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 -
Do you not understand the difference between teenagers shitposting on casual discord chats and on tiktok vs professionals posting in work related chats?
I would never accept this sort of dark humor from an employee, regardless of their age, while at work and in work related groups. They can do what they want in their own time, but they're getting talked to if they joked about 9/11 or Kirk on a work email. That is unacceptable. Kids making humorous Nazi memes is one thing vs professionals in a work related chat, they are different categories and I suspect you must work at a very low level position where no one takes your business communications seriously if you don't grasp this concept. If I had a 30 year old just start talking about their love for Hitler at work, no matter how levels of irony shitposting they want to claim they're being, they're gonna be written up if not fired.
Oh no, you're going to correctly respond that worries over random lone wolf nutjob violence are hyperbolic, I'm so scared.
There were lots of professionals posting under their real names that they were glad Charlie Kirk was killed. And Young Republicans signal group is not a work-related chat.
"Under their real name" is not the distinction unless you're like mid level management or more typically, above really. I personally wouldn't care if a fry cook is posting edgy memes on their own Facebook, just don't do it at work and don't share it on slack.
But some people do, and lots of them got fired as was their employer's right (if they were private sector).
Sure seems like it was given the number of higher up officials in the organization (and even including some politicians from my understanding?) in the group chat. It doesn't seem to be like fry cook John and night shift Henry share shit posts with each other on discord tier chatting, it seems to be something for the organization proper. That's the sort of thing I would fire many employees for, if they were sharing their edgy memes in "the company I work for" group chat that included the CEO and clients.
