I had a dream where a conservative political group in a swing state made a very friendly and lefty coded propaganda piece seeming as if it's coming from the left, complaining about all of the terrible and unwoke policies of the current state government, arguing they were so bad it wasn't worth trying to fix, and concluding "it's time to move back to LA". Basically trying to psy-op the recent wave of California migrants they were afraid of into going away so they don't shift the state blue. I thought it was an interesting idea that I've never thought of before while awake but apparently was lingering in my subconscious.

This reminds me of that one time the Bavarian independence party had to run in all of Germany for EU parliament elections, and they decided to run a campaign based on "don't you want to be rid of those damn Bavarians at last" in the parts of Germany that are not Bavaria.

I wonder if Catalonian succession could succeed if they adopted that approach. Just deprecate yourself enough to inspire the wish of your countrymen to expel you.

Unsure if intentional, but it worked for Singapore.

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!
