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.

Two wolves and a sheep....
I suspect that ethnic animus is inversely proportional to living standards, which are downstream of energy supply. If so, then the Greens are one of the most anti-immigrant parties, and AfD, in supporting nuclear energy, might very well contain the seeds of their own destruction.
Why hello there Marx, playing at historical materialism again?
The problems natives have with the tens of millions of foreigners is the tens of millions of foreigners. Yes, it's entirely possible that if material circumstances were cushier, more people would distract themselves with the opiates of the masses du jour. But the massive everyday ethnic friction isn't some psychological projection or poor man's cope or some other intangible phenomenon you can wave away by accumulating a little more public debt to throw at the dissatisfied public. You can sedate people, sure, but they're learning their lessons - that immigration is a problem first and an opportunity second, that foreigners are not their brothers in humanism, that politicians and media will absolutely do their best to shaft them for ideological gains, and that the establishment parties may claim to take their concerns seriously while actually despising them and acting against their interests.
It's a good thing for the left that they already delivered a far more fatal stroke to nativism than "just throw money at the rubes to make them shut up". Sneaking in millions of immigrants, and later letting them rush in through opened floodgates while sabotaging every mechanism that might stem the tide or lead to functioning assimilation, that was a generations-long campaign that worked out excellently. Europe is now a multi-ethnic continent, and has neither the will nor the means to revert it. The AfD and similar parties will die out eventually as the natives are successfully replaced. Congratulations. You already won. To everyone's detriment.
