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 -
Or alternatively, how many of them really believe their talking points are so obvious to reasonable people that they just can't be disagreed with if explicitly stated. HVAC techs will do the same thing in the opposite direction.
How is that an alternative?
Please, shower me with stories of people getting fired from their dream HVAC technician job for being insufficiently chud. Note: quitting because you don't like the chuds or they don't like you, doesn't count.
HVAC techs do not get fired for things like political statements, use of racial slurs, or workplace sexual harassment.

The organizational structure of a pro-chud HVAC contractor is different enough from corpo HR nonsense that the enforcement of social norms is way different.
What i mean, if you are working in a labor intensive trade and the team you are working with really doesn't like you, they will try to convince the boss that you suck at the job (if you are new on the team this will be easy). If that doesn't work the most roided guys will threaten to beat your ass while the rats plot against you.
The chuds can make quitting because you don't like eachother a very appealing option on their home turf, in the event that they decide someone really doesn't fit in.
I've heard of this type of thing happening a few times, and surprisingly none of the aspiring electricians and house framers had much of a twitter presence to complain about it to.
HVAC techs generally work alone, being woke on an install crew will probably result in not making it into a career- and that is exactly how it happens.

If the dude that got knocked for cracking his knuckles while driving a van somehow managed to become known, discriminated upon HVAC technicians should manage to bubble up as well. "It's totally happening in a completely symmetrical way, it's just that one side's cancellations are somehow cmpletely invisible" is not very compelling.
I can actually confirm this is the case, and I hope I've established my "not an establishment liberal running-dog" bona fides on this forum. My roommate had an HVAC job and the other guys talked his boss into firing him in less than a month because he awkwardly dodged or didn't join in the raunchy chud humor. I get it, I'd have a siege mentality too, these days.

There's no twitter mob to go after random HVAC techs and electricians for being liberal. Outside of the union or commercial refrigeration specialist HVAC techs get labeled 'not team players' for being open democrats(and even in those two it's still probably Trump+80). This is a 97% male field where most people work independently- we don't do the teenaged girl cancellation thing- open democrats/liberals get badmouthed, are more likely to have random drug tests, get worse performance reviews from all the complaining about them, but there's no ganging up to get them fired.
What counts as "open democrat / liberal"? Having a "vote for Biden" baseball cap? Or is it simply enough to mention that you voted for a democrat in the state elections?

Of course it isn't symmetrical, why would it be. Imagining that rednecks don't have their own ways to socially police rhetoric they disapprove of is just as foolish as attempting to be the squeaky wheel in any other workplace where there is a clear politically correct position to have.
And fwiw, if a guy takes naps in his truck he should and will get fired. I'm thinking more along the lines of "yeah that new guys a flaming faggot, i dont want that mf around me all day". I've had jobs where that could be a pretty persuasive argument to the crew in general. I kindof imagine being strongly conservative as a college professor is similar. The old guard can smell that you are different, they don't like it, they concoct some bullshit offense for you to have unknowingly committed.
