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 -
To illustrate that this indeed applies to Hungary as well, I present this article on the subject which appeared two months before the election. Voting districts where the then-main opposition umbrella party, which just now had a landslide victory, positions itself as ‘center-right’ but is nevertheless supported by almost the entire local Blue Tribe and gets applauded in the US Blue Tribe media, has majority support are marked in different shades of blue (heh). Accordingly, the big blue blob in the middle of the map is the capital and the suburban/metropolitan regions and commuter towns around it.
Orange and blue are the colours Fidesz and Tisza chose for themselves.
In general (several countries are exceptions) European political colours are the reverse of the modern* US convention, with centre-left parties using red (even if they are no longer actually socialist) and centre-right parties using blue. See for example this official EU Parliament page, or any Wikipedia article about a European national Parliament. (Wikipedia by policy follows parties' own choice of colour where possible).
Tisza are a big-tent centre-right party, so using blue is unsurprising. (The left in Hungary is defunct, a it is in Poland and the Czech Republic.) Fidesz adopted orange in their early days when they were a right-liberal party opposed to Soviet Bloc communism - yellow and orange are the most common colours used by liberal parties, including the British Liberal Democrats (both over time), German FDP (yellow) and Dutch VVD (who use blue-and-orange, reflecting their role as the de facto conservative party in Dutch politics as well as their own right-liberal tradition).
* To the best of my knowledge, Red = Republican and Blue = Democrat only became the convention after Bush vs. Gore. (Both parties use red, white and blue in their imagery). The BBC used blue = Republican/red = Democrat up to and including 2000 for consistency with the British convention (e.g. the popup map on this archive page) and switched to the modern US convention in its 2004 coverage (archive example). One account I read was that the US networks generally used blue for the incumbent and red for the challenger and red this became fixed as blue=Dem/red=Rep because the 2000 map became a meme during the Bush v Gore litigation.
Not true for Germany. The left is red, the center-left is red, the Greens are green, but the center right is black (with some tiny sparks of yellow disappearing rapidly). The extreme right is classically brown, but the main far-right party is using blue.
I suspect part of what is going on is that almost every political party for whom not being red is part of its identity (which covers the centre right, the far right, right-liberals and some left-liberals, particularly in the former Soviet bloc) wants to use blue if it is available.
Looking at the member parties of the Patriots for Europe group in the European Parliament, I would say most right-populist parties end up using a darker shade of blue than the main centre-right party in their country.
