Culture War Roundup for the week of June 1, 2026

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.

staff are trained to always take the side of racial minority complainants

The opposite of stupidity is not intelligence.

Paper bag testing people and blindly siding with white suspects is dumb. This, doing the opposite, is just as dumb.

He was stabbed and bleeding out on the ground... His murderer was standing over him with a dagger.

blindly siding with white suspects is dumb

How about siding with the person bleeding out? How about giving medical attention to the person bleeding out?

How can you honestly hold your opinion?

My opinion is a good one and I easily hold it. I also want cops to give medical attention to stab victims. I never said otherwise.

Or, as the Rightful Caliph put it,

A car with a broken engine cannot drive backward at 200 mph, even if the engine is really really broken.

"Reversed Stupidity Is Not Intelligence", December 2007

Yes, this was a bad call from the police in a case where the murderer and his family deliberately set it up to mislead the police and now we're blaming minorities because some individual police officers got misled. Regardless we know that he had been fatally stabbed by the time the police arrived and he was a goner regardless even if the police had done the correct thing.

This is an example of a criminal killing off an ordinary member of society without any real justification and then lying about it in the most convenient way possible (which criminals are wont to do). The murderer has been punished as he should have been. It's a very shitty situation and terrible for the family but it's not some big "race war now" as far right grifters have been trying to make it out to be online.

At most this is a "routine" case of murder with police mishandling that should be investigated (btw, we can't even be sure whether there was mishandling at this stage, the police made a bad judgment call but there's no rule that works for 100% of situations, we have to wait for the official report)

Regardless we know that he had been fatally stabbed by the time the police arrived and he was a goner regardless even if the police had done the correct thing.

He was only two minutes by ambulance to the nearest hospital. I saw a doctor argue on twitter that his primary source of bleeding out was the subclavian vein, which often clots itself, and that given that he was able to forcefully talk when the police arrived (indicating a certain level of aliveness and blood pressure), but died almost immediately after being handcuffed, that the physical manipulation of the handcuffing itself might have dislodged the clotting that was keeping the bleeding under control and absolutely contributed to his death. That doctor made her statements based on the court reports, not an actual review of the autopsy which has not been released.

I don't think they should charge these cops with murder but I think they should be named and fired for appalling judgment.

Beside the polish doctor pediatrician saying Nowak may have survived his wounds if treated differently, the coroner has now called for an inquest..

Edit: inquiry to begin in front of a jury on Sept 20, 2027. Why is this delayed for so long in the face of massive public interest? Can't wait until authorities start with their 'wait until the inquiry has been completed' suppression tactics.

From a purely practical standpoint, while not ideal, that rubric would get much better results than the current one.

Those are the only two options now. That's the society we made. “The question is, which is to be master—that’s all.”

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!
