The Three Pillars of Civilization
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 131
What is civilization? What is it based on? In the biggest picture, there are three fundamental pillars to civilization: truth, justice, and love. (You'll notice how Biblical this is.) Truth allows us to make real, meaningful strides, and reality will punish us if we fail to keep to it. Justice is necessary to keep people functioning together and working for their society and the American Dream. But these must also be pursued with an orientation toward love, not enmity, if we are to foster a civilization instead of a tribalistic warzone. Join host James Lindsay for this important episode of New Discourses Bullets where he lays out these three crucial pillars of civilization.

We Must Win By the Book
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 130
The hard part of building and protecting civilization is that we have to do it while maintaining the values and principles of civilization. That means while the enemies of civilization can run amok and break rules, norms, policies, laws, and expectations, we cannot. We have to do everything by the book. It's not just that we need to on a matter of principle, though. We also must as a matter of strategy. In a two-tiered system like the Woke Left has set up for itself, it gets to excuse itself for breaking the rules, but we will not have that luxury. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down the need for us to win by the book so we can preserve the book. Join him to learn how to fight for things worth fighting for.

Real Communism Can Never Be Tried
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 129
We've all heard it before: "real Communism has never been tried!" Yeah, yeah. Well, here's the thing. "Real Communism" can never be tried, so this old canard isn't saying anything interesting at all. The reason is that "real Communism" is the utopian end state of Communism as an eschatological (end-times) religion. It never actually arrives. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks this simple fact down and reveals the same exact thing is also believed about "real Fascism." You won't want to miss it.

What Freedom of Speech Is and Isn't
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 128
Freedom of speech is a concept a lot of people appreciate but also struggle with. It can be challenging for people to distinguish between threats to their freedom of speech, cancellation, censorship, and, on the other hand, more speech being the answer to speech. Drawing from one of his oldest popular writings (https://newdiscourses.com/2020/01/freedom-of-speech-fallacy-demanding-heard/), host James Lindsay addresses the issue of freedom of speech in principle in this new episode of New Discourses Bullets. He breaks down the four component freedoms in freedom of speech: to speak, to hear, not to speak, and not to hear. He also distinguishes these from certain things that are not part of freedom of speech, including unprotected speech and a small variety of entitlement complexes that hide behind accusations of censorship. Join him to get clearer on this important issue.

Is Woke Real, or Is It a Psyop?
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 127
One of the more difficult experiences we all face today is how hard it is to tell when something blows up on the internet whether it's "real" or a "psyop" (part of an active measure with a political warfare purpose). Well, the answer is typically "yes" between these two choices. That is, it's frequently both. Using a process that would best be called "reflexive becoming," a psyops can be turned into a flashpoint issue in the culture war, a movement, or even an insurrection. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down the idea so that we're better equipped for life in our agitprop battlefield. Join him to prepare yourself.

The American Idea
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 125
Is America just an idea? No, it isn't, but America is based on an idea. That idea is simple: free men and women can govern themselves by taking personal responsibility, and organizing the political structure this way will produce both liberty and prosperity. No other nation in the history of the world has been explicitly based on an idea in this way, and the results have been tremendous. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay reminds every American of the idea his country was based on and calls them back to it. Join him to be inspired and have your faith in America restored!

What Is the Mass Line?
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 124
Mao Zedong developed one of the most devastating dialectical techniques for mass mobilization ever conceived: the mass line. The idea with the mass line is that it is drawn from the masses, repackaged into a campaign for Communist Party goals, and then fed back to the masses to mobilize them to accomplish those goals, often including ruthless purges. For students of the New Discourses material, this pattern will seem familiar, both in terms of George Soros's (https://newdiscourses.com/2024/04/the-reflexive-alchemy-of-george-soros/) dialectic of "reflexivity" (https://newdiscourses.com/2024/06/reflexivity-leftism-in-the-21st-century/) and Paulo Freire's (https://amzn.to/4fkVck7) disastrous "generative themes" (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/05/paulo-freires-schools-new-discourses-bullets-ep-7/) method of education (which Freire (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/10/paulo-freires-critical-method-of-education/) openly admits he got from Mao). In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains the mass line and its relationship to these other ideas. You don't want to miss it.

Woke as Warring Narratives
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 123
The world of Woke doesn't believe in truth, not at all. It is a world in which truth may or may not exist but is, assuredly, inaccessible. In place of actual truth, Woke thinking believes there are narratives which are regarded as true because powerful groups have the capacity to make people believe in them as truths. Thus, a Woke perspective is that information is "narratives all the way down," resulting in a kind of unresolvable, subjectivist conflict and power struggle over everything. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay reads briefly from "The Book of Woke" (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/04/the-book-of-woke-introducing-critical-constructivism/) in order to help you understand this bizarre and dangerous (ultimately relativist) foundational perspective of Wokeness. Join him to see how they think and why it's so insane.

The Two Goals of Marxist Activism
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 122
Everyone who knows anything about Marxism knows that it seeks to "seize the means of production" and institute a socialist tyranny through a violent revolution against the producers and consumers of society. What many people don't know is that Marx didn't just outline a single "win condition" for Marxism. He outlined the backup plan too: total destruction. From the first lines of the Manifest of the Communist Party, Karl Marx makes it clear that his class-conflict model always ends in one of two ways: "a revolutionary reconstitution of the society at large or in the common ruin of the contending classes." In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains why a Marxist insurgency against any institution is happy to achieve either of these two outcomes: control or destruction. Join him to learn the truth about the evil ideologies based on this logic.

How "Woke Right" Beats the Dialectic
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 121
There are a lot of names we could give the obvious problem on the radical Right that has infiltrated and is threatening MAGA today. It used to be called the "Alt Right," and the Left used that term to mount a successful defense and even recruitment campaign for their causes (remember: Joe Biden ran for president and "won" based on Leftist reaction to the Alt Right). Another, better, term for the phenomenon is the "Woke Right." It is not just more accurate and true, it is also strategic. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains why the Woke Left cannot use the framing "Woke Right" the way it uses other labels, like "Alt Right" or "Neo-Fascist Right," in effect short circuiting the dialectic they depend on to drive their activism. (This episode, as I note, points to a subscribers-only episode of James Lindsay OnlySubs https://newdiscourses.com/2025/05/the-surprising-genius-of-woke-right/, paywalled, I did on this subject previously.

Introducing the Nazi Experiment
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 120
What happened in Germany from the early 1920s through 1945 is one of the greatest atrocities in human history. It was so bad, in fact, that it became a symbol of ultimate human evil eclipsing even Communism. This had its benefits, but it also presents a weakness. "Never forget" became "we forgot." In knowing that the Nazi Experiment was abjectly evil, we lost sight of why and how it was evil. To remedy this, James Lindsay, host of the New Discourses Podcast and New Discourses Bullets, has begun a sprawling podcast series on the "Nazi Experiment" (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/06/the-nazi-experiment-vol-1-the-nazi-racial-worldview/) you won't want to miss. This episode of New Discourses Bullets introduces the series, its rationale, and its unique framing. Since Never Again is now, this is crucial listening.

