🧩 BND Motif Index · M650
Some of you may die
Someone expects others to bear the sacrifice for something that benefits them: a leader calls for hardship he won't share, or one group keeps what it has while another pays. Named after Shrek's Lord Farquaad: "Some of you may die, but that is a sacrifice I am willing to make."

⚠️ 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.
