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.

As Ross Douthat(?) said 10 years ago, "if you don't like the Christian right, you're really not going to like the post-Christian right." Whoops!
anon, pls
Nazis aren't real in 2025. You need to more precisely define what you mean. A guy waving a Soviet flag in 2025 isn't a Bolshevik, he's a progressive.
What is "Nazi radicalism" in the 2025 American context? In any case, no, I think normies are experiencing a hangover from woke and are desensitized to this pearl-clutching nonsense.
All the defections have already happened. Nobody on the right cares about "fighting off Nazi accusations from the left." Why should we fight any accusation from the left? Why not just lean into it while mocking the left and winking to the audience? That seems to be working.
I think your perspective on TheMotte could actually be extremely valuable, if only you would directly state your opinions and drop all of the accusations and attempts at reader manipulation. You've already been called out on the "have you stopped beating your wife?" style questions, so why not try to write another post about these events seeking to understand people who might have had a different reaction from yours?
This was pretty specific. People who say themselves that they are Nazis or openly praise Hitler like Myron Gaines, or those who engage in blatant and strong Nazi apologetics such as Holocaust denialism like Fuentes or Carlson.
There are! I even linked some prominent conservatives who are opposed to it. Your "defense" apparently being "actually no one on the right cares about neonazism and hitlerism" seems like a very negative view of right wingers and conservatives. There's plenty of anti Nazi conservatives like Dinesh D'Souza and Seth Dillon. And I showed Ben Shapiro's argument of how apologizing and defending and empowering radicals hurt the left and why he doesn't think it's good to do on the right now. I'm sorry if you have such a negative view of modern conservativism that you can't imagine them without the rising Nazism, but there are tons of perfectly fine ordinary non antisemitic right wingers around.