Exclusion as the Basis of Wealth
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 119
We're inundated with messages that somehow "diversity is our strength" and the path to that strength and growth is through "inclusion." We also know that term is a Communist scam, and we've talked about that at length in the past, repeatedly. Well, it's time for a defense of exclusion as it is rightly meant by Communists, specifically the "fundamental right to exclude," which is a pillar of what defines private property. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains how this property, the fundamental right to exclude, is the basis for all wealth. It's not just an important episode to catch but one that's crucial to share with your kids who aren't getting these lessons at school.

How Woke Uses Political Warfare as Intelligence Operations
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 118
Much of what Woke does in practice boils down to a certain kind of intelligence maneuver that might be referred to as "displacement." It's important to understand this activity because it is a bread-and-butter technique of Woke manipulation. In short, the Woke are masters of striking a target and getting the target to believe the strike came from somewhere else, which they will then attack instead of attacking the Woke. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this important manipulative tactic so you can learn to see it and get out from under its spell.

The MAGA Civil War is upon us, as many people have noticed. But what is it? Where did it come from? What are the sides, and who is right?

In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, he summarizes the biggest takeaways from that longer presentation in a quickly digestible form. Join him to get the skinny on this crucial issue.

A Message to MAGA Youth
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 116
"To rebel is justified," Mao told his young Red Guard, loosing them on China at the beginning of the brutal Cultural Revolution. He wanted them to expose the "capitalist roaders" who had ruined everything in the Great Leap Forward and afterwards, as he led them to believe. "Smash the Four Olds!" he commanded, and his young, thoughtless followers did, breaking every taboo of Chinese culture to vent their frustrations with a situation they were led to believe was intolerable because of their class enemies and wrong thinking. Today, it's not Mao; it's MAGA influencers. It's not capitalist roaders being hunted; it's "neocons," whatever they mean by that. It's not the Four Olds that must be smashed; it's "Boomer mentality." In this long episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay sends a chilling and important message to young conservatives in America and beyond, warning them of how they might be being used, only to be ruined and discarded later.

What is Agitprop?
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 115
Did you know that propaganda comes in more than one form. In particular, there are at least two broad types of propaganda, what the Soviet dictator Lenin termed "agitation" and "propaganda." They're not quite the same thing. Agitation is supposed to influence your emotions; propaganda is meant to make you misunderstand. In this important episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay discusses the concept of agitprop to open your eyes to it.

Elite Theory, Descriptive and Prescriptive
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 114
Are we ruled by elites? Must we be? Should we be? These are the key questions addressed by a school of thought that's sometimes called "elite theory," or, when answering in the affirmative to the question of whether elites should rule us, "elitism." It's a thoroughly unAmerican idea that is a sure threat to liberty. But what is it, how does it think, where does it come from, and isn't that what Lenin was doing with his Bolshevik Vanguard in the first place? In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay dives into the various faces of elite theory and elitism and gives a trenchant warning against a rising tide of elitist thought, not just on the Left but also on the Right. Join him to better understand the elitist idea that, when your guys do it, it's not hypocrisy, it's hierarchy.

Can Nationalism Solve Our Woke Problem?
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 113
Is nationalism the answer to our Woke woes? Well, yes and no, and mostly no, and to be that guy, it depends on what you mean by "nationalism." In fact, there are lots of ways to define both nationalism and the nation to which a nationalist program would be ideologically committed. It can be a sentiment in a variety of strengths, which can be quite good and valuable, or it can be a collectivist ideological project, which is not so good. Conquering nationalist regimes and programs is also a Communist bread-and-butter tactic. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay takes on the question and introduces the complexity of the subject of nationalism, including Christian Nationalism in America, as a solution to our Woke political troubles. Join him to get a wider perspective on this important issue.

The State of Exception and the Unbound Executive
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 112
There's a political theory known as unbound executive theory. It originates with a German thinker, later turned Nazi, named Carl Schmitt. Schmitt, whose political theories were useful to Fascists and finds employment by the CCP in the People's Republic of China today, believed that for a sovereign or chief executive to truly be sovereign, he must be able to exempt himself at need from the general rule of law. That is, the executive must be able to become unbound by law, including the national constitution. Schmitt argues this should take place under special emergency circumstances called "the state of exception," which is to say a crisis, perhaps like Covid-19 or to remove Woke infiltration. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay gives an introductory overview to this strongly unAmerican political theory and explains its popularity with Woke tyrants on both Left and Right. Join him to understand how the "post-liberal" factions on Left and Right both increasingly think about executive power.

In the fight against the Woke, there is so much to be done. Luckily, there are also many hands eager to help in the work.

Our present circumstance is a political warfare battlefield, like it or not. That means we are inundated with propaganda from all sides.

Leftism Means Coveting Power
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 109
There are many ways we could conceive of Leftism, and one of the best is that it is a covetous relationship with power. It's easy to understand how toxic and bad that is, if not evil. Yet here we are at a crossroads in world history, and we're being led toward precisely that pit. There's a popular line out there now that goes something like this: "the Left wants power, and conservatives don't. That's why conservatives always lose." The implication is that conservatives should also desire (or covet) power. This line adopts the Left's relationship to power and fails to articulate the healthier relationship to power embraced by conservatives: that of faithful service to others, which conservatives often gladly shoulder. In this important episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay covers this line and a healthier way to move forward into the responsibility we have to shoulder. Join him for the discussion, then chew on it.

Our Present Choice: Catharsis or Civilization
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 108
America is at a crossroads, and how it chooses may affect the fate of the entire world. Though there are different ways to conceive of the choice that lies before us, one is that we will have to choose between catharsis and civilization. It's unlikely we can have both, so this choice is incredibly important and deadly serious. If we choose catharsis, a sweet release of all our anger and frustration from the oppression and chaos of Woke Marxism, we will likely upset the balance required to maintain our civilization. If we choose civilization, we will have a real chance of climbing out of this, but we'll also have to swallow many of our feelings and restrain ourselves against our passions. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay offers a short introduction to this choice. Join him in choosing well.

Drag Queens as Priests of Queer Theory
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 107
Queer Theory, which is to say Queer Marxism, is a religious cult, as discussed at length in The Queering of the American Child (https://amzn.to/40GX0i5). So what's the role of the drag queen in this cult? While much has been said on this issue to clarify for people that the drag queen in the presence of children is meant to be the purveyor of an initiation rite into Queer Marxism for the kids, a clear explanation of why they're chosen would be of use. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay provides the explanation as it is rooted in Judith Butler's Queer Theory: drag queens are the enlightened priest class who understand that gender is an oppressive performance that can be parodied, disrupted, and deconstructed. Join him to gain greater depth of understanding of this grotesque cult activity.

Why Communism Is So Deadly
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 105
We all know Communism is perhaps the world's deadliest ideology, but what makes it that way? As it turns out, there's a simple reason Communism leads to mass murder, starvation, and death, and it's this: Communists believe Communism can never be wrong. What this amounts to in practice is that when Communist programs start to fail, it cannot be that they were bad ideas in the first place. It can only be that someone failed to do them right, and, as it always happens, that hidden enemies are causing the problems. The result of this self-aggrandizing and paranoid belief is always a witch hunt and violent purge of the people who get scapegoated for the Communist failures. In this important episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this catastrophic feature (not bug) of Communism. Don't miss it!

