Culture War Roundup for the week of September 8, 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.

Which part is inflammatory?

Like how somehow the judges that let all these criminals go are all black women without law degrees? Because apparently you don't need one to serve as a judge in North Carolina? And the one that specifically let this guy free without bail runs a halfway house she pockets taxpayer money with by sending the criminals she releases under her authority as a judge there? How the council of black women that run the city have a history of embezzling COVID funds, and threw a birthday party in the middle of discussing the murder. How this murder occurred on a bus full of black people and not one single person who saw it happen helped her.

Yes it’s so absurd it can hardly be believe can it?

Almost enough to make you seriously question how are society has been structured and why it’s been allowed and even enforced to be this way

Did you search, at all, to see if it was plausible? Did you question your assumptions before questioning the poster? Because I heard about this part two days ago and have been waiting for someone to post a top-level comment. Every single thing he posted has been widely circulated across my network, it matches what I've seen reported, and the reason it is inflammatory is because of the facts of the event, not because it is untrue.

Yes, the black magistrate who released this guy doesn't have a law degree. Yes, she pays herself to run diversionary programs to which she sends criminals (not unlike the cash for kids judge whose sentence was commuted by Biden). Yes, all the immediate bystanders on video were all black and no, none of them lifted a finger to do anything while the white woman bled out in front of them and the black murderer strolled away. Yes, the city council served a birthday cake and had a celebration immediately before talking about this murder.

It's a lot of work to go find good links to prove each and every small claim, especially since this has been well-trod elsewhere, so please do more than say citation needed and walking off like you've improved the conversation.

Is there any reason you think any of this is untrue, or did it trigger a fnord?

P.S. The murderer said, "I got that white girl," twice, immediately afterwards. Go watch the video yourself if you want proof, but I won't be doing that work for you.

I don't have any reason to doubt this user, but this forum's rules should not be blatantly ignored. Don't blame the messenger.

Demanding sources for something that you don't doubt the truth of is a filibuster, not an honest criticism.

Tell that to the moderators who made the rule, not to me.

"All" is undefined, but making a couple assumptions: Charlotte is about evenly black and white, and given the magistrate requirements below, it wouldn't be that surprising if it does end up that many of the judges are black women and, between personal beliefs and local/state policies, are relatively lenient.

Because apparently you don't need one to serve as a judge in North Carolina?

Magistrate requirements:

the individual shall either be a resident of the county for which the magistrate is seeking nomination or renomination or a resident of a county that is contiguous to that county.

To be eligible for nomination as a magistrate, an individual (i) shall have at least eight years' experience as the clerk of superior court in a county of this State or as a law enforcement officer in this State, (ii) shall have a four‑year degree from an accredited senior institution of higher education, or (iii) shall have a two‑year associate degree and four years of work experience in a related field, including teaching, social services, law enforcement, arbitration or mediation, the court system, or counseling

Assuming she was full-time as a magistrate, the pay is in the low $50K range for the length of time she's been in the state.

Back to you-

And the one that specifically let this guy free without bail runs a halfway house she pockets taxpayer money with by sending the criminals she releases under her authority as a judge there?

This one is less clear. Reporting suggests that she's listed as a director of operations for a Charlotte nonprofit that Brown may have been referred to, but the org has gone quiet and the site is down.

There's some fishy tax filings about a nonprofit she ran in Michigan, but doesn't relate directly to this case.

threw a birthday party in the middle of discussing the murder

They took a supposedly 10 minute break from a four hour meeting to have birthday cake and mingle.

This one is less clear. Reporting suggests that she's listed as a director of operations for a Charlotte nonprofit that Brown may have been referred to, but the org has gone quiet and the site is down.

Whether this particular person paid her via the nonprofit is less important than the fact that she let him go, and also profits from these "diversions."

They took a supposedly 10 minute break from a four hour meeting to have birthday cake and mingle.

They threw a birthday party and served cake, immediately before discussing the murder of a woman on the train, where they tried to downplay the event.

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!
