Culture War Roundup for the week of July 22, 2024

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.

What would be the point of pretending Biden isn't dead?

If he died we'd get president and candidate Harris. Seems to be what everyone wants.

Hillary Clinton (it was HER place in history!)

More seriously, the media and Democrat insiders extremely strongly insisted Biden WILL drop out that weekend. And he did. If he also died that weekend that's maybe a bit too much of a coincidence to just gloss over.

She’d take the office as the first woman President of the US after having dropped out of the 2020 primaries due to bad polling and having been nominated by Biden due to her demographic profile (“Black” woman). She’d be seen as the face of DEI quota hiring, not a woman who succeeded due to her merits like Secretary Clinton would have been. The House will have to vote in her successor as Veep, and she’d be stuck with whoever they chose. None of the optics are good. And the polling says she has a good chance to occupy the office for all of half a year before Trump becomes 48th.

They also want her to earn the office of 47th President with votes, because they can campaign on “if you vote for her, you can show the world a woman can be President!” This boosts the down-ballot races.

The House will have to vote in her successor as Veep

It's a ceremonial office anyway.

They also want her to earn the office of 47th President with votes,

Of course, the 25th amendment doesn't cancel the election.

I don't totally discount the argumentum ab vibum, but I don't think it's strong enough to keep a conspiracy going.

I agree, I think there's a much likelier chance that Biden is very upset at what happened and is just not being very cooperative with the people who engineered his ouster

I think he's probably in a moderately-bad state (but not terminal) plus not cooperating. If he hadn't taken a downturn, I think he's not coerced to resign.

It's kind of a bad look if the sitting President of the United States blunders an interview, is widely considered un-reelectable, resists calls to step down and dies shortly afterwards.

That's the kind of thing you see in Crisis of the Third Century era Roman politics.

Except the alleged Pupienus was weeks before the debate.

It's not too far from what happened to FDR, except that guy managed the media better.

This might be the silliest 10 days I’ve ever seen.

  1. Weekend at Bernie’s debate
  2. Trump shot by 20 year old kid while SS watched and everyone just agrees SS incompetent
  3. Biden gets covid
  4. Cocksucking whore becomes nominee
  5. Biden just disappears
  6. No one at SS has any explanation for how a kid with no training wandered around with basically I’m a sniper going to shoot Trump shirt on and no one noticed

Did Covid just fry everyone’s brain? Or the kid playing the simulation got bored?

Forgot to mention at some point a crack smoking trust fund kid with a hooker problem may or may not have essentially been the acting President.

Edit: was meant to be humorous. By writing things in extreme. Humor of course does not always translate in text. My actual view on Kamala is 2010 Kamala and her true beliefs are fairly moderate.

I guess I advocated for perhaps the right is correct to pursue cancel culture as they have power. If you live by the sword you die by the sword.

Seems like I get enough upvotes. And I have previously criticized your AAQC taste.

Cocksucking whore becomes nominee

This whole post is an example of unfiltered culture warring where you just see how much shit you can throw at the wall. You've been told (and told and told and told) to stop posting like this. Last time you were told you were cruising for a permaban.

You have, by my count, 8 warnings and 6 tempbans, with notes saying "Escalate if he doesn't improve." You have zero AAQCs, and to my recollection, you have never posted anything interesting or of value. You collected nine reports on this post. I have no confidence you are willing or capable of improving.

I'm just going to make this a permaban, unless the other mods are feeling merciful and want to give you another chance.

Insanity. The simulation got weird.

I still remember when Obama roasted Trump at the 2011 Correspondent's Dinner. That was some funny stuff. Trump, what a clown, amirite?

If you told me that 13 years later I would be voting for that clown for President, I could never have guessed at the twists and turns of fate that brought us here.

For that to make sense your definition of "Shortly" is doing a lot of work here. Pretending he has COVID buys them what, a week? This is the sitting President of the United States, not some reclusive celebrity. He can't just mysteriously stop making public appearances or attending meetings for the next seven months.