The Real Purpose of Safe Spaces
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 104
"Safe spaces" on college campuses are not new. In fact, they're not a very old, very tired topic. So is all of the "Coddling of the American Mind" (https://amzn.to/3O6nEtl) infantilization like we recently saw on campuses across America in the wake of President Trump's second electoral victory. The thing is, these obviously pathetic phenomena serve an educational purpose. That is, they're pedagogical. Their real purpose is to convince young minds that it is traumatic when politics don't go Left and then to "structure the environment to resolve that [trauma] productively" for Woke causes. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains the twisted pedagogical purpose of safe spaces, coloring books, puppies, and bubbles as a response to politics that rejects Marxism. Join him for an important lesson.

Be a Leader or Be a Supporter
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 103
In the fight against Woke Marxism, there is no sitting out anymore. Too much is on the line. That means everyone who realizes what's going on in our countries and around the world has a simple choice to make: be a leader or be a supporter. Leaders have to lead, and they need supporters, not merely followers. It's up to you to figure out which one you have the capacities to be, and where, and to take up that mantle. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay discusses this idea and its critical importance to stopping Woke and globalism from winning everything.

What is the Woke Right?
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 102
Something is rotten in the state of the conservative movement. Namely, a broad and diffuse coalition of radical Right-wing elements has arisen and begun to mature bearing unmistakable hallmarks of Woke behavior while claiming Right-wing status and conservative values. Some have called it the "Woke Right," which in certain ways is a very good name for it, although "Right Hand of the Left" is also good. In this first introductory episode on the topic, host James Lindsay gives a (somewhat long) New Discourses Bullets treatment of the phenomenon, with more sure to come. Join him to understand how we are undeniably entering into a two-front war against the Woke.

The DARVO of "You're Divisive!"
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 101
DARVO is an acronym that refers to a particular abusive behavior that applies when the abuser is caught or called out. It stands for Deny, Attack, and Reverse the roles of Victim and Offender: DARVO. DARVO takes many forms, but in wedge operations it very frequently takes the form of being divisive and then accusing the people who call it out of being divisive. It fits the mold: Deny: "I'm not divisive!" Attack: "You're divisive!" in such a way that it Reverses the roles of Victim and Offender. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this simple, common, Machiavellian trick used to steal power by divisive elements.

21st Century Communism
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 100
Communism hasn't died, despite what many would have you believe. It has evolved and adapted for the 21st century. What you see under the CCP in China, that's the Chinese Communist Party, today and what we deal with under ESG and the UN Agenda 2030 in the West is 21st Century Communism, which appears to fulfill Marx, not contradict him, at least in certain ways. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay spends a few minutes to explain to you how Communism is presenting in the 21st century and what it means for us and our fight for our and our children's liberty.

Don't Trust Woke Language
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 99
If there's one trait that anti-Communists need more than others, perhaps aside from courage, it's discernment. The need to discern the true agendas of Marxists and even to discern the very meanings of the words being used by Marxists is an indispensable skill that must be learned and cultivated to deal with times like ours, which involve an attempted Communist revolution. Discernment in this regard begins with suspicion, though, particularly the suspicion that what we're being told and the words with which they are telling us their ideas aren't honest. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay gives a very simple instruction: start being a lot more suspicious of Woke words and agendas. From there, develop enough curiosity about the manipulations we face to understand, resist, and describe them so that you can be a light to yourself and others in the murky darkness of Marxist manipulation.

Woke Isn't Insane; It's Evil
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 98
We need a perspective shift. It's extremely common to hear people saying how "insane" or "crazy" Woke Marxism is, or to rhetorically ask "what are they thinking?" perhaps with a suggestion of "it won't work." Marxism is destructive, on purpose, and being befuddled about their destructive programs doesn't help us stop them. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down the simple idea necessary for this shift in perspective: they have different goals than the rest of us. In fact, their goals are, in the words of Herbert Marcuse, to "protest against the totality of a well-functioning, prosperous society." Join James for this important episode to understand this crucial point.

DEI is "Speaking Bitterness"
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 97
In Mao's China, the population was turned against itself through relentless campaigns known as "Speaking Bitterness." Of course, this was prompted and forced by the Communists, and it worked to their advantage by tearing apart the fabric of the communities they were "transforming." We have been doing the same thing here in the West, primarily at work and in our schools, under names like "DEI training," "unconscious bias training," "Social-Emotional Learning," and, broadly, "Sensitivity Training." In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay gives the original context for these disastrous "trainings" so we can be better equipped to expose and stop them.

Reflexivity: Leftism in the 21st Century
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 96
Dialectical Leftism doesn't just do the old Marxist thing anymore. There's a new dialectical game in town that allows Marxists worldwide to transcend classical Marxism, including in the Chinese Communist Party over the last few decades. That method is called "reflexivity," as it was outlined as a so-called "shoelace dialectic" by George Soros in his famous book The Alchemy of Finance (https://amzn.to/3XjXqJp). Host James Lindsay detailed the Soros method (https://newdiscourses.com/2024/04/the-reflexive-alchemy-of-george-soros/) recently in a long-form podcast on the New Discourses Podcast platform, and here, he summarizes the essential points in short form for the New Discourses Bullets. Join him for this important episode to learn how propaganda and driven feedback loops are misshaping the world.

Do Your Homework!
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 95
To be successful at pushing back at Woke Marxism, you have to know some Woke Marxism and know it pretty well. It's not enough to have a tacit sense of what "Woke" or its programs are about. You have to be somewhat knowledgeable. Leftists are extremely good at discrediting their opposition by making them look dumb (or ignorant, or uninformed), evil, or crazy, and they will spring questions on unsuspecting activists to create this image. Preventing them the easy entry against you, your work, and your message that is undermining your intellectual authority on these matters is as simple as one thing: doing your homework. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay talks about this Leftist strategy and the importance of doing your homework to countering them. Join him to up your game!

The Political Definition of "Queer"
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 94
Queer Theory is one of the most destructive ideas ever to have been loosed onto our society from the halls of academia, as we have documented in the recent book The Queering of the American Child (https://amzn.to/3K2HovQ ). But do you know the definition of "queer"? Do you know that it's not possible to be queer, only to act queer? Do you know it has almost nothing to do with gay people? Do you know it's virtually guaranteed by definition to encourage pedophilia? All this and more is available in the original definition of "queer" as it is used in Queer Theory. Join host James Lindsay in this episode of New Discourses Bullets, where he reads and explains the original definition of "queer" from David Halperin's 1995 book Saint Foucault: Towards a Gay Hagiography (https://amzn.to/4bmHaM2 ).

Woke Marxism Rejects Prosperity
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 93
Surely you've noticed that Woke doesn't work. Of course it doesn't. It's not just bad ideas put into operation by bad people and obvious grifters, though, that causes the problem. Woke Marxism isn't even interested in making things work. In fact, it's worse than that, even. Woke Marxism is, by definition, hostile to making things work. It is, as Herbert Marcuse put it in An Essay on Liberation (https://www.marxists.org/reference/archive/marcuse/works/1969/essay-liberation.htm ) in 1969, a protest against "the totality of a well-functioning and prosperous society," even against its very Platonic Form. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay shows you exactly where this mentality was adopted by the radical Left that became the Woke Left to explain why Woke Marxism cannot possibly make anything work. It's opposed to the very concept!

