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 -
How would you tell the difference?
Most liberals, being white, aren't motivated by selfish ethnic spoils for blacks. Things like 'not using racist language that might hurt black people' are well explained by 'really worried about people being hurt by racism in unfounded ways', and poorly explained by racial spoils.
So that leaves black people - what are they motivated by? Probably a lot of poor black people are partially motivated by something that's closer to 'ethnic spoils' - like, vote democrat for welfare (A liberal would say: yeah, if you're poor, you're voting to alleviate poverty, how is this bad??). If you're a petty criminal, you'll probably prefer dems who aren't tough on crime. But Brianna "earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from Harvard University and a Juris Doctor from Harvard Law School", "Gray supported Bernie Sanders 2016 presidential campaign and joined his 2020 campaign as his National Press Secretary", "Since Sanders' 2020 Democratic primary campaign ended, Gray returned to her role as contributing editor at Current Affairs in addition to co-hosting the Bad Faith podcast with former Chapo Trap House co-host Virgil Texas". She's stewing in the same left/socialist ideas all those white people are in - she supports Black Lives using the exact same rhetoric, and in the exact same ways, that high-status white socialists do.
from whining's post, on brianna: "that you have a moral obligation to allow yourself to be victimized by her tribe"
That it's "her tribe" isn't particularly relevant here. American ethnicities are complex historical accidents - nothing's innately black about defending a criminal underclass, and white criminal underclasses have exited at points in history. Nothing really stops libs from defending a hypothetical italian mafia in a country where POCs are the model minority.
Again, how would you know? There's definitely nothing contradictory between these two things. If you buy the "original sin" approach to racism, giving ethnic spoils to other group fits right in.
Nothing you wrote answers my question: how would you tell the difference, if that is what she actually wanted?
