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 -
I'm saying that the handwringing about low Chinese household consumption is propaganda. It's presented as an unfair source of their competitiveness and an immoral exploitation of their population. In reality, even 40% is fairly normal in nations we recognize as successful upstanding members of the international community, and Chinese figure is underestimated and may be more like 50%.
You also annoy me with this constant appeal to paywall. The last link wasn't paywalled and it went on to explain why 46% is a lowball too.
That's not what you said.
Then there's no need to argue that actually Chinese consumption is more than 40% of GDP, right?
Buddy, you're no picnic yourself. You're treating arguments as soldiers. You make a blustering claim that someone has it wrong and then retreat to "why do you care??" and "it's actually fine, okay??" when it turns out he's pretty close after all. Your original claim about propaganda turns out to be rhetoric - claims about Chinese consumption are window dressing. Is Chinese consumption 40%? That's okay, totally normal, you just hate the Chinese. Is Chinese consumption 65%? See, just like America, no problem here. Very troubling.