Communists Are Good at Conquest
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullet, Ep. 92
There's an old saying about Communists that applies to all militant ideologies: they are good at conquest and bad at management. That's only half of the story. The fact is that because of their cult-religious nature, various strains of Communism aren't just bad at management; they're completely disinterested in management. That is, they don't want to make things work; they just want to control people and institutions to make more Communists. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains the ideas behind that simple summary of Communist behavior. Join him to learn why Communists don't know how and won't ever know how.

Easter in the Woke Cult
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 91
Woke Marxism is a cult. It's not like a cult. It's not kind of a cult. It's a cult. Because it's a cult, and like the word "Woke" implies, becoming Woke means experiencing a rebirth into the social, emotional, and intellectual worldview of the cult's doctrine. In fact, fathers of Woke Marxist theory, like Paulo Freire, are explicit about this aspect of Woke Marxism in the starkest possible terms. For Freire, awakening to critical consciousness (becoming Woke) is a personal Easter, a spiritual death and resurrection on the side of the oppressed. How do we know? He says it himself, explicitly and more than once, in his now-famous 1984 book The Politics of Education (https://amzn.to/3UEduEa). In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay pulls back the curtain on this cult belief and makes it plainly visible. Join him so you can understand that we're dealing with the largest cult startup in human history.

The Lie of Planned Spontaneity
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 90
Regardless of the issue (BLM, Drag Queen Story Hour, Pride, or a college uprising), the ideological totalism of Woke Marxism uses classic tactics to advance itself. One of those is a kind of manipulation through what is called "planned spontaneity," a clear oxymoron. Planned spontaneity is a "mystical manipulation," in the words of Robert Jay Lifton, that gives the totalizing cult the appearance of incredible, widespread, organic support, if not omniscience. The current pro-Hamas (or pro-Palestine) student uprisings are no exception. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this phenomenon through the lens of Lifton's work, particularly indicating how the current Red-Guard student uprisings fit into this fake, manipulative frame of reference. Don't miss it!

Digital Cattle
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 89
Our future, if the Woke Marxists prevail, may well be to be made into "digital cattle." What does that mean? It means that we will be led into a state of dependency, perhaps using a Universal Basic Income, and enter into a remade (distributist) economy based on social credit, which is to say compliance with the state's agendas for us. To make this system work, both practically and in terms of control mechanisms takes incredible amounts of data. Like cattle who earn their feed by being raised for meat, we will earn our "basic income" by providing the data necessary to keep us under "sustainable" control. Join host James Lindsay in this frightening episode of New Discourses Bullets to understand a possible future in the so-called "technetronic era."

How Tyrants Force Compliance
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 88
Compliance can be extracted by tyrants from a population through a straightforward method of creating enmity between segments of the population. First, the population is split into those who comply with the tyrant's programs and policies and those who do not comply. If there are enough among the compliant, a demonization campaign we should call "hatecraft" is employed to pressure those dragging their feet to comply and to demonize those who refuse compliance. Perhaps no one in history was more skilled at these techniques, the politics of compliance, than Mao Zedong in CCP-controlled China. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down the politics of compliance in detail, exposing the malicious tool behind exactly what we have been put through over the last several years. Join him to understand this powerful weapon in the hands of tyrants and how to resist it.

You Need to Love the Truth
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 87
We all know we have to tell the truth, especially in these trying times. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn told us that a single man telling the truth could bring down a regime. Well, how do you tell the truth against those odds? You need a lot more than knowing you should tell the truth. You have to love the truth (and fear it!) with all your heart, all your mind, all your soul, and all your strength, and then you need to tell your neighbor the truth as you would expect him to tell the truth to you. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down one of the most important principles against tyranny: loving the truth. Join him to get based.

Staying Out of Affordance Traps
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 86
One of the most potent techniques dialectal wizards make use of is setting "affordance traps." An affordance trap is a way to trap their targets into a very limited range of options (which are afforded to them), usually with the psychological effect of making it difficult or impossible to think of any other possibilities other than those offered. Breaking free of affordance traps is necessary to beating Woke Marxism and all other forms of dialectical manipulation. Join host James Lindsay for this episode of New Discourses Bullets to learn about this important topic.

China's Neoliberal Communism
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 85
How should we describe the system currently used in China? It's the CCP, Chinese Communist Party, so it's obviously a Communist nation, but look at the crazy-rich Asians and the huge corporations there. It's not Uncle Joe's Communism, that's for sure. So, what is it? Whether we want to call it Chinese Communism, Communism 3.0, or Neoliberal Communism, it's a Communist state that's operating with a controlled, Potemkin neoliberal "market" economy. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay spells it out. Join him for a little storytelling with a point!

Communism Marries a Truth to a Lie
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 84
"Communism marries a truth to a lie." -Julie Behling, author of Beneath Sheep's Clothing (https://amzn.to/3UDPwtc) and director of a forthcoming documentary (http://beneathsheepsclothing.movie) by the same title.
One of the most basic truths about how Marxism works is that it marries a truth to a lie. Another way that has been put is that "every Woke term conceals an agenda" (https://newdiscourses.com/2023/05/woke-terms-conceal-agendas). In order to combat Woke Marxism, then, it is crucial that we learn to pull apart the truth and the lie and to expose the manipulation involved. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay takes you through the principle and almost a dozen examples of how it works in practice. He then assigns you homework: go practice this skill for yourself!
NB: Some of these ideas and tactics are also covered in detail in James's volume with Charles Pincourt, Counter Wokecraft: https://amzn.to/4bIlGJX

How to Allocate Your Resources
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 83
Many of us are working tirelessly to fight Woke Marxism and its attempted takeover of our societies, but the question is whether we're working as effectively and efficiently as we can. Often, we aren't, and it's discouraging, frustrating, exhausting, and demoralizing. When we are, though, we get the opposite effects: morale builds, momentum is generated, and winning builds upon winning. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay introduces the "Pareto principle," also known as the "80-20 Rule" as a guide to organizing our efforts when we're out organizing against Woke Marxism. Join him to learn about how we can all be more effective with our efforts.

The Real DEI Program
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 82
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion are three words that symbolize a program that a rapidly growing proportion of people across Western nations recognize to be nefarious. Indeed, they are Communist, as has been amply discussed on this podcast and on others. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks this fact down another way. In it, he suggests that "Diversity" represents politicizing, "Equity" represents redistribution, and "Inclusion" represents accommodating the intolerant ideology of the Woke activists to achieve renormalization that transforms the institution. Join him for this insightful discussion that will change your perspective on DEI programs.

How the Pendulum Really Swings
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 81
We all hear about the pendulum swinging in politics. We're also all aware that the pendulum is currently pushed very far Left, leading people to suspect it will swing back hard soon; indeed, maybe too hard. It's important to understand how Work Marxists and other Leftists throughout history have made intentional and productive use of the pendulum swinging. It is their style to arrange affairs so that when the pendulum swings back, it has also moved position so that instead of striking them, it strikes another one of their targets. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down this strategic use of "the principle of polarity" so we can strategize more successfully and avoid predictable traps.

