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 seems to be partly a facebook thing. The comments on the actual article are more mixed.
But it shouldn't be a surprise, it's not about socialism or redistribution. It's about health insurance and their leadership specifically. Health insurance companies are known chiefly for two things -- hiking premiums and denying claims.
I actually don't think it's even about health insurance. One thing I think is fairly consistent is that in general, people (but especially young, unestablished people) tend to believe that the elites are basically taking advantage of their situation. The disagreement tends to come in as to what the solution would be, rather than that it's happening.
Someone like Luigi is considered to be a hero because he is striking back against the corrupt rule of the elites; both left and right tend to correctly note that a lot of our so-called elites are anything but, but are somehow paid ridiculously well and given huge amounts of public respect despite their complete incompetence.
In Canada, our MPs (members of parliament) are paid approximately $200,000 a year as a baseline salary, with ministers in charge of specific roles (like minister of justice, minister of public safety) getting more, and our prime minister making around $400,000 a year. This is in addition to a really really good pension plan (so good, in fact, that it is extremely credible that our last government only survived as long as it did due to its existence; basically, we had a liberal minority, but our "labour" party voted in lockstep with them even for things like forcing unionized workers back into the office because their leader's pension vested in late December; literally the week after it vested Singh agreed to bring down the government the next time an open vote occurred). Of our MPs, we have a large number that are considered to be worse than incompetent (Bill Blair, this charming lady, our PM's former babysitter). I'm not going to go over all the horrible businesses in Canada - but needless to say, we have a lot of those too. Loblaws is fairly famous for how price-gougey it is.
People want a change from the corrupt and shitty elites who seem to destroy value rather than create, but who are constantly failing upwards.
