Culture War Roundup for the week of May 26, 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.

What exactly are you looking for here?

Do you just want people to tell you that it's hopeless? Very well then. It is hopeless. I agree that you should give up hope. Do with this what you will.

If this is a prelude to arguing for certain policy proposals, then it would be more interesting if you made the case for those policies directly, instead of gesturing angrily at the stats and insisting that something (what, exactly?) must be done.

Stack guns and ammo, get multiple passports and generally prepare for the strife that inevitably comes from cultures rife with men that have nothing to lose.

There is nothing else to do because any solution would undermine the status quo too much.

I see this online a lot lately: supposedly all these "tfw no girlfriend" guys are going to rise up. "You are in danger!"

No. These guys are, frankly ,not the warfighting kind. They'll jack off to porn and seethe and imagine burning it all down (and you'll get the occasional Elliott Rodgers) but there's no movement of dateless men ready to "do something" and even a more political Andrew Tate probably couldn't move them to that kind of action.

You misunderstand. There is not going to be the prophetized "beta uprising" where wizards use their magical powers to enslave normies, that's not how things work.

Society is just slowly going to become lower and lower trust until it becomes an incomprehensible mess and collapses under its own weight. Incels are not going to do something, they're going to do nothing. And your society needs a whole load of something to work.

Tate is a good symptom of this actually. Note that he does not advocate people engage in pro-social behavior and become pillars of their community, only in looting. Get your own, pump and dump, get the lambo, evade taxes, scam others. Because if society is not willing to offer a fair deal, that's all that's left.

There's no talk of marrying and having children and buying a house and paying into your retirement fund here.

You will see violence. But that's because decay and lawlessness invite it. "These guys" are not going to go out and harm people for the most part, but they won't stop those that would.

I see. That's a more depressing prediction, though perhaps more realistic.

I don't see dateless men being a significant factor in that, though. I don't actually believe incels are a factor at all, other than online.

All the men who maintain your civilization are human beings with emotional needs you know. Large proportions of them having no stake in the future is going to have some consequences. Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter.

There's a reason the people of the past thought so well of marriage that they literally made it sacred. We're just going to painfully relearn why.

The large proportion of men whom I am concerned about not having a stake in our civilization are mostly not incels.

If so I think either you have no sense of the numbers for celibacy now, or you're just refusing to believe them. Might want to read those articles linked upthread. It's getting bad. Real bad.

If it is indeed hopeless, than we can at long last dispense with the concept of building anything for the future. Loot what you can, while you can.

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!
