Culture War Roundup for the week of April 10, 2023

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.

Dunno if you see Tsarist Russian army as "functional", but homosexual rape in this pure Christian institution was common. Russia of today is indeed retvrning to tradition.

In the first days of my command of this battalion, I found a picant incident in one of the companies, which had a particular coleur locale; in this company, an aboriginal unter-officer, held by the unnatural vice [remember, historically homosexuality was still seen as a devil's sin], raped young soldiers from his platoon. The regiment commander reported it to me orally, for some reason avoiding an official report, and told me that such sins were happening earlier in the regiment. To myself, uncommon to such caucasian traditions, this event seemed a great crime. Conducting a personal investigation and having uncovered all as it was, I personally reported to my superiors, asking for the unter to be court-martialled.

The following events saddened me even more than the fact of a platoon being turned into a harem for it's commander. A Grand Duke (Velikiy Knyaz) arrived at White Springs (Beliy Kliuch) for a common inspection. After the inspection I receive a note to arrive before his highness for discussing matters of service. In the company of the regiment commander, colonel Sulikovsky, he starts a speech:

  • Why, colonel, do you report about this unter-officer story? It's inconvenient to start a fuss when the 200-jubilee is closing in. Take your report back. It seems such stories are alien to you; we, however, are already accustomed to them. Do you know that last year in my division not just an unter, but a commander of the Tiflis regiment, colonel Popov, was caught with the same crime: he raped the messengers and ordinares sent to him every day on duty. I was pretty much ready to forgive him those little excesses - he was a brave commander. But this history was made public. I had to fire him from the army. But you know what Kuropatkin told me in Petersburg? He said you're losing a good commander in vain; this little mischief is of no importance, which he was caught in. In Turkestan during the conquest, many, many have been doing this - "holding boys". And what would they do without women? But we must wage war. And "without a woman a man is like a machine without steam".

Of course, after that the deal with the unter-officer ended with nothing. I just transferred him to another company.

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!
