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 -
Re #1: Is it that hard to just stand still and get arrested? "Chasing" implies "fleeing", and fleeing to a daycare is even worse than normal.
Re #2 (link, since it isn't included): "federal agents have been the catalyst for chaos and clashes." Odd way to not blame them, but I'll take it. “To safely clear the area after multiple warnings and the crowd continuing to advance on them, Border Patrol had to deploy crowd control measures.” “Our officers are facing a 1000% increase in assaults against them" " inadvertently been exposed" Odd to include those lines with no pushback if they're inaccurate. Also note that this is a couple weeks after the temporary restraining order that restricts tear gas when not under imminent threat, and the article didn't even hint that they could be defying that order. The media very rarely lies, but NBC sure is pushing it.
Re #3: What's the alleged misconduct? Driving the child away seems like one reasonable course of action to me, and the rest is nothingburgers. The crowd's conduct wasn't great, but that's not the father's fault.
There's no need to wait for the DHS official rebuttal before dismissing those stories. I suspect the rest are similar.
Here is a video from that #2 incident. It happens after most of the action; I don't see ICE doing anything except finishing arresting people and moving some cars around. Some tear gas canisters are still active. But tell me... based on that video (and audio), would you believe that there had just prior been sufficient unrest to justify the use of tear gas?
I watched it initially with the audio off, and I was like "What am I supposed to be seeing? Aside from the sheer number of cops and the leftover tear gas, it looks like a pretty normal arrest?". With the audio on, it's a different story.
