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 have a general political theory on the current Democratic Party that no matter what gift Trump gives them they will find a way to mess it up.
ICE has had a lot of bad vibes lately. Enter the Bad Bunny Super Bowl show. I had never heard of him before Trumps rants on the Bad Bunny being in the Super Bowl. I don’t know if he was picked by the wokes or simply the NFL trying to find away to grow the game outside the US.
I think a general view of the center-left is to be nice to immigrants (empathy) even if they are closer to economic migrants than asylum/desperate. This feels like a cooking the frog too fast type moment where the message seems to be we will replace your culture and you will like it moment. The Super Bowl to me is perhaps the American Holiday most linked to Americana and they did the event completely in Spanish. The performance was trashy with some sort of sugar plantation theme (which were never in America and most of Spanish-Speaking Americans are not sugar plantation culture).
My hope is that this has gone too far and even my liberal mother will have an issue with explicit replacement.

I was also starting to consider Americans thoughts on what is generally referred to as LATAM which is basically anything south of the Rio Grande. Most Americans probably group them into one group even though they are distinct economically and in their ethnic makeup. I don’t think the other south of the border types would be happy with their presentation when we could have found other groups with positive cultural traits if the goal was marketing to LATAM. Maybe I am missing a group but when I think of south of the border I think there are a few broad groups.
If the NFL goal is to grow the game I don’t see how highlighting sugar cane field sex would be viewed as a good way to reach out. Groups from these regions only have significant presence in Miami and Puerto Rico within US territories. From what I can tell southern cone twitter hates the performance.
After viewing the performance I will rate it worse than my fears. Politically I will rate it as good for my side in the category of the wokes always find a way to ruin electoral chances for the Democrats.
Edit: Empire which America is should never degrade itself especially on the big stages. It’s actually one reason the stupid amount of money we spent on the new Fed I can understand. When Milei comes to Washington (any Leader) and signs some currency swap the building he meets with Bessent or Powell needs to loudly say Empire. In Dunk and Egg show the bad Targaryen gets it right the dragon never dies even in a puppet show. The Super Bowl is one of those stages for the US.
I’m going to say something that people will think isn’t true or if it is true will make them think mean things about my wonderful fiancé: she literally cried during the halftime show. With many ‘ wtfs ‘ and ‘ where the fuck are we safe ‘ etc etc
She’s been told in her industry she needs to learn Spanish to get a promotion. Shes moved to SFL from Vermont where she was, as best as I can say it, picked on by Spanish chicas for being white and called racist by the blacks, and over the last two years I’ve made her safe enough to start seriously thinking about shifting demographics changes and what they mean for the country in our lifetime.
It was just the cherry on top for the way a certain segment of the white population (that is, the majority of the white population) get treated by minorities.
This halftime show (as well as last year) is anti white propaganda and it’s starting to make normies absolutely furious.
Not sure what, if anything, will happen but history doesn’t take kindly to minorities making the majority feel unsafe and unwelcome.
Oh hey! It’s the signs of snowflakery:
Look man, you're following a trajectory similar to most anti-right posters who take on the Motte contrarian role: you are fighting uphill and getting downvoted constantly so you become increasingly snide and condescending until we have to ban you because your entire identity is wrapped around baiting and taunting. I warn and ban righties who can't stop being smarmy condescending assholes, and I will do the same to you, and it is never about your politics. So please knock it off.
Sorry. The image was from a Jon Stewart clip where he asks when did the right become such f*cking pussies? I came here right afterwards to this guy telling me that he’s being genocided and his wife started crying because they had to watch a Spanish language concert.
Youre right Im gonna take a break from the motte, saludos cordiales a todos.
Try to internalize this.
The latter is far more of a threat to the commons than importing LATAMS best who can maintain a high end society. If you are going to go into my pocketbook then yes I care.

Also I’m very left wing.
Also you’re taking such a bad interpretation of what I wrote that I consider it lying.
I believe you. But I can see why the other commenter assumed the worst.
From here on out, I am talking about a certain type of person on theMotte. Not you or your wife. Let's call them White-Nostalgists.
The White-Nostalgist constructs a suffocatingly narrow definition of whiteness, which few can satisfy. He then complains that white people are being replaced. I'd characterize his belief as: "To be Legacy American is to be ethnically British or German, Protestant, and embody the values of those immigrant groups circa 1900. America must restore cultural and political primacy to this group".
In 2026, this belief runs up against many unresolved incompatibilities. Given these open ends, his sharp critique of every aspect of liberal culture comes across as 'isolated demands for rigor'. Ofc some commenters here get ticked off. You were caught in the crossfire.
Some unresolved incompatibilities:
There is an unfortunate undercurrent of resignation that I can't help but mention. It's possible that this person knows he's one generation too late. The demographic scales have tilted. By 2024, white births (non-hispanic white mothers) were less than 50% of new Americans. He sounds stubborn because he isn't proposing a practical strategy, he's expressing anger. Democracy is 'Tyranny of the majority' and he is on the wrong side of that saying, for good.