DEI as Stochastic Entryism
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 80
Entryism (https://newdiscourses.com/2023/12/communist-entryism/) is the idea of infiltrating an institution with hostile subversives. It's a name for a variety of strategies for getting them in where they're not wanted. DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) programs achieve an entryist goal through an indirect method that involves a bit of randomness. That is, they're stochastic entryism. The way they work is to increase the probability of hiring people who are activists or who can be made activists through further training without intentionally selecting for activists in a direct way. This maintains plausible deniability about the goal of the program. Simultaneously, it pushes people who reject the Woke Marxist ideology out, but again, apparently at random. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down how DEI initiatives and programs achieve stochastic entryism for Woke Marxist activists and how this is the real goal of those programs.

Understanding Reflexive Environments
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 79
A magic word for Woke Marxists and their shrewd handlers is "reflexivity." Reflexivity is the energy that makes revolutions go. Most of us, since we're not wizards who want to manipulate society to our own ends, don't think in reflexive terms, and so we not only fail to recognize the use of reflexive political warfare tactics against us, we also tend to fall for them. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay introduces the concept of reflexivity. Join him to learn to recognize the building of reflexive potential, the explosion into a reflexive environment, and what you can do about it.

The Need for Linguistic Discipline
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 78
Woke Marxists overwhelmingly take advantage of malicious language games. That means you cannot be linguistically lazy when trying to deal with their incursions. We have to start cultivating a habit of linguistic discipline to take apart Woke word magic. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains the need for linguistic discipline with several important examples. Join him to start training.

How the Woke Infiltrate
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 77
When Woke Marxists set their sights on an organization, there's a predictable pattern for how they'll get in and take over. Proceeding in five steps, it looks like this. First, they demand access. Once in, they demand accommodation, which will be weaponized according to their ability to take offense at everything. Then they'll demand a seat at the table, which is to say access to power. That will quickly expand to demanding to control the table and setting the rules. From there, they'll demand to control the whole room (organization). This is predictable, and it can be spotted and stopped. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains. Join him so you can learn to recognize it and fight back.

Communist Entryism
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 76
Communists have to get inside institutions to subvert and transform them. Getting into them requires tactics. The name for these tactics is entryism, or sometimes just entrism, and it describes how a hostile ideological force goes about getting inside an institution that wouldn't normally accept it. It's a key concept for stopping Woke Marxism, so in this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks it down. Join him and understand this important Woke tactic.

Is CRT Anti-White?
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 75
One of the more important questions about Critical Race Theory, and one of the only ones that still lingers now that we know that it's Race Marxism, is Is CRT anti-white? The answer seems to be obviously yes, but it's somehow inadequate or a crude oversimplification. This matters because that crude oversimplification, like most blunt instruments, is both popular and hard to avoid picking up in a fight. The real answer is more no than yes, and getting it straight makes a big difference in how we engage it. Join host James Lindsay in this episode of New Discourses Bullets where it tries to make it more clear.

Understanding Settler Colonialism
New Discourses
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. Join him for clarity.

Critical Education is Brainwashing
New Discourses
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.

Class Identity and Gnostic Election
New Discourses
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
New Discourses
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
New Discourses
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. Join host James Lindsay for this episode of New Discourses Bullets where he explains it all.

The Hard Truth About Struggle Sessions
New Discourses
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.

The Feeling of Mystification
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 68
One of Marxists' favorite words to project onto their enemies is "mystification." Everyone, they insist, who isn't on board with their twisted program is "mystified" about the true nature of reality, which they have, of course, discovered and delineated in unique clarity (in their own estimation, anyway). As we know, the Iron Law of Woke Projection never misses. The fact is that Marxist ideologies mystify their targets. That is, they mug people of their ability to apprehend and discern reality through tricky arguments that work a lot like an illusionist's trick or a wizard's spell. The feeling is that you've run into a "good argument" for something that must be false, and it's critical people learn to recognize this feeling so they know when to slow down and dig deeper. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay illustrates the conditions of Woke Marxist mystification and talks about how to learn to pierce through it to see reality clearly again.

Decolonization is Violence
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 67
Given recent events in the Middle East, in which Woke Marxists throughout the world have indicated their total alignment with Palestine against Israel even in light of atrocities, the idea of "decolonization" is back in the center stage. Academics and activists across the West are not only celebratory of the violence in Israel; they are also mocking the general public for failing to realize that "decolonization" is intrinsically a violent, brutal process. What's going on here? Where do these ideas come from? The answer is that these ideas come from a postcolonialist named Frantz Fanon, who wrote his radical and troubling books in the 1950s and 1960s. These have become the academic gold standard for generations of radicals ever since. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay reads through French Marxist Jean-Paul Sartre's famous summary of Fanon's Wretched of the Earth and shows that decolonization is little more than a Gnostic rebirth ritual perpetrated through murder. Join him to understand this reaction as well as the so-called "strange death of Europe" and what we have in store as the postcolonial aspect of Woke Marxism fully awakens.

Queer Education Is Evil
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 66
It is a persistent myth and common lie that Queer Education (Queer Pedagogy) is meant to in some way help "LGBTQ kids," whether by fostering empathy, increasing visibility, providing role models, or whatever else. This is blatantly not true. In fact, it's blatantly not true in their own words. "Queer" is not an identity at all, and it has nothing in principle to do with any sexuality, gender dysphoria (or sex confusion), or any other real thing. Queer is explicitly and intentionally (https://www.amazon.com/Saint-Foucault-Towards-Gay-Hagiography/dp/0195111273 ) an oppositional political stance. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay goes over this idea while presenting a recent essay (https://newdiscourses.com/2023/08/queer-education-is-child-abuse/ ) on the topic he published on New Discourses. Join him to learn to see through these malicious lies.

Resilience & Woke Brainwashing
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 65
One of the hottest topics in education (and beyond) right now is "resilience." Youth mental health initiatives are being launched and entrenched all over the country, not just through school counseling but also through Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) initiatives, and their goal almost always includes "fostering emotional resilience." What is meant by "resilience" in the Woke Marxist context, though? We know it must mean something. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay draws from a UNESCO source (https://mgiep.unesco.org/article/sel-for-sdgs-why-social-and-emotional-learning-is-necessary-to-achieve-the-sustainable-development-goals) and explains that "resilience" refers to the opposite of "fragility," which means taking your brainwashing well. Join him to understand why these initiatives are not at all what they seem to sell themselves to be.

Marx's Strawman of Capitalism
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 64
Capitalism is a Marxist creation. It sounds crazy to say that, but Marxists don't mean competitive market economies or even free-market economies when they say "capitalism." They mean an overarching ideology of limitless capital accumulation as the fundamental organizing principle of society, which most people who promote "capitalism" wouldn't recognize as what they mean by the term at all. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay shows you in their own words what Marxists mean by the word "capitalism," which is a revealing and ridiculous strawman of market economics. Join him to learn all about it.

