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 -
It's not about trust, it's about controlling the narrative. In general, I'd say that the Red Tribe (my moderate-right self included) don't care enough about isolated cases of excessive force to reverse course, and we recognize that latching onto popular "official" narratives is more powerful than arguing with a leftist who doesn't share the same definition of words, or the same moral framework.
The structural advantage that the left has right now is that they can consistently paint themselves as the underdog. They understand, and they weaponize, the tactic of physically resisting and antagonizing in every way humanly possible all the way up to, but usually not beyond, the point of clear violence. This makes use of force force by law enforcement look disproportionate and unjust, and any socially contentious issue that involves "marginalized" individuals automatically gives "marginalized" individuals the social license to resist being apprehended. Technically it's illegal, but if they're not violent when they resist and someone videos it, then they have the people and the progressive cause behind them. Use of force is almost always a violation of liberal law, no matter who the perpetrator is. So when it happens, lawyers, redditors, politicians, actors, and others will rush to the defense of any peaceful resister the moment a video hits Twitter. Both sides use this victim tactic, but the right generally uses physical force more than the left, so they're in the wrong according to lib society.
