      I just want to remind all that when you create an “autonomous zone,” you don’t get to demand a long list of supplies from the orderly capitalist society that you are rebelling against. Kind of defeats the meaning of “autonomous.” #SeattleAutonomousZone pic.twitter.com/XhK9I3BwoO

      Dan in there yet again not knowing a damn thing about anything, this time with what the words "autonomous" and "autarky" mean.

      Words like "autonomous" are just natural ground for motte-and-bailey arguments.

      I don't get the reference. What do fortifications have to do with it?

      It's something a philosopher came up with a long ago, basically a way to describe arguing or using terminology in bad faith

      Switching between two different definitions of terms or framing of rhetoric depending on what's useful to you Like how a fortified town has a wider, more expansive footprint (the actual town, the "bailey") and a central tower you retreat to when under attack (the "motte")

      When you're actually out doing your thing rallying people to your cause you're in the bailey, but whenever you actually come under serious attack you retreat to the much smaller, more cramped but far more defensible motte

      So, e.g., the line that alternative medicine practitioners love, "The terrain makes the disease, not the germ" The motte is this very narrow definition of what that means -- "A germ's presence by itself can't define the progression of a disease, your overall health matters"

          Everyone agrees with that, it's obviously true, but also no one cares because it doesn't have any obvious implications other than that yes, people should stay healthy beyond just killing germs

          But the bailey is the actually serious beliefs they base their actual activism on Vaccines and antibiotics being dangerous and ineffective and unnecessary Being able to keep yourself from COVID-19 purely through exercise and vitamin supplements and meditation
