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 -
As others have posited, this might just be a backlash/increasing disgust with what liberalism presents itself as.
For instance that transgender influencer pulling out her breasts in full view of cameras on the White House lawn. Sam Brinton, a man wearing lipstick and full women's clothing... that he evidently stole from somebody else's luggage, being a relatively high-ranked Government official. The increasingly aggressive push to permit kids to get gender reassignment surgery. And Disney mucking about with their classic stories to wokeify them probably wouldn't help.
Basically it is entirely possible that people's personal beliefs aren't changing much, but their personal and policy preferences are getting more conservative because they're not happy with the current trajectory of the zeitgeist and, while they don't necessarily want to ban or restrict LGBTQ rights, they'd rather keep the worst of its' excesses away from themselves and their families. Basically "I have literally no problem with gay or trans people but I also don't need to hear about them 24/7 in the news or have them inserted into every piece of media I consume." Cultural conservatism, so to speak.
This is probably just wishful thinking on my part. But I do honestly believe we're going to see a political split that is basically drawn along the lines of "people who spend all their time screaming about victimization and acting like children" and "people who had to put up with the former group and are sick of it."