IDK, these people aren't great schemers. I would've thought about this BEFORE doing some shady backroom deal to get an already old Biden as nominee in 2020 with Kamala. This was an eminently foreseeable problem.

I would've gotten a decent looking signature on my jpeg too. Maybe people are in a rush and playing for time to outrun the other factions to the throne? Maybe they're just collectively stupid?

It's also difficult to realize how deep the internet autists are going to look into something. Maybe 20 years ago you would have been able to get away with it but now its too difficult to control the narrative and I think some people have not updated.

Yes, if he were dead (he's not) there would be no need to hide it since that's everything they want. So why is Biden in hiding? Perhaps he had a 'sode (as the kids say) and is a babbling idiot. Perhaps he's extremely grouchy after having been shivved by his own party. I don't know. Seems like he'd want to give a nice speech for party unity.

I'm betting on sickness and senility. If Biden resigns now it reveals the big lie that he was just fine this whole time, when it's clear to everyone who has been paying attention that he has been incapable of doing the big job for months if not longer.

Hasn't he been isolated by his son and wife for a while? If they don't want him making public appearances(perhaps because they are not rational actors) then they might be able to stop him.

Not totally convinced.

If he were actually incapacitated I don't see why they wouldn't just invoke the 25th for the same reasons.

Kamala is looking to be president soon. She doesn’t want to normalize using the 25th amendment.

I don’t know personally how true this is but I heard recently in an interview that the 25th is not designed to forcefully remove a president. If the president is aware and capable enough to resist at all it wouldn’t work. I hadn’t heard that before and it changed my view of some of this stuff.

I don't believe anyone believes that the 25th poses a threat to Kamala.

In his interview with Stephanopoulos, Biden said, “Look. I mean, if the Lord Almighty came down and said, ‘Joe, get outta the race,’ I'd get outta the race.”

I think it’s pretty clear what happened.

Joe: "Lord, why do you sound like Nancy Pelosi?"

Lord: "I move in mysterious ways. Now, we can do this the easy way or the hard way..."

Don't mock. Kamala Harris could win in November and Nancy Pelosi would still be the most effective female politician in American history.

Looks like our troubles are behind us.

Is ..this a joke? I don't always know here.

It is, though the Biden quote is real.

What is this place?

This website is a place for people who want to move past shady thinking and test their ideas in a court of people who don't all share the same biases. Our goal is to optimize for light, not heat; this is a group effort, and all commentators are asked to do their part.

The weekly Culture War threads host the most controversial topics and are the most visible aspect of The Motte. However, many other topics are appropriate here. We encourage people to post anything related to science, politics, or philosophy; if in doubt, post!

Check out The Vault for an archive of old quality posts. You are encouraged to crosspost these elsewhere.


Why are you called The Motte?

A motte is a stone keep on a raised earthwork common in early medieval fortifications. More pertinently, it's an element in a rhetorical move called a "Motte-and-Bailey", originally identified by philosopher Nicholas Shackel. It describes the tendency in discourse for people to move from a controversial but high value claim to a defensible but less exciting one upon any resistance to the former. He likens this to the medieval fortification, where a desirable land (the bailey) is abandoned when in danger for the more easily defended motte. In Shackel's words, "The Motte represents the defensible but undesired propositions to which one retreats when hard pressed."

On The Motte, always attempt to remain inside your defensible territory, even if you are not being pressed.


New post guidelines

If you're posting something that isn't related to the culture war, we encourage you to post a thread for it. A submission statement is highly appreciated, but isn't necessary for text posts or links to largely-text posts such as blogs or news articles; if we're unsure of the value of your post, we might remove it until you add a submission statement. A submission statement is required for non-text sources (videos, podcasts, images).

Culture war posts go in the culture war thread; all links must either include a submission statement or significant commentary. Bare links without those will be removed.

If in doubt, please post it!
