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.
Jump in the discussion.

Notes -
As of time of writing, it’s possible the Hunter Biden plea deal may be falling apart.
Apparently the government isn’t after all quite willing to dismiss any future gun related charges after being pressed by the judge. If this is the case it looks like the media circus about the plea deal being unethical might not even have been necessary? It’s my opinion that the court process usually figures this stuff out on its own, unless anyone thinks media attention somehow influences the in court decisions of any interested parties significantly?
The funny thing about Hunter Biden is the Hunter Biden Brand is very culture warry but Hunter Biden himself is just a fairly stereotypical fucked up elite guy who did a bunch of grifting on his name.
Deep down I don’t even think Joe is culture warry left. He was probably disgusted by a bunch of trannies showing their boobs on the White House. But he grew up a Democrat politician and his chief skill is being that so he says what he needs to say for his coalition. He likes being the front man.
The only reason these people matter is because the left could never agree on a politician that wasn’t just a blank state so they propped him up. And now all there scandals became culture war.
I’ve been saying the whole time: Biden is the kind of president I want. For a sufficiently weak definition of “want,” at least. Boring. I want the President to shut up, sign or veto things, and sort of play mediator. And especially not commit crimes. Maybe this is what it means to be “presidential.”
Even Biden’s attempts at signature legislation feel more like complying with someone else’s push than a personal campaign promise.
I think right-leaning news knows that this plays pretty well with centrists. Hard to offend people by doing nothing exciting. This would be why the “mentally unfit” attack has seen so much airtime.
Yeah if you exclude all of the things Biden has done then he is centrist.
Instead Biden has:
Tried to unilaterally cancel about 500b of student debt that everyone (including Pelosi) thought required congressional approval since you know generally congress has to approve buildings.
Required effectively all working adults to take a vaccine they didn’t want to try to stop the spread of a virus when they knew the vaccine couldn’t do that once again without congressional approval.
Sic the FBI on parents calling them domestic terrorists for..being involved with school board meetings in a way that went against his beloved teachers union.
Engage in significant censorship and tried to create a disinformation board.
Used the bully pulpit to support gender affirming care calling laws to stop it “close to sinful” or used that bully pulpit to claim benign voter lawyers as “Jim Eagle.”
It really is tiring hearing supporters of Biden continue to claim “he is centrist” when he has been anything but and the only reason he didn’t have more progressive policies passed was because Manchin.
Also of course there appears to be the vast amount of bribes he took so that you know undermines the whole “don’t do illegal acts” thing.
You missed the various rule making and policy changes affecting firearms as well. See VanDerStok v Garland very similar to the student debt case where through administrative rule-making they attempted to redefine statutory language well beyond the plain meaning. There is also the "zero tolerance" policy for FFLs treating form 4473 errors made by applicants not the FFLs and that were approved by NICS (FBI+ATF) yet still incorrect (putting country in the county field of question 10 as an exmaple) as "willful violations" leading to license revocations that can only be challenged in a hearing presided over by an ATF employee who is the boss of the same ATF employees who made the determination to revoke the license in the first place.

Jim Eagle? Why the code word? You can just say Crow.
He famously claimed Georgia now was basically Jim Crow but worse — he then called it Jim Eagle.
Oh I missed that. Lol.

Presumably @zeke5123 was referencing this Biden quote.
Yep thanks!