Degrowth is Communism
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 63
What is "degrowth"? Well, that's simple. It's not just the newest brand name for the "Net Zero" environmentalist scam; it's Communism rebranded and newly organized for the 21st century. That is, it is death. It is the fulfillment of Critical Marxist Herbert Marcuse's vision for a synthetic fusion of capitalism and socialism outlined in One-dimensional Man (https://amzn.to/45hdLzs) and An Essay on Liberation (pdf: https://monoskop.org/images/2/27/Marcuse_Herbert_Essay_on_Liberation.pdf) from the 1960s. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down the idea of "degrowth," sharing from a socialist magazine, an unlikely article (https://phys.org/news/2023-07-degrowth-planet.html) in a physics publication, and a new book (https://amzn.to/3KD39Tu) that claims "Degrowth Communism" is the realization of what Karl Marx really intended with his theories.

Reactance
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 62
There is a psychological phenomenon called "reactance" that is triggered when someone is convinced they're likely to lose liberties and freedoms they currently enjoy. It's a powerful effect that motivates action and forces people to take a side, usually against the perceived threat to their liberty. Woke manipulators know this and use it frequently. They explain that their enemies, usually members of a free society, are "fascists" who want to "limit the rights" of some vulnerable group. The goal is to trigger activation through reactance to join up in solidarity with the threatened group. You'll notice Leftists do this all the time, by the way. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this form of activism and how it works to polarize and activate useful idiots in the Leftist base. Join him to learn what it looks like.

The Gnostic Temptation
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 61
Why are Gnostic cults so tempting? Why do people get sucked into them? It's not because Gnostics go around telling people they're wrong. It's because they go around telling people they're limited. Your beliefs, maybe in science, spirituality, Christianity, politics, or whatever, aren't wrong; they're low-level. The Gnostics hold themselves out as people who know more about whatever you're into than you do, and they explain their superiority as being "liberated" from the limitations "THEY" (your teachers, pastors, etc.) are placing upon your knowledge. They don't want you to know these secrets, but we do. That's the Gnostic temptation. Host James Lindsay breaks it down in this important episode of New Discourses Bullets, adding an example (https://www.dignityindex.us/index) of how the current Gnostic cults are trying to frame American values as level five out of eight in human dignity.

Nullification
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 60
Virtually all Woke activism has the goal of nullifying its target (German: aufheben). What that means is putting the target in a position where he has to go along with Woke standards or be unable to productively resist against them. At best, a nullified target is irrelevant to the cause. Nothing they do makes progress because they're not regarded as a credible source. For instance, maybe they're "deplorables." At worst, a nullified target harms the cause against Woke Marxism by resisting it. For example, men who stand up against it are branded toxic and "part of the problem." In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay dives into the concept of political warfare nullification. Join him to understand it and learn to resist it.

The Real Threat of ESG
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 59
Thankfully, the world is rapidly waking up to the threat of ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) scoring for corporations and beyond. The nature of that threat and its contours are coming into view, and people are taking action. In truth, as menacing and dangerous as ESG is in what it's doing right now, the real threat of ESG lies elsewhere. The real threat of ESG is that it can be arbitrarily defined at the whim of a small number of unaccountable executives calling themselves "stakeholders." That's fearsome tyrannical power.

An Open Letter to Woke Youth
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 58
If you are Woke, you are in danger, not from the people you think you need to fight every waking moment of your day but from the people you support. History teaches this. The philosophy you support indicates it. If you succeed, you lose. If your movement fails, unless you make some serious changes, you also lose. That's not an enviable position to be in. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay offers you this short open audio letter, hoping you might realize you are on a collision course with History in this movement, and that, as it is said, "History uses people and then discards them." We at New Discourses hope you will listen.

Beating a Struggle Session
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 57
In Mao Zedong's CCP-run China, citizens were bullied and brainwashed into accepting "socialist discipline" by the Communist authorities by means of a devastating tool called the "struggle session." Struggle sessions are nothing short of a form of psychological torture achieved through social means. They are unbelievably difficult to go through, and they can and will polarize and divide an organization while nullifying its best members. They must be understood and resisted at every turn if we are going to stop the American Cultural Revolution. In this long episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains the struggle session and what to do about it in unprecedented detail. Join him to learn all about it and how to beat them.

How to Prevent Revolutions
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 56
One of the best things about reading Marxist literature is that they almost always tell you their weaknesses if you pay attention. A huge focus in the literature of Western Marxism has been on the fact that Western societies don't have Marxist revolutions because they are stable societies. This allows us to develop a kind of guiding light for fighting against Woke Marxism today: stability prevents revolutions. In practice, this means that anywhere we see instability and destabilization, we should work to counter it and create stability, especially economic, social, and psychological stability the Woke Marxists will use to try to invert society for their own agendas. Join host James Lindsay for this episode of New Discourses Bullets where he breaks it down for you.

On Life, Liberty, and Property
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 55
In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson famously used a curious phrase to describe man's fundamentally inalienable rights: "among these, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." What many do not know is that Jefferson was riffing off and augmenting a similar formulation from John Locke, who argued that we have inalienable rights to life, liberty, and property. Locke further argued that our right to property is meaningful in that the free use of our property is a means to enable our pursuit of happiness, thus explaining the meaning in Jefferson's phrase. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down these inalienable rights and why they matter so much, especially in fighting against Woke Marxism. Join him to learn why they are at the center of everything we must protect and the primary target for any tyrant who would rule over us.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 54
At the very beginning of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson wrote that we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Progressives, Communists, and the Woke have used this phrasing to drive a wedge in American society for over a century, provoking precisely the type of reaction they need to carry out their plans. Are all men really created equal? Aren't some people smarter, stronger, faster? What about slavery? In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay dives into the question and explains that in terms of basic political authority, yes, all men are created equal, and this is the keystone of a just, free, and prosperous society. Join him to hear his take.

Name the Dynamic
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 53
When you understand that virtually everything with Woke Marxism is (a) impossible and (b) a strategic provocation, it leads you to think about engaging with it differently. (And engage with it we must!) A powerful technique for breaking free of Woke magic spells and manipulation is simply to take a step back and name the dynamic. This is a powerful technique from mediation and negotiation that can break through many stuck situations, but it's crucially important to understand how it must be applied to defeat dialectical traps and advances from the Woke. Join host James Lindsay for this episode of New Discourses Bullets to understand it.

Woke Terms Conceal Agendas
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 52
Every Woke term conceals an agenda. That's a crucially important fact to understand. Yes, you may be familiar with the actual words in use, words like "diversity" or "resilience," but the Woke are misusing them and tucking an agenda in them, every time. You have to ask. Every time. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay covers this simple fact and gives you some strategies for what to do about it. Join him so you can counter this form of Woke word magic.

How to Fight a Tyrannical Movement
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 51
How can we fight a tyrannical movement trying to take over our society or mislead people into traps? One key thing to do is to understand how people relate to such movements and organize our messaging and activity in a way that targets them for where they are. Adopting a model from a recent talk, in this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay discusses five primary (and a few secondary) dispositions with regard to tyrannical movements and how to target messaging and activity toward each of them. This should help people fighting the movement be more aware and effective in their efforts, which can be more targeted across a wide set of necessary aims. Join him to learn how to fight a tyrannical movement.

