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.

Trump Indictment
Famously, Caesar crossed the rubicon with his army in contradiction to the law and effectively overthrew the republic. What some may not recall is that Caesar was faced with open insurrection by crossing the Rubicon with the XIII legion or likely being tried for treason anyhow. In effect, Caesar had little choice. Win or die. Not playing meant die.
Many democrats believe Trump led an insurrection. Now those same Democrats are bringing indictments again Trump that if successful means he may spend the rest of his natural life largely in jail. Yet Trump is also the likely Republican candidate.
Will Trump have his own rubicon moment? Probably not and probably wouldn’t succeed.
But this is yet another reason why prosecution was imprudent.
In 2016, were you asking if Hillary was about to have her own Rubicon moment?
Wow, I’m starting to understand why Fox hosts enjoy bringing her up. Unlimited ammunition.
These are both stupid parallels. Other commenters have covered the reasons why our modern Caesars aren’t war heroes steering armies via a spoils system, so I’ll go for a different tactic. I hereby announce my candidacy for President of the United States. I have the full backing of the Game Theory Party, and I expect no disruptive charges while I am running. Also, I expect one million dollars on my desk by next week.
This is of course a very silly post. Hillary didn’t already create a riot when she lost that targeted the capital.
I’m not suggesting that Trump would succeed but he might go farther this time. Prudence suggests either nailing him well before the election starts or well after; not during.
No, of course not, it targeted the White House.
Oh I agree what she did is terrible. But it was an inside job; not a popular revolt.
