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 -
Yes. But the thing is I get banned for contradictory things. I'm permabanned on /r/law for defending Donald Trump (I think it was either the Stormy Daniels sham trial debacle or saying he has a legal right to control the border), here I was banned and threatened with a future permaban for speaking ill Donald Trump. I was recently permabanned from /r/fantasy for pushing back against someone that was making things political and responded, keeping things political admittedly, with a post that implied the word fascism is used too liberally and irrationally (it was one of those "somehow punching Nazis is bad now?? posts). Here I'm already getting pushback and "fight me" posts for saying the word fascism at all - and implying fascists might be bad.
So what's the common line? Yes, I am the baddie. But it's not the content of ideas or character. It's having a very angry and abrasive tone of voice in writing, being a contrarian that speaks against the tribe in whatever tribe I'm in. Not liking circlejerks. The other common line is that the modern post-smartphone Internet is incredibly siloed and stuffed to the gills with ninnies that want to destroy people that vaguely disagree with them. And people like me that want to think in confrontational dialectic can't last.
It didn't use to be this way, and I don't think I've changed that much from the days of forums. So yes, I say it's the world, and you, and the children that are the ones that are in the wrong.
False. You were banned for breaking the rules, more than once. We don't moderate content. You are welcome to speak ill of Donald Trump (or whomever) all you like--certainly others do. You just have to follow the rules when you do it.
Just about everyone here has a contrarian streak. Nobody cares. You can even be angry. (You can even get away with being a little abrasive, if you can do it artfully and don't target other users!) What you cannot do is make sweeping generalizations, uncharitable assertions, evidence-free rants, etc. You also can't Fedpost (violates the "recruiting for a cause" rule) or submit strictly illegal content for what are hopefully obvious reasons. The rules are what they are, and they will be enforced against you. But they will not be enforced against you for wrongthink, so please don't kid yourself on that score.
