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 -
Sorry, which republican elected officials are groypers again? Which of their policies are dominating Republican discussions? It's the party of Trump, business interests, and cultural conservatives. Groypers remain years away from mattering and a Carlson interview does not even begin to change that. Joe Rogan has what, 40 times Nick's viewership? Sixty? Nick struggles to break half a million, Joe regularly puts up 20 times that, and has done 100+ times that. The only times I ever even see Fuentes mentioned in political conversations are on this forum, even my conservative conspiracy nut friends barely remember who the dude is.
How much of his viewership is voting-aged American citizens?

True, but I don't think that's a fair comparison. Joe Rogan is 58 years and has been doing podcast for over 15 years now, and he was already a big celebrity before that. He was one of the OG podcast bros, and at this point basically everyone has heard of him. He's not growing particularly fast anymore. He might have hit the limits of what he can get. Most of his opinions are very bland, centrist stuff, and he's mostly known for just bringing on a wide range of guests and letting them talk about whatever they want.
Meanwhile, Nick fuentes is 27. He went from some random college student, to being completely deplatformed, and until recently most normal people had never heard of him. He was not only deplatformed from any liberal organization, but even most of the conservative organizations tried to kick him out. He's completely banned from youtube and most other mainstream sites. His podcast is on rumble.com, which is a site I'd never heard of until I went to look it up just now. So I think, despite his overall small numbers, it's a sign that are some very passionate supporters out there boosting him and overcoming all mainstream efforts to shut him down.
