Culture War Roundup for the week of February 24, 2025

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.

Since no one has mentioned it yet, I will discuss my hobby horse and mention that because of mass immigration the American population is only a little more than half ethnically European and that share is rapidly falling. It's silly to expect that such a country will maintain such close ties with Europe when American demographics are rapidly shifting towards becoming a group of people who see Europe as the people who oppressed their ancestors with colonialism. The American right is probably going to continue its tendency towards isolationism while the American left will gradually become anti-Europe in a milder version of the way it has already become anti-Israel.

Most of the newer Americans are Hispanic, who are as likely to see Europeans as their colonial ancestors who brought civilization to the primitives as they are as historical oppressors.

Seriously the racial tensions in the US are mostly African-American v everyone else and inflamed by the blue tribe, not white v non-white.

Yeah. Racial discourse in the US is so ridiculous when it comes to Hispanics.

Imagine being a Mexican who is like 90% white and considered an oppressor, then moving to the US where you are all of a sudden "brown" and some sort of minority charity case.

We tend to lump Hispanics together but levels of European admixture are all over the place. Many will fully assimilate and become indistinguishable from the rest of the white population.

I have met Latin American legal immigrants who felt offended at the implication that they were non-whites needing help in the face of discrimination, similar to how I would react to being offered a spot in an affirmative action for trailer trash program.

In this house we welcome human garbage like yourself. How we can we help you get back on your feet poor soul?

I agree with the trajectory, but I disagree with your claim on what's causing it, at least from the American perspective. I think it has more to do with some combination of a geopolitical changing of the tides and the fairly obvious cultural suicide that Europe has allowed to occur with their mass immigration.

The mass immigration is a symptom not the cause.

Are you talking about developed countries' dwindling populations and their attempts at alleviating that problem?

Yes

We probably agree on what the cause is. My emphasis on their when talking about Europeans is due to the type of immigration rather than me casting any blame at them for trying to fix their impending demographic problem. In the U.S., much of our immigration comes from Latin America which is largely Christian, with cultural values that overlap with American society. Europe on the other hand has imported large numbers of immigrants from cultures with very different legal, religious, and social norms. Both the U.S. and Europe face this degenerative population disease, but Europe’s prescription has made assimilation much harder and fueled deeper cultural fragmentation.

Same reason I find it hard to believe how much CANZUK cope is going around right now. It's just not the same populations anymore.

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!
