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.

No email address required.
Notes -
Working harder than is good or reasonable is cheating, because one attempts to lower others to that miserable level, which is bad or them, or else one takes what is rightfully theirs in terms of status, money, and employment. It's the same as using steroids in sports. It's unhealthy, it's not reasonable, you either win outside of the bounds of reasonable competition and therefore rob your competitors, or you force others to poison their bodies just like you.
Even if that kind of idiosyncratic statement was true, so what? You just said society isn't real, so if my family wants to outwork your family then you have no say. Society is what sets norms around what is reasonable behaviour. If it doesn't exist then everyone gets to set their own norms, no?
This comment is bad faith. You are following me between threads. Are you sneering at my messages in a Discord somewhere waiting to point out perceived inconsistencies between threads or something? Because it's not just you and these comments aren't exactly wracking up tons of organic views.
Anyway, what I meant by saying society is made up, is that there is no super entity that can be endowed with joint feelings that you owe. Therefore you cannot say it is possible to go behind society's back, or for society to decide something, in the same way that a family can coordinate. Obviously, there exists sets of people. Cheating and mass immigration effect the set of legacy American families and people, each individually in a bad way. Whereas a 25 year old dating a 17 year old effects no one in a bad way.
"Discord cliques could be here", he thought. "I've never been this deep in a thread before. There could be Discorders anywhere."
As someone who isn't following you across threads and just saw this comment on the firehose view: once you start sensing private sneering Discords in your walls, you've reached the level of an imageboard schizo who believes that any pushback on [insert hobby horse here] can only ever come from paid, astroturfed, structured opposition
too dreadfully big for him to fight. I suppose the probability of a, ahem, sneer club existing isn't literally zero, but it is so close to zero that it's barely worth suffering the (considerable, I might note) aura loss of pointing out, especially on an obscure Colombian bucket welding forum such as this one. Come off it, man. This is virtually never an argument that helps your case, it just scans as defensive reaching for whatever accusations you can muster, for lack of actual arguments.Bro, their arguments are just a fallacy and whining. I'm not on the defensive substantively. Meanwhile they are, like, the exact same type of poster phenotype, totally the kind to have some kind of sneer group going. It's super autistic actually to believe in atomization to the point where you think sensing a discord group is insane paranoia. Have you never used discord? or had a group chat?
I have, but I don't screenshot randos I'm talking to online and share it out of the blue like "look at this retard" or something, nor do any of my friend groups to my knowledge. My point and reason for my reply is that complaining about X-cords being out in force and confidently asserting that the thread is being raided, that the poasting is inorganic, that they're Nooticing etc. is a very common pastime - and yet in all the years of using imageboards I haven't seen even a shred of meaningful evidence to those malicious coordinated sneer 'cords actually existing. Absolutely none. Barely even any screenshots which by all accounts should both be trivial to produce, and give the shitposter the warm fuzzies of sekrit clubbiness and being In The Know. The "malicious coordinated action" is always, always just mythical use of free will by
sufficiently derangedsingular posters, amply demonstrated by the occasions when a janny deigns to ban a single schizoposter's IPs and like half of a thread disappears instantly. It's not more complicated than that.See this is the kind of thing you start sensing when you dig your heels in too deep, they're totally the kind to stalk me, bro, totally laughing in their 'cord right now, trust me bro. Is this supposed to be an argument, purely because (again) the possibility is not literally zero? If anything "heh that's just %fallacy_name%" smacks more of Redditposting than the uh, poster phenotypes on display here.
It's not that deep bro. A discord is not a conspiracy theory.
I brought up the exact same example you use, i.e the supposed existence of dedicated sneer discords. The line of (transparently motivated) reasoning that brings you to consider it is likewise the same in both cases, you even explicitly spelled it out - they're just the kind of people to do it, trust me bro. I simply point out how that ~never happens in practice and how your defense is not really a substantive argument.
not my experience.
