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 -
A) If AfD wasn't facing bans and there weren't firewalls against anti-immigrant parties across most of the continent you could make this point without looking like a left-wing journalist.
B) it's highly disingenuous of you to fail to acknowledge the historic break in attitude to wholesale imports of aliens represented by the Trump administration. Prior to Trump, USG was a huge promoter of moving the 3rd world into the first.
a) Firewalls so hard that one of the most actual effective anti-immigrant parties is leftists? Also if you actually familiarized yourself with actual policy as of latest for whole of EU, illegal immigration in and refugee entries in particular has decreased significantly due to measures taken by current EU governments. Getting in legally isn't too easy of a feat either. b) What is this historic break represented by the administration? Crackdown on illegal immigration and putting a pause on some 4th world countries? Won't move a real needle on legal immigration.
Denmark is pretty much unique in Europe. It's the single place where social democrats didn't outright sell out their previous base. Germany has a firewall. France has a firewall too. If those two countries came to their senses, it'd be possible to start doing something about the millions of people who were told to leave but didn't leave.
You sure about that? 5 years back even debating whether H1B is desirable was totally beyond the Overton window. Now it's up for debate. You need to pray that US doesn't get wise, because if it reformed its immigration to be pre-1965 pattern, it could do to Europe what EU did to Bulgaria - drain most of the productive people away,
Look at that chart. https://ec.europa.eu/eurostat/statistics-explained/index.php?title=Asylum_applications_-_annual_statistics
Oh yeah, brutal efficiency. They got it back to half a million per year, wonderful. It was at 130k in 2008. They fucked it up and did the bare minimum - stopped fucking it up progressively more because they're all getting scared 'populists' will slaughter them in elections. Wake me up when per capita, EU is deporting as many undesirables as USA. Then I'll admit Trump admin admonishing its vassals about this is baseless.
Have you awoken from a coma perhaps? 5 years back, USG was all over George Floyd. Today, USG is officially angry at the government of South Africa for its wilful refusal to even pretend to care about the farm murders. Which, sure, aren't wholly ANC's fault but they deliberately made the situation worse.
Insane Civil Rights Act related judicial decisions are getting cancelled by supreme court. DoJ is suing businesses for discriminating against native Americans (by that I mean the sort of people who founded the US, not the tribesmen it conquered and grudgingly made citizens decades later). Overall, very positive and notable changes. Wake me up when EU stops kissing the ass of the 3rd world and starts deporting illegals the way it was done in 19th century - arrested, marched to the border under police guard and ejected.
