But inasmuch as it has an agenda, that agenda is simply to poke fun at you. I emphasize this, because people will be tempted, any time they skewer an ideology, to attribute it to their usual opponents: generally โ€œthe alt-rightโ€, in the case of leftists, โ€œSJWsโ€ for the right. Donโ€™t fall into that trap. Theyโ€™re below all that

lol

Honestly pretty good article, fortunately it's nuanced enough that no one will read it and we can continue baiting r-slurs

Yeah this will not be a hit in Twitter because it criticizes Both Sides

I would argue we're above all that, but otherwise I agree it was pretty good.

That about sums up, I think, why bait like this is so successful right now. People want these stories to be true. The culture war is heating up, and people on all sides desperately want to believe their enemies really are as bad as the worst caricatures of them.

Well said. The linked medium article is pretty good and shows a decent familiarity with the culture here. Wonder what the OP's username is..

Kinda disappointed we only made it to Vice and Business Insider. True success will only be achieved if we make it to Tucker

That's not very centrist of you. I want BOTH Tucker/Fox News and Don Lemon/CNN.

Well it's a Motteposter, and there's a bunch of them on r/Drama. On here, ArachnoLibrarian seems like the most obvious one, but others might be lurking too, or I just didn't notice them.

Actually I'm wrong, u/TracingWoodgrains is the writer and a TheMotte mod, and I don't believe he was ever a dramaposter.

Interesting stuff, thanks!

TracingWoodgrains is a good person but the opposite of a dramaposter, he made r/TheSchism because he couldn't tolerate certain kinds of wrongthink on r/themotte.

I feel very out of the loop.

What is a Motteposter? I feel like this is ubiquitous among dramatards and I've somehow missed it. I looked on the sub AnarchoLibrarian linked and it's just words words words and seriousposting.

Libertarian/"rationalist"/slate star codex (some tech dudes philosophy blog?) general discussion forum. Mucho texto

The Motte is a name of a sub. It's populated by "rationalists". It's a strange sphere mostly popularized by Scott Alexander who runs Slate Star Codex. Their whole shtick is trying to do rational analysis, with data when possible, try to drop emotions and partisanship. They're not homogenous when it comes to ideology but most of them could vaguely fit into some kind of libertarian/free market liberal umbrella, though I believe you'll find some progressive centrists and even white nationalists in there.

I appreciate their way of thinking and analyzing, but they're too influenced by technocratic west coast libertarianism in my opinion.

Even without timestamp it's obvious. It's about as subtle as the baitsubs were.

Holy shit, Sam Altman/YC has produced so many billionaires, it's mind-boggling. @Aevann, contact YCombinator RIGHT THE FRICK NOW that your work is featured on their site. You might have just won the lottery. Dead serious: these very people will make you extremely wealthy if you pitch Marseynet as a startup.
