How to Stop a Cultural Revolution | James Lindsay Dec 15, 2023

Show notes

With Liberty & Justice For All, Session 3 of 3 Leftism has a battle logic: dialectical political warfare. They have used it in the past and are using it now to launch a cultural revolution against the West. The question before us, since we find ourselves in the midst of one, is once one has started, is it possible to stop a cultural revolution, and if so, how? This is, in fact, the most pressing and important question in the world. In this lecture, Dr. James Lindsay of New Discourses begins to provide an answer. We can learn their battle logic and beat them, not by fighting the dialectic with the dialectic but by positioning our political counter-warfare so that it outmaneuvers the dialectic itself. By understanding how they’re attacking us, what their targets and operational goals are, and how to counter some of their most basic tactics, we can easily mount a counter-offensive that beats their game without falling into the traps laid for us along the way. Join Dr. Lindsay for a crash course in how to stop a cultural revolution!

Understanding Settler Colonialism Dec 12, 2023

Show notes

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 74 Recent events in the Middle East, namely between Israel and "Palestine," have thrust the Postcolonial Theory branch of Woke Marxism into stark and stunning relief in a very short time. The world is quickly learning that "decolonization" is always meant to be violent, and the Islamist jihad against Israel is a project supported by the whole of the global Left, including especially the Woke Marxist Left throughout the West. People are horrified, rightly, but what's needed is clarity. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains the Woke mindset on settler-colonialism and tries to help make sense of what appears to be violent Woke madness once again.

Critical Education Is Brainwashing Dec 06, 2023

Show notes

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 73 Critical Pedagogy is brainwashing. This isn't rhetorical flourish or poetic license. The entire school of thought called Critical Pedagogy, which is wholly dominant in all our schools of education and educational institutions now, is brainwashing. It's easy to see this by considering the words of people who use and promote Critical Pedagogy itself. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay takes you through three such people to make an irrefutable case that Critical Pedagogy really is nothing other than Woke brainwashing.

Medical Lysenkoism in the American Medical Association Dec 04, 2023

Show notes

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 131 Medical Lysenkoism is the application of ideological, specifically Communist, doctrine to medicine, and it will kill tens of millions, maybe more, if it continues being put into practice. We say "continues being put into practice" here because, unfortunately, it isn't just hypothetical; it's well underway. In fact, not only are all the obvious manifestations of Medical Lysenkoism apparent, but also the American Medical Association (among others) have taken up an explicit commitment to Medical Lysenkoism under the brand name "health equity." In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay walks you through a recent publication of the American Medical Association (https://www.ama-assn.org/about/leadership/ama-s-strategic-plan-embed-racial-justice-and-advance-health-equity ) that outlines and explains their plan to embed "racial justice and health equity" as far into the medical profession as they can in the narrow window of opportunity they have while people will still tolerate it. Join him to learn about the looming catastrophe in medicine and to start taking action to reverse its course.

The Current Thing Did Not Take Place Nov 27, 2023

Show notes

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 130 The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution. The issue is never the issue; the issue is always the revolution. This is a core maxim of Marxist activist thought, and it explains so much. In the early 1990s, the French Postmodernist philosopher Jean Beaudrillard put it another way, though, in a sense. He provocatively published a book with the title The Gulf War Did Not Take Place (https://amzn.to/3QHprG9). What Baudrillard meant is that the Gulf War was an event that happened in the Persian Gulf, but what we call the "Gulf War" was a propaganda and media creation by Western intelligence communities and mass media to achieve specific political warfare aims with the public. In that sense, just like how the issue, whether Covid, BLM, Drag Queen Story Hour, Ukraine, "Palestine," or whatever else, is never the issue; each of those Current Things did not take place, in the Baudrillardian sense. In this provocative episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay explains the maxim and Baudrillard's point and uses them to reveal Leftist tactics as well as political warfare strategies and counters.

