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 -
This is probably better for the Friday fun thread, but 1) I can't wait and 2) we can culture war(game) this.
A dude was accused for shooting someone and then driving away.
The plot twist is that he is a quadruple amputee. Legs amputated above the knee, arms just below the elbow but including both hands. He also happens to be a semi-pro cornhole player. Well that's interesting, I guess. It seems kind of far fetched that he'd be shooting anyon---
There's a video of him loading and firing a handgun
It also appears that the victim in the shooting was in the passenger seat of the vehicle that the amputee was driving. And there were two more people in the back who, when asked, refused to help move the victim's body.

The culture war angle is that people will always find ways to kill each other even when genetics / misfortune has tried to bring one's lethality index to zero. Is it a sign of the times that our most bizarrely handicapped are still stacking bodies?
As a pro-gun person, I'm somewhat confused on how to feel. On the one hand (sorry) I think any non-felonious and non-mentaly-incompetent adult should be able to own whatever firearms they want (drawing a line at crew serviced weapons). On the other hand (okay, it's getting old now) I can't imagine actually selling a gun to this individual because I would be very hard pressed to think "Yes, this individual can responsibly and safely operate a firearm."
I didn't expect "God made Man, Sam Colt made them equal" to go quite that far, but it's a persuasive argument for expansive gun rights IMO. This case sure sounds like a murder, but the less-physically-capable deserve access to lethal force as much as anyone else does.
EDIT: Bonus culture war content. Could you imagine any post including "...before driving off in his Hyundai." No? But once it's a Tesla, then the car's make becomes newsworthy, or something.
Well, maybe. There was the Rodney King chase, which involved King and two buddies going well over 100mph in his 1988 Hyundai Excel.