Cult Language of Woke
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 50
Woke Marxism is a cult. In being a cult, it operates like an "initiate society," and the initiation into the cult is largely but not wholly accomplished through its deliberate misuse of language. As it turns out, this is a pretty consistent feature of cults, especially gnostic cults like Woke Marxism is. In technical language, gnostic cults are esoteric cults, and their language often has two meanings at once. One of these meanings is the everyday meaning they want you to think of when they use words like diversity, inclusion, belonging, sustainability, and so on: the exoteric meaning. The other is the coded meaning cult members understand: the esoteric or hidden meaning. Understanding this feature of Woke language manipulation not only clarifies their behavior but also makes clear that we're dealing with a cult. Join host James Lindsay for this episode of New Discourses Bullets where he explains this feature of the Woke Marxist cult.

The Structure of Cults
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 49
Cults have a structure. The Woke Marxist cult is no exception: it is structured too. In general, there are three types of layers in cults, though each of these might have various levels or ranks within it. Those are the "Outer School" of initiates who are committed to the cult but don't yet understand it, the "Inner School" of adepts who are deeply committed to the cult and do understand it, and the "Inner Circles" of disciples and leaders who are leading and guiding the cult whether they believe its doctrine or not. Until you understand the structure of cults, you will consistently underestimate and misdiagnose "Wokeness" because you'll mistake the behavior of the Outer School initiates as being characteristic of the cult, which it is not. The doctrine is pushed by the Inner School and paid for by the Inner Circles. Join host James Lindsay for this important episode of New Discourses Bullets as he breaks it down for you.

Sand in the Gears
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 48
One of the most powerful tactics against totalitarianism, one that worked to stop regimes from taking over and that broke existing regimes from within, is the simple strategy of "throwing sand in the gears," as it's said. What this means is going out of your way to make their programs bulky, slow, dysfunctional, and inefficient by deliberately underperforming, asking difficult questions, speaking up, and getting in the way. Do your job, if you must, but do it inefficiently as an act of "strategic resistance." Drag your feet. Make mistakes. Play dumb. Ask hard questions, both pertinent and impertinent while you can. Point out abuses. Spread information. Become sand in the gears of their machine and help grind it to a halt. Join host James Lindsay for this episode of New Discourses Bullets to learn more about this powerful strategy.

When to Stand Up
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 47
When is it time to stand up against Woke Marxism? Yesterday. Actually like five years ago. The next best time is right now. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay goes through the simple but important argument that as totalitarianism rolls out over your country, fighting back gets harder, not easier, with every additional day you wait to start. It's hard to stand up now, but as time goes on, you'll not only feel like you need to stand up more than you do now, but you'll also realize it's far, far more dangerous. In fact, by then, it may be too late. Join him to gain the courage to start fighting back now.

The Power of Opting Out
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 46
Maybe about a fifth of American adults decided not to get the shot (you know, THE shot). Maybe it was a quarter. Either way, that's not very many, it seems, but it was enough to stop the rollout of shot-based passports that could control our behavior and movement, in addition to the digital ID and tracking system that would come with it. That's the power of opting out of the totalitarian system they're trying to foist upon us, mostly by gaining our consent through appeals to "safety" and "convenience." This can be replicated, for example in schools and "competency-based education" and SEL surveying, and it not only slows down their rollouts but can disrupt them entirely, and this is a huge ingredient in how we beat an enemy that seems to have already captured everything. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay discusses the strategic power of opting out and the role it can play in stopping the madness of the Woke Marxist cult.

Anti-Communist Education
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 45
Know what the Woke Marxists really don't want? Anti-Communist education in our schools. They do not want our children to learn about the true history of Communism and its atrocities. They do not want our population to be able to recognize Communism for what it is, regardless of what it's called. We can know that's true not only because we have such thoroughly "redwashed" education in this country, which avoids teaching about Communism honestly, but because the Democratic Party in Virginia just went all-out to stop that state from adopting curriculum to this purpose, saying it would be potentially "racist" and encourage "anti-Asian hate." Join host James Lindsay for this episode of New Discourses Bullets to learn why one of the most valuable strategic moves, short term and long term, is therefore pushing for and creating anti-Communist education for our children.

Thought-Terminating Clichés
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 44
A powerful tool in the Woke Marxist toolbox is something called a "thought-terminating cliché." These are short, pithy statements, demands, or slogans that are designed to stifle thought in their targets as well as in those saying them. "Check your privilege!" is a good example. So is "Trans women are women!" or "Believe all women!" No doubt, you will have been on the receiving end of hundreds of examples of this kind of damaging non-speech over the last several years, and it's helpful to have a name for it. Join host James Lindsay for this episode of New Discourses Bullets to learn all about them and their relevance to the Woke movement.

Mao, Criticism, and Unity
New Discourses
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. Join host James Lindsay for this episode of New Discourses Bullets where he makes it clear.

The SEL Cycle
New Discourses
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.

Demoralization
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 37
Demoralization is the destruction of one's morale, in every possible sense. It's also a Communist tactic being used not only on our society but on our children. At the end of the demoralization road, people can't tell true from false, right from wrong, real from fake, or who to trust, and they completely lack hope outside of the vague hope that the state, institution, or cult will deliver them from their increasing misery and confusion. We must understand demoralization in order to resist and counter demoralization or else we risk losing our country, our children, and ourselves. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay sits down and discusses the various elements of demoralization and how they're affecting your life. Join him to avoid the "black pill."

DARVO
New Discourses
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.

Mid-Level Violence
New Discourses
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.

Fighting DEI Training

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.

Lysenkoism
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 38
One of the most notorious names almost nobody in the West remembers is Trofim Lysenko. His horrific ideas about agriculture and biology, derived mostly from crackpot Marxist Socialist and Soviet Theory, led to the starvation and deaths of tens of millions of people in the Soviet Union and Communist China. Opposing or challenging his ideas was a one-way ticket to cancellation, reeducation, or destruction. Lysenkoism, therefore, is the enforced application of an ideological lens that distorts science, and thanks to Woke Marxism and the "Sustainability" agenda, we're facing our own looming (and unfolding) Lysenkoist catastrophe right now throughout Western nations. Host James Lindsay breaks it down for you in this episode of New Discourses Bullets. Join him to understand an important facet of what's happening around you and the history behind it. It's not the first time in human history we've made this technocratic, scientistic mistake.

Woke "All" Means Some
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 36
In Woke Marxism, "all" means "some." Not just any some, but a very specific some: the some that the Woke holds out as suffering from systemic oppression. You see, Woke Marxism maintains that society is contoured entirely by systemic power, and that creates an "unlevel playing field" that they have to "level" through redistribution schemes like equity and inclusion. When they say they want to devise an education system that benefits "all students," then, for example, what they're telling you is that because of systemic power dynamics, some kids don't benefit under the current system, and that needs to be remedied. Thus, the system will favor those students and disfavor others who are deemed relatively privileged. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains why you need to be on the lookout for specialized Woke uses of the word "all" and why it ultimately harms everyone.