Degrowth Distributism and the Well-Being Economy Nov 20, 2023

Show notes

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 129 Degrowth is a death cult. Degrowth means starving while you freeze to death in the dark. That said, Degrowth Communism is something more. Specifically, it's something that should be called "Degrowth Distributism," and it's the overarching plan of the United Nations, World Economic Forum, World Health Organization, and the rest operating under the brand name of the "well-being economy." In this long and detailed episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes apart the Marxist manipulations of the key words, "scarcity," "wealth," and "abundance," necessary to lure the world into this devious trap. By tracing the seventh chapter of Kohei Saito's recent book Marx in the Anthropocene: Towards the Idea of Degrowth Communism (https://amzn.to/47x5nwL), he's able to unlock the mystery of the what, why, and how for the destination point of this global Communist revolution and explain its fascistic corporate subsidiary structure in unprecedented clarity.

Class Identity And Gnostic Election Nov 16, 2023

Show notes

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 72 Woke Theory, which is to say Woke Gnosticism, requires identification with the class. Marxist socialists must identify with the workers as a class; feminists must identify with women as a class; antiracists must identify with people of color as a class; and so on. This is because they're Social Gnostics. Not only must they identify with their class, then; they do so willingly and as the "true" representatives of that class. This is not only a persistent and important feature of Social Gnosticism to understand; it is also indicative proof of their Gnosticism. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down this feature of Social Gnosticism (Woke) and helps you demystify some of their most important, confusing, manipulative, and perplexing tricks. Join him to learn how to handle it.

How To Organize To Beat The Left Nov 13, 2023

Show notes

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 71 It's time to start winning. That requires knowing our enemy, which we're doing pretty well with, getting organized, and enacting a strategy to consolidate power for the Cause of Liberty to save our schools, towns, states, and nations. The strategy is actually pretty simple, though, and it's organizing to create a positive feedback loop between recruiting numbers, identifying and achieving specific objectives, and building and channeling momentum (including into fundraising). This is less hard than it sounds, even in deeply embattled areas. The strategy is simple: get some numbers and recruit around the idea of getting enough numbers to take over some small local thing, ideally within the Republican Party, to get it under your control. Make sure it's an achievable goal, then drive to achieve it. When you achieve it, turn the victory into momentum to go after the next target. Recruit on the success and to the need of achieving the next goals. Then just keep repeating! In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down this community organizing 101 for conservatives. Join him and get back on the field to start taking back ground!

The Fraud Of Diversity And Inclusion Nov 03, 2023

Show notes

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 70 "Diversity" and "Inclusion" don't mean what they sound like they mean. People are catching on to this all around the world, but we need to go deeper. It's necessary not just to know something is wrong with these ideas and their implementation but also to know how and why they're wrong. Ultimately, this means grasping the Left's Woke Marxist mindset, namely the idea of cultural hegemony. You see, "Diverse" means "outside of the culturally hegemonic viewpoint," and "Inclusion" means "including and protecting counter-hegemonic perspectives and the people who promote them." Understanding that the Left always thinks in terms of the evil spirits they call "systemic power" is necessary to understand all of their terms, especially these two for practical reasons.

The Hard Truth About Struggle Sessions Oct 27, 2023

Show notes

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 69 Struggle session season isn't over. Even though we're starting to understand what they are and how to deal with them, they're still coming, sometimes with very high stakes. The point of a struggle session, ultimately, is to get you to confess to made-up crimes on contrived terms that you and others will adopt as a result of confessing. The hard truth of the struggle session is that there's no coming back from capitulating to one. People can understand the pressures and the evil of the dynamic, but you still show yourself and those in your corner that under pressure you are faithless. Meanwhile, bystanders accept your confession as proof of your guilt, which not only places you in the category of criminal in their minds but also justifies the contrived terms upon which you were accused. Finally, your tormenter who is struggling you just knows they can break you, so they'll continue to do so, mocking you that your confession wasn't sincere enough. It's losing all the way around. It's bargaining away part of your soul for reprieve that you won't really get. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this hard truth of the struggle session and encourages you to stand up against them and to stand alongside people being put through them. Join him to understand and to strengthen your will.
