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 -
The corporate overlords of SQLite forced them to adopt a CoC, but the guy managing thought the whole thing is silly, and copy-pasted the rule of St. Benedict, if that counts. They were forced to drop it, and adopt something woke, though.
Was kinda hoping there would be a more, um... "successful" example, instead of one guy making a brief show of resistance before getting his ass kicked. I guess GPL sorta counts, in that it's (a) not explicitly woke, (b) focused on the software itself and (c) can't easily be gotten rid of.
That parameter was not specified in the original query ;)
True. How about like, a sincere attempt at doing it, rather than just a sarcastic joke or dragging their feet? Like, James Damore was unsuccessful, but he did sincerely try to counter wokeness at Google where he worked. He was openly taking a stand. It seems like most everyone on the anti-woke side just dodges the issue or goes for "non-violent resistance," when they're not shitposting anonymously.
I don't think this is an accurate description of what he did when he wrote and distributed his infamous memo. I'd characterize it more as him sincerely trying to help wokeness, under the belief that the woke (or rather, the equivalents at the time, since I don't think "woke" was nearly as commonly used back then) genuinely wanted to accomplish the things they said they did.
Back then that was the sincere anti-woke position, though. I'm only speaking for myself, but 7 more years of black pills made me reconsider all that talk about "equality", but at the time I was all on board for closing gender gaps (I suppose even now, I'm not against "women in tech", but I'd say just do what we did in sports, and have some degree of sex segregation).
The biggest blackpill with Damore is that there were two camps
and
Just underscored how anyone against this stuff has no allies anywhere.
In the end didn’t Damore win, he settled for a presumably large sum out of court because of California state law prohibiting firing for political opinions, didn’t he?
He settled, but because it was undisclosed he might have settled for Larry Page having to forgo giving him a swift kick in the butt.
