Culture War Roundup for the week of November 27, 2023

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.

Sorry, I’ll admit I only skimmed through the text as it’s very long.

the way to go is to ban their NGOs, which includes ethnic supremacist organisations of left wing associated tribes too, not just general left wing organizations, and to not allow the woke to run any institutions and to be intolerant towards their ideology

Let’s say I agree with everything you just said. How would you propose actually doing this? It’s not like anyone in control of any institutions are going to willingly give up their power.

That isn't the main issue and it is something to be examined in detail in another day. The idea was mainly to examine the concern trolling and what should be done about it as a small aside but not to come with an exact strategy in an already long post and no reason to post any exact gameplan.

Under this logic how can anything ever change? All things must change, and just like the communists lost, so will the woke. Part of the way to oppose things is to undermine the moral legitimacy of an immoral system, which actually matters. We do see a rise of wiser opposition that is less fooled by the pretenses as it used to be. Precisely because liberals in the past that were woke like were less extreme and their agenda was less pervasive. The same overused dirty tactics have become predictable and the scam has been realized.

So I make my own small contribution as a cog in the machine of opposing something that deserves opposing and in doing so contributing productively in discourse by bringing truth and clarity on an issue by uncovering how it has been framed in a manner that is deceitful and unjust.

It’s not like anyone in control of any institutions are going to willingly give up their power.

It is not as if previous orders were led by people who never had their own will to hold to power. All empires fall and such will be the fate for the progressive woke one. Others before you expressed that same certainty for the permanency of their revolution and found themselves wrong. The woke which is a short hand for leftist/liberal progressive stack supporters are not the first group who thought they would manage to put their boot permanently on others neck. So I wouldn't be so sure about it in your place.

Ah ok, I misunderstood what you were going for. Thanks for explaining.

A lot of these "NG"O's depend on government funding, I suppose you could pull off some DeSantisesque "no funding for Critical Theorists" bill.

Create an equal funding law, every dollar sent to a DEI group has to have one sent to a heteronormative, white identitarian, or men’s rights group.

not balanced enough, every dollar spent on DEI needs to go to an explicitly anti-identitarian heteronormative human rights group

Or radical idea just cut funding to NGOs. Why am I taxed to fund shitty NGOs I hate?

I kinda think my idea would be more effective at actually cutting funding to NGOs...

It's curious how non-governmental organizations seem to be so often funded by governments and directly involved in important questions of governance. Was it always this way? It increasingly feels like we're being governed by non-governmental organizations.

Rather, the government and the NGOs are both tentacles of the same entity.

We aren’t. Which ones do you have in mind?

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!
