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 -
Don't worry, I also "checked" to see if it was true at all. I asked:
The response:
Huh! That's weird. It's almost like ChatGPT's opinion continues not to be evidence.
Huh that response agrees with me? There is no evidence that what the tweet says happened.
If it's real then you could go find the charges or news stories on the case instead of relying on random tweet with still image as a source.
If you're genuinely unable to tell the difference between:
... then I don't know what to tell you.
I never said it's not true, in fact my asking for better forms of evidence should indicate I am open to it being true. But "random guy politically motivated on X says it happened" is F tier evidence. All he shows is a video of police taking a guy down and hitting on him some but the video quality is low and cut so we don't see what is happening beforehand or can't tell how/if the guy was resisting. Additionally the video itself is not evidence the guy was even charged with resisting arrest yet alone for the specifics that are alleged in the tweet, he could have been charged with something else that happened prior to the video that caused the cops to take him down.
If you could find something like a Fox News article (I believe in the Scott Alexander most mainstream media rarely lies stance so I'd accept it) that explicitly said the charges were for "blocking" or whatever or court documents that said it or something, I'd accept it as true.
