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 -
Except we live in a Democracy. One person/group wrote the word “Insurrection” and one group of people voted on the word “Insurrection”. It therefore must have only one meaning by the people who wrote and voted on it.
As voted on it can only have one meaning. If today the definition of Insurrection has an interpretation by the Feds and an interpretation by Colorado it means there are now two definitions of Insurrection. But the word could only have 1 meaning as voted on. If you now have 2 meanings but when passed you had 1 meaning it now means one of the 2 current meanings is an imposter and was never Democratically voted on and therefore is NOT law.
Now if Colorado passed a law that no Insurrectionists can hold office and the Feds passed the 14th Amendment then you would have 2 definitions of insurrection that were passed thru a Democratic process. You could have a definition of Insurrection according to the Colorado state legislature and a definition of Insurrection as passed thru the US amendment process.
This is the core of the rule of law in a Democracy. A word must have a defined meaning as it is voted on. If the meaning of words can change then that means laws as used were never voted on. You would now be implementing laws that were never voted on.
I have no problem with States and Feds having different powers and the ability to govern issues separately within their jurisdiction. Democracy though requires voting on laws. When only one law was passed but two laws are being implemented it means that one of the laws was never voted on. 2 does not equal 1.
2 bills being passed and 2 laws being implemented would be fine since 2 does in fact equal 2.
