Cultural difference. They're descended from rationalists, so if it's drama or discussion from that place/ lesswrong/ on of the blogs in the periphery, it's relevant. It's not like anybody enforces or agrees on any of this though, so not really important
so if I make a long well thought post on anything that is effortposters, but if it is a long post about a political-cultural topic then it is mottezans?

I think effort-posts about the culture war are marginal. Referencing the big names would definitely count. You could cheat by just making one subargument via reference to a scott article lol

Yes, but he was the father of the community. He's somewhat similar to b*rdfinn here. He doesn't come up literally every sentence, but bardfinn lore is canon and you're supposed to know it. If you make a bike chain joke, you can be reasonably sure that 99% of users will know what you mean.
You are supposed to understand what a grey tribe is, what "cthulu always swims left" means, know what they mean by moloch, barber pole theory, conflict/mistake theory. He is like the cosmic background radiation of that place. His adventures in haiti are also always referenced when they feel racist, it's their "but I had breakfast this morning" equivalent

pretty sure scott articles were not the bread and butter of the motte. They were far more culture war oriented if memory serves right.

I know none of those. Could you tell me where to look to learn about all of this stuff?
Would you agree that Roko's Basilisk was an r-slured thought experiment and whoever believed in it was the equivalent of a lobotomized cult follower?
