violent conviction.
A good portion of those aren't even directly violent against people. Armed robberies, kidnappings (which are mostly the kids own parent driving off with them), arson.
A good portion of the ones left over aren't extreme like we're imagining, they're assault like slaps and punches and kicks. Domestic violence, drunks getting in a fist fight, sexual assault. Shouldn't be allowed but it's not death.
Even the homicides themselves still contain plenty of manslaughter or heat of passion cases.
And even of those premeditated homicides, they're also almost entirely personal grievances. Spouses, rival gangs, employers, religion conflicts, etc.
And even then, it's largely repeat offenders who do violence on multiple occasions.
Explicitly political violence is so rare that whether right or left wing attacks are more common, it's like arguing which cup of water is more full compared to all the water in the ocean (the general population).
It most likely will, even in less stable countries political violence is very uncommon. When it does happen in a meaningful manner, it's almost entirely an extreme case like Nepal. Mass poverty, wide unemployment of youth (over 20%), extremely blatant corruption, and a government that egged it on by shutting down social media across the country.
