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 -
Almost always a disgruntled biological dad (occasionally mother) who's lost custody in a separation dispute -- way more than 60% from the alerts I've seen (which go out province-wide for some reason); pretty much 100% of them are like "be on the lookout for a scruffy dude in a red Camry with a six and ten y.o. kid 1000 miles away from where you live" and come out at 1:00 am.
So they come on your telescreen (by law), are intentionally loud enough to wake everyone up, and 99.99% of the messages translate to "Emmanuel Goldstein is personally raping a child right now, and you can't do anything about it, have a nice day".
I don't think it's confusing as to why a State would prefer that approach at all.
No, I'm pretty sure most people know what is up -- in case "scruffy dude" wasn't clear enough, it's more like "Jimmy MacTrailerpark lost custody of his kids and is taking matters into his own hands", and everyone is well aware. (very occasionally Trish MacTrailerpark, but this probably reflects the way the cookie crumbles in family court more than any gender bias in poor decisionmaking.)
Apparently Canada has chosen to lock all alerts at "Presidential" level, so I also get tidal wave warnings when there's an earthquake in Alaska -- the name might be helpful actually, possibly TDS can be leveraged to alter the situation...
Perhaps, but you and I are both at least literate and capable of noticing patterns.
But I will remind you that, specifically in a nation that uses the word "femicide", that such a State inherently has a non-negative and non-zero incentive to remind you, in one of the more disruptive ways available to it, to imply that a man (perhaps happenstance they're mostly men, but convenient) is abducting random children to set on fire.
The alarm fatigue serves to reinforce "this is the new normal, here's yet another abduction or 'climate emergency' [even though the tidal waves have even less to do with that]" for those citizens who are so inclined to see them that way.
