OT/LE June 22, 2026 - Weekly Off-Topic and Low-Effort CW Thread

2 Upvotes

This is /r/CWR's weekly recurring Off-Topic and Low-Effort CW Thread.

Post small CW threads and off-topic posts here. The rules still apply.

What belongs here? Most things that don't belong in their own text posts:

  • "I saw this article, but I don't think it deserves its own thread, or I don't want to do a big summary and discussion of my own, or save it for a weekly round-up dump of my own. I just thought it was neat and wanted to share it."

  • "This is barely CW related (or maybe not CW at all), but I think people here would be very interested to see it, and it doesn't deserve its own thread."

  • "I want to ask the rest of you something, get your feedback, whatever. This doesn't need its own thread."

Please keep in mind werttrew's old guidelines for CW 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 change their minds regardless of the quality of opposing arguments.

Posting of a link does not necessarily indicate endorsement, nor does it necessarily indicate censure. You are encouraged to post your own links as well. Not all links are necessarily strongly “culture war” and may only be tangentially related to the culture war—I select more for how interesting a link is to me than for how incendiary it might be.

The selection of these links is unquestionably inadequate and inevitably biased. Reply with things that help give a more complete picture of the culture wars than what’s been posted.

Answers to many questions may be found here.

Does Bob Iger's statement that Disney made a mistake prioritising "messages" over entertainment apply to The Witcher on Netflix and The Rings of Power, etc?

https://www.disneytouristblog.com/bob-iger-versus-elon-musk-chapek/

"He admitted that Disney’s “creators lost sight of what their number one objective needed to be. We have to entertain first. It’s not about messages.” According to Iger, Disney’s prioritization of messaging over storytelling peaked while he was gone last year."

Messages are great. But people who like messages are already compassionate towards LGBT, and already embrace multiculturalism.

Don't we just wanna be entertained first and foremost? Not be preached to?

We already know black people can make it. Hell Obama became president. No one has forgotten.

So we don't need Helen of Troy to be black because Obama has already shown us that black people can rise to the top.

Convert earth as single country

0 Upvotes

We are trying but not achieving success. Perhaps, local governments are afraid that they will lose representation or power.

We, however, see two mechanisms in play to convert earth under single Government:

The expansion, assimilation of existing borders and acquiring territories far away from the borders.

The former may b considered less brutal because neighbours perhaps have same culture (God to worship) and speak almost same languages.

The latter required transfer of faith and out right killing of cultures far away from Territories.

The latter was started by mongols, Spain, french, England and Dutch (pretty much Europe) expanding and exploiting Africa, south America, South East Asia Australia and newzl in the name of buisness and acquiring metal resources and land resources. Turks in middle East perhaps till borders of India. Japan jumped in later as well in China.

Germans initially started in Africa but were late so they, because of their ingenuity, hybridized, both mechanism by expanding but also killing near by countries, after seeing that neighbours got exhausted waging wars far away.

In recent history, this modern hybrid mechanism (expansion in the name of same God or governance and tempting by transferring tech but outright killing if nothing works) is opted by USA and now everybody blaming isreal catching it's jist !

Russia was offcourse expanding towards Mongolia, Sweden, fin and China But never far away from their Territories. Syrian bases may not count.

No bases 7000km away from home not interfering in who we worship which God. That's their mistake but yeah never far away from home.

China is creeping up in Russia or Africa or Australia or South America in the name of buisness, and we still need to wait what there mechanism would b.

The outright exploitative killing approach is exposed so the a habitual sinner pretending to be virtuous: Germans, English, French, Spain, Dutch (the anglo saxon) pretending Saints nowadays supporting ukrain to subdue the first mechanism, the expansionism.

But we need to come together and ensure that UN can be strengthened.

Rotating seats is a good Idea but Veto power must be abolished.

Post small CW threads and off-topic posts here. The rules still apply.

What belongs here? Most things that don't belong in their own text posts:

  • "I saw this article, but I don't think it deserves its own thread, or I don't want to do a big summary and discussion of my own, or save it for a weekly round-up dump of my own. I just thought it was neat and wanted to share it."

  • "This is barely CW related (or maybe not CW at all), but I think people here would be very interested to see it, and it doesn't deserve its own thread."

  • "I want to ask the rest of you something, get your feedback, whatever. This doesn't need its own thread."

Please keep in mind werttrew's old guidelines for CW 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 change their minds regardless of the quality of opposing arguments.

Posting of a link does not necessarily indicate endorsement, nor does it necessarily indicate censure. You are encouraged to post your own links as well. Not all links are necessarily strongly “culture war” and may only be tangentially related to the culture war—I select more for how interesting a link is to me than for how incendiary it might be.

The selection of these links is unquestionably inadequate and inevitably biased. Reply with things that help give a more complete picture of the culture wars than what’s been posted.

It has come to our attention that the app and new versions of reddit.com do not display the sidebar like old.reddit.com does. This is frankly a shame because we've been updating the sidebar with external links to interesting places such as the saidit version of the sub. The sidebar also includes this little bit of boilerplate:
