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 -
The war is coming home, as people predicted and feared.
The perpetrator of Michigan Temple Israel attack, the winner of Most Ineffective Terrorist of the Week prize (so far), was, unlike perpetrators of Old Dominion University attack and Buford's Backyard Beer Garden attack directly connected to the current war - he was Lebanese whose family was killed in recent Israeli bombing.
Results: one broken door, one injured security guard, thirty law enforcement officers suffering from smoke inhalation and probably marginal tens of million more in cash and weapons going to Israel. One million Lebanese who were expelled from their homes by Israel will still be never let back.
Reminder 1: Highly trained Iranian sleeper cells exist only in Tom Clancy novels.
Reminder 2: Both Epic Goat Beard Man and cutting edge science are right, individual terrorism does not work, even in the rare cases when it works.
Want to change the world? Organize, educate and agitate both elite human capital and the masses, today you can do it from your comfy room. One persistent shitposter can have bigger effect than all lone wolf shooters and bombers combined.

Depends on who the shooter shoots. If Thomas Matthew Crooks had slightly better aim we'd live in a radically different world
Yea, sacrificing your life to change history by *redacting * an irreplaceable person is the steelman argument for individual (or small group) action.
(Boron nitride cutting tool answer to this steelman is: If your enemy cause relies on life of single person, then it is historically doomed anyway. Every great man is mortal and if without him his forces disperse, it is going to happen sooner or later. Just eat popcorn, watch and wait.)
Anyway, truely irreplaceable people are very rare. In the heyday of the propaganda of the deed many royals, presidents and ministers fell with no noticeable effect.
(Was Charles Kirk really one of the rare persons? Too early to say.)

That shit was so cinematic I am in the pre-I Want To Believe phase, I am ready to alienate all my friends and family by making this one conspiracy my whole identity.
I joke of course, but there is for sure a market position waiting for whoever initiates the zapruder film industrial complex about this one.
Yes, every fan of Donald Trump wants to believe that there was no shoot and no shooter, only body of patsy deposited on the roof and ear scratched by razor shard hidden under orange finger nail. Patriots are in control, all goes according to genius 666D plan, nothing could be derailed by random lone gunman.
BTW, this is one of leading Israeli conspiracy theories regarding death of Yitzhak Rabin.
It was inside job organized by Rabin himself, nothing like failed assassination attempt to prop up your falling poll numbers. Yigal Amir was recruited as patsy and given gun with blank ammo, but outsmarted his handlers and swapped them for real bullets. Oopsie.

His aim was basically perfect; Trump moved his head.
Obvious divine plan in action. God hates America, wants to destroy it utterly and The Orange Man is His chosen tool of chastisement.

That's why you don't shoot at the head!
