The Queer Gnostic Cult Apr 03, 2023

Show notes

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 113 Queer Theory is the doctrine of a cult. Strange as this gender ideology may seem, perverse as it is, it can only be understood in terms of the esoteric cult religious structures called Gnosticism and Hermeticism. That is, Queer Theory is Queer Gnosticism, and the Queer Gnostic cult is consuming our society. Building upon his recent discussion of Gnosticism in the Modern West (https://newdiscourses.com/2023/02/gnosticism-in-the-modern-west), host James Lindsay exposes Queer Theory for what it actually is in this groundbreaking episode of the New Discourses Podcast. This discussion will not only lay Queer Theory bare for the social-spiritual cult belief system that it is, but it will also make sense of the destructive phenomena like sexual graphic novels in our school libraries, Drag Queen Story Hour, and the relentless push for queer and trans everything into all aspects of our culture. Join him to understand our danger.

Mao, Criticism, And Unity Mar 30, 2023

Show notes

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 43 Mao Zedong wanted to thought-reform, that is, brainwash, the whole Chinese population, and he had a formula (https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/mao/selected-works/volume-5/mswv5_58.htm) for doing it: "Unity - Criticism - Unity." That is, he sought to induce in people a "desire for unity" so they would join his socialistic cult, and then once that desire was strong enough, criticism and struggle sessions (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/12/surviving-a-modern-struggle-session) would begin to cement adherence. Finally, through criticism, struggle, and study, unity with the socialist cult would be achieved. This model of cult programming might sound remote, but it isn't. It's the backbone of what we all experience in the American Cultural Revolution (https://newdiscourses.com/2023/02/woke-mao-and-the-american-cultural-revolution) in DEI, ESG, SDG, and unconscious bias training at work and SEL at school. We're told we want to make "safe" places where "everyone feels like they belong," which initiates the "desire for unity" under the banner of "Belonging." Then there are criticisms and struggles until there's solidarity with the Woke worldview, causes, and people pushing it.

The Marxist Roots of DEI - Session 3: Inclusion | James Lindsay Mar 27, 2023

Show notes

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives have taken over the country, reaching into every aspect of our work, school, and lives. What is "DEI," though? New Discourses founder James Lindsay explains the idea and its history in unprecedented depth in this new series from an in-person workshop in Miami, Florida, breaking down each of the three letters in detail. What we'll find is that it's a contemporary and managerial repackaging of socialism. In this third and final episode in the series, Lindsay explains that "Inclusion" is an overarching value structure for the "Diverse and Equitable" commissar system that's being installed. In fact, it's a justification not for inclusion as most people understand it, but for censorship and purges, just like in any Communist state. Inclusion, and its extension in "Belonging," are a manipulative strategy akin to Mao Zedong's "unity, criticism, unity" formula for taking over not just institutions but the value structure of populations and bending them toward socialism (or, in this case, equity). Join James Lindsay as he breaks down "Inclusion" and makes it clear that it's exactly the opposite of what it sells itself to be.

DARVO Mar 23, 2023

Show notes

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 42 There's an abusive tactic commonly used by abusers, both intentionally and unintentionally, that goes by the name "DARVO." DARVO is an acronym that means "Deny, Attack, Reverse the roles of Victim and Offender," and it is very common with narcissists, psychopaths, and borderline personalities. A huge amount of Woke Marxist activism and Theory is DARVO, hence the solidity of the "Iron Law of Woke Projection." In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains DARVO and its relevance to Woke Marxism. Join him to learn to stop being abused by it.

The Marxist Roots of DEI - Session 2: Diversity | James Lindsay Mar 20, 2023

Show notes

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives have taken over the country, reaching into every aspect of our work, school, and lives. What is "DEI," though? New Discourses founder James Lindsay explains the idea and its history in unprecedented depth in this new series from an in-person workshop in Miami, Florida, breaking down each of the three letters in detail. What we'll find is that it's a contemporary and managerial repackaging of socialism. In this second episode of the series, following from his discussion of equity as (expanded) socialism, Lindsay articulates that "Diversity" initiatives are rooted in the goal of installing ideologically consistent political officers within organizations to effect and enforce policies directed toward achieving equity. These political officers, often called "Diversity Officers," are in fact a rebranding of the older concept of commissars, who enforced socialism in the same way. Understanding Diversity in this regard is relatively easy, but how did we get here in America? The answer is bad judicial interpretation of Civil Rights laws that center "disparate impact" rather than intention as evidence of discrimination. Join James Lindsay as he walks you through the history and philosophy of the Diversity scam.

