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 -
I noticed the article makes similar claims that steppe ancestry wasn't related to social class in ancient Greece:
Who was the god among the Greco-Romans venerated as embodying the highest degree of power and beauty- worshipped as "The Most Greek" of the gods? It was Apollo the Hyperborean. Apollo was likewise known as Archegetes, meaning Apollo was a founder of civilizations and a colonizer, who "took pleasure" in the creation of cities and contrived their existence. The god embodies a race of civilizational founders who emerged from a northern realm. In the 4th century AD, the physician Adamantius described the "true Greek" - or where the "Hellenic race has been kept pure" as:
The Ionians in particular were understood as directly descended from Apollo.
Apollo was described as the most beautiful and perfect of the gods, establishing a breeding model and aspirational model for men. Here we see the Indo-European, Nordic type posited as a physical ideal among the ancient Greeks. Apollo is the unequivocal embodiment of the Indo-European gene worshipped by the Greco-Romans. The basis for your assertion that the Indian Caste system has non-IE origins is rationalized in your article with:
But caste subdivision was a fact of Greco-Roman civilization. In Ancient Greece the Phratry controlled access to civic society and citizenship. Phratry was itself considered a subdivision of Phyle- tribe, or clan. There were subdivisions within the Phratry known as Genos, from which we derive the modern words gene or genetics.
Unequivocally, in Greco-Roman society we see an identical concern with genetics as religion, including castes and their subdivisions, in the amelioration of an Indo-European gene. This is to say, the caste system in India is Indo-European, and after all both jati and varna are words of Indo-European origin.
