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 -
Thunberg is probably asexual, or at least calls herself that, but if she does end up settling down with someone I'll be sure to ping you. If she does it'll most likely be someone just as autistic as she is.
As @omw_68 notes below me, Thunberg's recent pivot to anti-Zionist activism demonstrates that she isn't really the diehard environmentalist she presented herself as for her first few years in the public eye. I was tempted to say she's really an omnicause activist, and @omw_68 chalks it up to her being a grifter, but I don't think that's quite right. I just think she's an intensely impressionable person, who seamlessly adopts the opinions of anyone in her vicinity she perceives as high-status. As a child, her parents told her that climate change was The Thing, and she took that to heart; having been taken in by a crowd of leftists, she's been persuaded that anti-Zionism is The Thing. What this means in practice is that Thunberg's opinions are entirely contingent on those of whoever happens to be in her immediate vicinity. I don't find it remotely implausible that, in the next few years, she might meet and fall for a fellow Swedish autist who is fervently opposed to Syrian migration, and seamlessly adopt his opinions without any subjective feeling of discontinuity or hypocrisy. I can't imagine she felt any sense of discontinuity when she pivoted from environmentalism to anti-Zionism (because it's. All. Part. Of. The. Same. Struggle, as omnicausers would have us believe).
The other possibility is that she grows up and belatedly develops an internal ethos of her own, her worldview no longer beholden to the vicissitudes of fate and happenstance. I wouldn't bet on it: I think she has at least one more pivot left in her.
@omw_68 That leads into the larger question of why the greater left seems to have suddenly put a damper on environmentalism and climate change activism. This seems like more than just a pivot to a new Current Thing. Environmentalism and climate change hysteria has been the background music of the left for the last 30 years, and suddenly there seems to be a coordinated move to turn down the volume. I’m not sure why.
I don't know either, but my best guess is that there's no real reason, it's a matter of intellectual fashion.
From the perspective of the individual Leftist, there's value in running with the crowd. If everyone in your circles seems to care about global warming, the safe thing to do is to care about global warming yourself (or at least pretend to). Of course, there is also value in being (or tying to be) a trend setter. If you start pushing a new issue, it might convince people that you are a high status trend setter type.
In my opinion, this is very very similar to the way people think about fashion when it comes to clothing.
Of course, with clothing, some years ruffle skirts are in; some years bell bottom jeans are in; etc. etc. Often there's no clear reason for it, it's just an emergent property of a system where there's value in copying others but also value in being a trend-setter.
(As a side note, it's interesting that women seem to me more into keeping up with fashion than men both in terms of clothing and ideology. I would guess this is not a coincidence.)
So my best guess is that there's no real reason for the pivot you mention (to the extent it's real), it's just something that kind of happened.
