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 understand that this is kind of difficult for you to grasp, because laws in America are a foreign concept to many, but-
Laws have to be enforced. If they are not enforced, then they are not real. If they cannot be enforced, they are not real.
America either has legal immigration or it doesn't. If it doesn't, then open the floodgates, and downstream effects of that kick in. If this is not a strategy you are willing to support, then enforcement is necessary, and if the enforcement has to do its job, it has to be armed.
Some people will get shot in the course of enforcing the law, whether they are innocent or guilty, that's the cost of enforcing laws in a country with a population the size of the US.
If you are protesting laws by trying to lobby Congress or trying to get laws changed, that's one thing. The US does indeed have a process for this, as shitty and inefficient as it might be. Protesting laws by trying to prevent armed people whose job it is to enforce the law from doing their job is a monumentally stupid way to get a Darwin award.
At no point did I mention anything about Trump running his mouth; the way he conducts himself is embarrassing for a head of state let alone the leader of the free world quote unquote but hey, whether you consider it a "mask off" moment or not, significant parts of the world have been thinking of American leaders this way since at least Bush I.
