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 -
Massachusetts Institute of Technology Professor and Nuclear Physicist, Nuno Loureiro, was shot to death last night in his own home. Loureiro was reportedly Jewish and somewhat vocally pro-Israel. No suspect is in custody. I cannot help but think that this might be related to the shooting at Brown University last week. My knowledge of the geography of the northeast United States is limited, but I believe the two locations are at most a couple of hours apart. The shooting at Brown seems to have targeted the class of a professor of Israel-US relations.
I think we are are now approaching five left wing domestic terrorist attacks in as many months. When I suggested we were on the verge of slipping into another Days of Rage after the Israeli embassy attack, everyone here pooh-poohed the idea. But my concerns have only deepened since.
The guy could have walked from Brown to MIT in the time between the two shootings.
I feel I was a bit flippant in my post on the subject in last week's thread. I didn't consider the possibility that the shooter could still be at large well into the week. We are seeing a new meta emerging in real time. If one has a getaway plan, it's possible to run from the law for several days, perhaps even stringing together multiple attacks in the process.
I wouldn't get too cocky about this being a "new meta" that's available to everyone. The right thought the new meta was to just occupy spaces, violently if need be to get their way because that seemed to work all summer long in 2020. But it turned out that was only allowed because it's what the powers that be wanted all along, and when they tried it the government pulled out every stop to throw them in solitary confinement with a side of struggle cuddles.
Yeah, it sure seems like "people", really Democrats, in Democrat controlled areas, can just murder "people", really conservatives, and just walk away no problem. But I promise you, it is not a generalized strategy. It only seems to work this way because Democrats allow it. And the moment, like January 6, the right attempts to use a strategy of the left, the full force of the police state we all thought was atrophied and neglectful will come down on them like something out of a movie. And suddenly all the people who claimed I wasn't being charitable enough, that Democrats aren't purposely allowing this, will turn on a dime and claim "Duh, what are you stupid?", just like they did after Jan 6th.
It's kinda funny in Australia how many people are currently querying how a South African who attended a Far-Right Rally was deported essentially instantaneously - https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11-18/nsw-sydney-neo-nazi-protest-matthew-gruter-immigration-visa/106022886 - whilst even before the actual Bondi shooting people have been flagging people carrying ISIS flags and preaching very radical violence-orientated Islam in certain regions of Australia. Yet the police apparatus has been completely powerless.
Even one of the shooters was apparently on a terror watch list and still able to reside in the same property as 6 weapons in a country that'd generally take away your guns for even being accused of DV.
