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.

New epstein files stash released - search here: https://www.justice.gov/epstein
Trump is mentioned lots of times though some of the more lurid accusations (I was gangbanged by Trump and a bunch of other rich dudes) seem to be non credible. Epstein emailed himself about how he was annoyed that Bill Gates needed medicine from banging underage russian girls - probably fake blackmail. He also got banned from Xbox Live, shared coomer FNAF 4chan threads, talked with Chomsky about racial intelligence differences, getting advice on silencing a girl trying to expose his friends. For our global-intelligence-conspiracy friends, there are some connections to intelligence agencies.
Mods, remove this if it's a crappy post. It's hard to come up with a through line for this, other than "WOW he knew a lot of people".
I’m going to be honest I don’t care about who had sex with prostitutes. The only interesting things about Epstein to me are, was he an Israeli spy? Was he murdered? Was Ghislaine actually a reddit mod? I basically take for granted that 90% of men would have sex with everything that walks, given the chance, so none of that stuff is revelatory. Especially men that aggressively seek power/wealth/status, as they say, men only want one thing and it’s fucking disgusting.
It would be funny if that one thing turned out to be a genuine friendship, and people like Trump, Musk, Chomsky, Bannon never came anywhere close to the prostitutes (much less teenaged prostitutes). Hence Musk's seemingly oblivious plan to bring his wife on the "heli" that we discuss elsewhere in this thread.
For men of that power/wealth/status, people are always looking to get something from you or butter you up to screw you over later—what if Epstein's appeal was that he was a guy who never gave off those vibes? Just a bro who wanted to chill with his homies on his island, watch internet videos, and shoot the shit about things like racial IQ statistics.
I mean damn, look how happy and relaxed Chomsky and Bannon were together in Epstein's presence, like two old best friends reunited after years apart.
That honestly seems to have been Epstein's major talent; he was charming and friendly and even though he was out to make useful friends and connections, he could present him as sincere and interested in you for yourself, not for what you could do for him. As you say, rich people are used to others trying to make use of them, so someone who was "hey Jim, great to see you, tell me what do you think of my newest art piece?" and talk to them on that basis was disarming.
And then once he got the reputation of throwing the parties that you needed to be seen at, of course everyone who was anyone and those on the tier down from that wanted to be on his guest list.
