Small-Scale Question Sunday for July 5, 2026

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Race+gender+class+sexual orientation gets you most of the way there.

So if I am a demi-quasi-three-spirit-furro-gnostic-quiddich-alloromantic-onmisexual (a sexual orientation that belongs to me and me alone), I should have exactly the same power as 7 billion or so straight people? I never knew I deserve so much power!

Given that progressives continually make efforts to allow the 72 IQ drug addled rapists what they want,

Nah, they don't even ask those what they want (not if they did they could have gotten any coherent answer anyway). They instead let them roam free and hurt other people if they like to, and then claim power for themselves in their name. Excluding Hunter, there aren't too many drug addicted derelicts in the corridors of power, at least not the open ones (and even Hunter mostly had the power as his dad's proxy). The progressives rule in their name. If you think that billions of dollars allocated for "homeless support NGOs" actually are distributed to the homeless, or the homeless have any say whatsoever in where and how much of that money is going, man I have news for you.

My point is that the progressive system makes it a moral imperative to do so specifically in the direction of lower power groups taking down those with more power.

Again, close but wrong. The direction is progressive-aligned groups taking power from groups that are not progressive-aligned. It absolutely does not matter who had more or less power before. Did you see some progressive complain about women underrepresented in academia? Sure you did. Did you know that women are actually getting significantly more academic degrees than men, and it's not even close? Now, did you ever hear any progressive complain about that or do anything to fix it? Of course not. Because the direction is not towards equality, but towards more power to progressives. If it turns out that certain minority demographic tends to predominantly hold conservative views - the progressives instantly lose any interest in this group being represented or holding any power.

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!
