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 -
Agreed.
It would be easier if they'd be honest about their preferences and the consequences thereof.
In theory, perhaps, or historically. Libs are at the forefront of the anti-moon crew. If you want to argue Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren and the New York Times aren't really libs, fine, but that's one of the flaws to the two-party system.
Being proud of WW2 is much more of a conservative dad or granddad thing; young libs don't even like Churchill.
The civil rights movement is the founding myth of modern liberal-progressives, yes; a magic they don't know how to recapture.
The primary example that comes to mind is, i repeat myself, Ilhan Omar. A hateful creep that has achieved wildly more success than she could have in her home country, and uses it primarily shit on the country that welcomed her and support the country she left. It is unfair to extend this to the whole of "the libs," of course; a lot of that is negativity bias. But "the libs" had years to come up with a good narrative about America already being great, and they fumbled it over and over because... I don't really know why. For the party that's supposed to be the smartest, most talented, chock full to the brim with marketers and storytellers, they really fell on their face against what shouldn't be that hard of a question.
Biden spent more time apologizing for calling a murderer the wrong euphemism than expressing sympathy for the victim! If that's what liberal tribalism and preferences get us, then I don't know what's worth redeeming there.