Mid-Level Violence Mar 16, 2023

Show notes

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 41 A key tactic in the Woke Marxist activism toolbox is an unconventional warfare technique known as "mid-level violence," or, in other words, strategic provocation. In this strategy, agitators will engage in behavior that, if accepted, moves one of their mass-line agendas along or that, if resisted, provokes a reaction that can be framed as an unjust overreaction ("wound collecting" or "crybullying"). They are masters at this. In fact, it's Antifa's bread-and-butter tactic, and its goal is always to put its target into a dilemma of giving in and demoralizing (https://newdiscourses.com/2023/02/demoralization) themselves or reacting and thus being portrayed as having overreacted (https://newdiscourses.com/2023/02/action-reaction-and-beautiful-trouble). Join host James Lindsay in this episode of New Discourses Bullets as he explains how this malicious tactic works.

The Marxist Roots of DEI - Session 1: Equity | James Lindsay Mar 13, 2023

Show notes

Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion initiatives have taken over the country, reaching into every aspect of our work, school, and lives. What is "DEI," though? New Discourses founder James Lindsay explains the idea and its history in unprecedented depth in this new series from an in-person workshop in Miami, Florida, breaking down each of the three letters in detail. What we'll find is that it's a contemporary and managerial repackaging of socialism. In this first episode of the series, Lindsay dives into the concept at the center of DEI: Equity. It is not possible to understand DEI initiatives without realizing that equity is what drives them. Equity is the goal of all DEI programs, which is to say that DEI programs exist to force captive audiences of people to achieve "equitable" redistribution of resources, status, and wealth according to neo-Marxist Identity Theories like Critical Race Theory. Equity is an administered political economy in which shares are adjusted so that citizens are made equal, including shares of social and cultural capital. In other words, it's an expansion of socialism. Once we understand what equity is about, the purposes of "Diversity" and "Inclusion" initiatives become clear. Join James Lindsay as he walks you through the roots and true meaning of "Equity."

Fighting DEI Training Mar 09, 2023

Show notes

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 40 So your job is making you take a Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) training, an "unconscious bias" training, or maybe a "Sustainability," ESG, or SDG (Sustainable Development Goals) meeting. In other words, your job is forcing some kind of Neo-Communist brainwashing on you. What should you do? At this point, while laying low is understandable, many people realize they need to fight back. How can they, though? In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay offers four strategies you can use to push back against ideological brainwashing "training" sessions. Join him to learn what you can do.

Lies, Damned Lies, and SEL Mar 06, 2023

Show notes

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 112 Like virtually everything in Woke Marxism, Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is sold through lies and deception. The packaging is always pretty. What's in the box is always a catastrophe. While this rule is consistent across everything Woke, it reaches something of a staggering peak where it comes to SEL. "It's just about teaching kids to manage their emotions and develop the social skills necessary to succeed in the workplace of the future and to get along with people in a diverse world." No, it isn't. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay goes through a recent low-quality article (https://iowastartingline.com/2023/02/13/explainer-what-sel-really-is-and-why-this-senator-wants-to-ban-it) defending Social-Emotional Learning in Iowa after state Senator Sandy Salmon introduced a bill to ban it from the state Department of Education. His purpose is to expose the lies and damned lies constantly used to defend and promote SEL in a real-world example. Join him to see how much these activists leave out of their deceptive sales pitches.

The SEL Cycle Mar 01, 2023

Show notes

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 39 Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is a dangerous scam being forced into our education system at every level and in every possible way. How are they doing it, though? Among the techniques they're using to ram SEL deeper and deeper into school districts against all sense and without real evidence is what might be called the "SEL Cycle." What happens in this fraudulent circular approach is that SEL is used as a justification to gather survey data from students in their schools. That survey data is then massaged and interpreted through equity, inclusion, and sustainability lenses to identify shortcomings in what's happening in the schools according to those ideological interpretations. Those "shortcomings" are then leveraged to demand more SEL, more DEI training, and more Woke Marxism. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down the way this fraudulent scam operates so that we can put a stop to it.
