Motte & Bailey Probe & Retreat (Power and Weakness) Confrontation and Maneuvering Strategies for the Post-Truth Era

Reflexivity Lives in the Bailey.  The Bailey is a Reflexive Environment Occupied by "The Current Thing".
The Motte is a Smaller in Area but Defensibly taller in Height, and therefore Sovereign, Center of Power Overlooking the Bailey, upon which Motte Occupants can Sally Forth onto the Bailey (Internet) for Offensive Operations.
Meanwhile, James Lindsay Plays the Foucaultdian Conservative Power Dynamic Game from within his Pro-Israel Motte (YouTube Channel) and Complains when other Conservative Motte Owners and Occupants Coordinate their Attacks with Overlapping Fields of Fire onto the Inner Bailey of MAGA Conservatism
A Battle for the Inner MAGA Courtyard/ Bailey of Conservatism

There Can Only be ONE Right Opinion in the Bailey! e pluribus unum!  And only one Motte to retreat into! Tucker, tear down your Motte  And from now on, no More Talkin in the Bailey!

Conservatism is Hierarchical and Arboreal, NOT Rhizomatic or Schizoid! Oedipus was once our king, so no more Deleuzian Anti-Oedipus talk from Argos!  Conservatism is One, not Many!

Adrastus May Have Sent Seven Against Thebes, But Our Lindsayean Eteocles  Can send only One Against the Seven!
