Culture War Roundup for the week of February 13, 2023

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.

Eventually Hispanics will become the majority in America anyway. They won't buy into HBD either, but their lack of white guilt means they also won't care very much about the black excuse industry.

Objectively speaking I'd say Hispanics should be MORE vilified by wokeism. Your generic White might be a Swede or an Austrian, who never colonized anyone. Hispanics definatly descend from the particularly cruel and exploitative Spanish or Portuguese Empires - the ones who led the way and taught all the other Europeans how to be mean to foreign continents.

Once the Hispanics rise to a dominant economic / political position, you can bet the grievance industry will remember that part of the Age of Discovery, instead of pretending that Original Sin year was 1619.

This is a thought I've had before: everyone gets on America's case for slavery, nobody is really mad about how Spain basically genocided South America's empires out of existence and led the way in terms of European colonization. Maybe that's because we Americans spanked Spain so hard at the end of the 19th Century that they effectively stopped being an empire. Maybe some other country will dethrone America as world superpower and we'll no longer have to worry about culture wars.

Actually in Anglo countries the attacks on the Spanish Inquisition and Spanish colonialism are so common as to elicit a response from the Spanish - they call it la legenda negro.

Two things are true here - the average Hispanic is more likely a descendent of imperialists than a swede.

The other truth is that many Hispanics have a fair bit of native ancestry. So the genocide wasn’t as total as North America.

The average Hispanic in the US is only about 60% European by blood. The other 40% is some combination of indigenous and black.

This gives Hispanics some ability to larp as the descendants of colonized populations(even though the ones who know to do that are, uh, not exactly nahuatl speakers).
