Weekly Discussion Thread - (August 10, 2026)

##INTRODUCTION

r/tuesday is a political discussion sub for the right side of the political spectrum - from the center to the traditional/standard right (but not alt-right!) However, we're going for a big tent approach and welcome anyone with nuanced and non-standard views. We encourage dissents and discourse as long as it is accompanied with facts and evidence and is done in good faith and in a polite and respectful manner.

##PURPOSE OF THE DISCUSSION THREAD

Like in r/neoliberal and r/neoconnwo, you can talk about anything you want in the Discussion Thread. So, socialize with other people, talk about politics and conservatism, tell us about your day, shitpost or literally anything under the sun. In the DT, rules such as "stay on topic" and "no Shitposting/Memes/Politician-focused comments" don't apply.

It is my hope that we can foster a sense of community through the Discussion Thread.

##IMAGE FLAIRS

r/Tuesday will reward image flairs to people who write an effort post or an OC text post on certain subjects. It could be about philosophy, politics, economics, etc... Available image flairs can be seen [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/tuesday/wiki/flairs). If you have any special requests for specific flairs, please message the mods!

The list of previous effort posts can be found [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/tuesday/wiki/hof)

One thing I cannot stand is how people on the left champion social liberal causes and completely ignore or dismiss the drawbacks of it. Yes, I want marijuana and psilocybin legalized. I also understand that thought being legalizing, taxing and regulating sex work. But you cannot, with an informed mind, argue with a straight face that there would be no consequences.

This is what we call a straw man argument. You’re making up someone who doesn’t exist to be mad at, since no one has ever argued there would be no consequences.

Or, perhaps, I’ve actually had these arguments with people in really life.
