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 -
Yes because they regard as the highest form of morality and integrity the consistent following of Truth, logical, rational truth and reason to wherever it may lead. When the conclusion from first principles matches common sense, at least you still have a cool story for why you do the common thing. When it deviates, then it's a moral imperative to follow through with the logical derivation and disregard normie common sense, since if you fell back to normie common sense each time a conclusion is "strange", especially when the stakes are high, then what even differentiates you from a larper who just vibes on rationalism but doesn't put their money where their mouth is? Skin in the game! And anyway, if you didn't choose your intellect and reason over normie grass touching, then how are you superior to them anyway? If you're at the end of the day also just running normie script, then it would turn out that your life has to also be judged according to normie criteria. You're no longer a wizard among muggles with the special power of Logic and Intellect (no coincidence that HPMOR is a fanfic of HP).
And they eternally conflate external explanatory analysis and first-person choices.
This disgust at the calculated "loyalty-like" behavior that appears to be loyalty but is actually some kind of conscious game theory or whatnot, seems related to women's ick about finding out that someone used PUA tactics on them. They just want a guy to be attracted and to act "naturally". Same here. You want the man to be loyal "naturally", not just because they feel this is the best tactic and course of action right now to achieve their objectives.
'Calculated loyalty' does not sound the same as 'loyalty' to me. That's like saying nobody should prefer butter over 'I can't believe it's not butter'.
At least for the meme of women being upset that PUAs are faking confidence and are not actually the kind of men that they represent themselves to be, there is actually a chance that they grow closer to the female ideal through 'fake-it-til-you-make-it'.
Interesting recent comment on the importance of loyalty, trust, fealty, in a medieval context.
