🧩 BND Motif Index · M710
Dual loyalty
A citizen with ties to another country, by faith, ancestry or birth, is said to serve that country over their own: an old charge, aimed at Jews over Israel, before that at Catholics over the Pope, Japanese Americans in the war, Chinese Americans today.

⚠️ A story people tell, not a claim that it's true.
A motif is the shape of a story as its tellers tell it, named the way a folklorist names a tale type, so the same story told about other people, by the other side or in another year lands in the same place. Some of the claims below are true, many are false. Arguing against a story is often a story of its own, its answer (Voter fraud is answered by Voter suppression, Lawfare by No one is above the law), and we file it there; where no answer has a motif yet, the arguments against a story sit with its tellings.