Action, Reaction, and Beautiful Trouble
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 35
What if I told you the Woke have a manual for their direct action and you could read it online for free today and learn how to spot their operations and call them out in real time? Well, they do. It's called Beautiful Trouble (https://beautifultrouble.org), and you need to know about it. It's the twenty-first century update to Rules for Radicals (Saul Alinksy), as they shamelessly report for themselves, and fighting the Woke when they engage in direct action (a Marxist tactical term, by the way) is almost impossible without understanding these tactics. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay introduces Beautiful Trouble by sharing one of its "principles": "The real action is your target's reaction" (https://beautifultrouble.org/toolbox/tool/the-real-action-is-your-targets-reaction/ ).

Narrative Arc Fitting
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 34
A common operational tactic of Woke Marxists is to weave a long narrative arc about what's happening in society through media and education and then to give "proof of worldview" by plugging useful events into that mythology to spur mass line activism and direct action. That is, they fit events into narrative arcs that have been strategically laid ahead of time. If you can spot the narrative arcs and how they work, not only can you refute them, you can also predict what kinds of events would count as "worldview proof" and interrupt their success. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down the strategy and gives some useful advice for spotting and desynchronizing narrative arc fitting operations. Join him to learn to beat this tactic.

(Theoretical) Lensing
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 33
Woke works through reframing, and much of the reframing occurs by passing every bit of relevant information through what they refer to as "theoretical lenses." These "lenses" might include Theories like Critical Race Theory or Queer Theory, agendas like Sustainability, or focuses like diversity, equity, and inclusion. This lensing effect distorts perception and comprehension and enables Woke manipulation, like seeing the world in a fun-house mirror. Understanding that all information that has been passed through Woke sources has been "lensed" is crucial to understanding it accurately and engaging it in a smart way. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down the approach so you can correct for the Woke lensing effect. Join him to see things more clearly.

Gnosticism, Modern and Postmodern
New Discourses

Woke Marxism might more accurately be called Woke Gnosticism, which is technically redundant. Gnosticism is one of the ancient "Esoteric" religions that has spawned cults, some weird and some dangerous, since Antiquity. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay gives a brief introduction to the Gnostic mindset and why it is the best characterization for the Woke phenomenon, Marxism, and all the rest.

Operational Preparation of the Environment
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 30
Woke Marxism isn't just a bunch of crazy academic Theory. It's also very practical. It's meant to be put into practice to "transform the world" by taking over institutions through activism. In order to do that, it wages unconventional warfare, particularly narrative warfare. A key technique employed by these activists, especially in media, is what is known as "operational preparation of the environment" (OPE). In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks this idea down and explains how Woke Marxists lay narrative lines in advance of certain events so they can capitalize upon them when the moment arrives. Understanding how they prepare their mass lines of action is critical to defusing them. Join him to learn how to spot and counter operational preparation of the narrative space!

The People
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 29
Marxists use linguistic tricks. "Communists share your vocabulary but they don't share your dictionary" is a common way of putting it. One of the dirtiest of those tricks is on the word "people." Whether it's in establishing "Democratic People's Republics" or championing "the people's movement," Communists are always subtly telling us that the only people they count as people are Communists. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this history and usage and ties it to a present-day example that, on the surface, looks funny but turns out to show an ugly hand.

Understanding Woke Marxism means more than just understanding their Theory. It also requires understanding their activity, which also helps you counter it. One of the most pervasive techniques used by Woke Marxism is "dialectical inversion." In dialectical inversion, the authority in a situation is inverted by applying the dialectical trick of seeing two things that are opposed to one another as parts of the same whole. Then the good thing is diminished, allowing the Woke incursion to look better by default. The usual trick is to say "everything is political," from which follows "the way you do what you do is political." From that dialectical point of false equality, the inversion is a simple matter of shaming through rhetorical judo. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down the technique of dialectical inversion and gives several clear examples. Join him and learn how to fight back!

Marxism and Holistic Thinking
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 27
Holistic thinking isn't just a feature of the weird New Age and spiritualists; it's also a centerpiece of Marxist thinking. For Marxists (like all Hegelians), the goal is to understand the parts in terms of the whole in which they are a part, and this is what's meant by "holistic" thinking. What Marx and Hegel mean by this form of dialectical thought is that they understand the whole, like the whole of History itself including its purpose, and you don't. Thus, they deserve all the power. This manifests in pushes for "whole child" education involving the "whole community" backed up by the "whole government" using "holistic methods" that transform "whole schools," for example. If you read their documentation on almost any subject, you'll find this peculiar "holism" all over the place. Join host James Lindsay in this episode of New Discourses Bullets where he pulls back the curtain on this seemingly strange phrasing and the diabolical concept behind it.

The Theft of Education
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 26
Education is being stolen from our kids and our society. In fact, for the most part, it has been stolen already. The way it's being and been done is through using something that is known as the "generative themes" approach, which derives from the work of the Marxist educator Paulo Freire. Generative themes are supposed to generate particular kinds of political conversations in the context of presenting some other kind of educational lesson. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay shares (with permission) Jennifer McWilliams's example (https://www.jennifermcwilliamsconsulting.com/) of a seemingly benign and innocuous second-grade word problem in mathematics class to show how a simple subtraction lesson can be turned into any number of political conversations about poverty, race, sex, gender, sexuality, family, parental authority, and environmental issues or climate change by a manipulative teacher-activist using the Freirean generative themes approach. This is what we are up against. This needs to stop.

Totalitarianism and the Progressive Impulse
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 25
With the possible exception of our would-be overlords, we all know Nazis were bad. Fewer of us, especially in the younger generations, understand that Communists are also bad. Do you understand these two movements and how they're actually both bad because they're actually both part of the same current of thought? That current of thought is progressivism, especially of the collectivist-socialist kind, which is more broadly an actionable manifestation of the Romantic counter-Enlightenment movement. While different in important ways, what these two evil movements share in common is profound. Join host James Lindsay in this longer episode of New Discourses Bullets to see them both, as well as our present circumstances, more clearly.

Systemic Trauma and Harm
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 24
Trauma and harm. Trauma and harm. Harm and trauma. It seems virtually everything Woke these days is justified on the back of some obviously nonsense appeal to "trauma" or "harm." Schools are arranged as being "safe and welcoming" and "places where everyone feels like they belong" in response to the pervasive "trauma" and "harm" of everything else in society. What's going on? In Woke Marxism, like everything else, trauma and harm are understood systemically. They're the result of oppression, which is the result of systemic power, which is the result of the structural stratification of society, which is how Marxists read everything in the world. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down how "systemic trauma and harm" are nothing more than the same old Marxist religious impulse (to undo the Marxist Fall of Man) and latest excuse for seizing power over everything.

Data is the New Oil
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 23
You have probably heard the quip: "data is the new oil." What does that mean, and what does it imply? In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay walks you through the concept, making it clear that data, like oil and gold before it, are not just extremely valuable commodities but can also serve as the basis for the next iteration of our currency. This has profound implications for life in the coming digital era if we don't get ahead of it now by passing robust data privacy, ownership, and protection legislation. This is truly an issue of global importance!

"Lived Experience," Explained
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 22
We've all heard it and done everything we can to avoid rolling our eyes now. "It's my lived experience!" as though that's evidence or, actually, even better than evidence. "Lived experience" is a particular result of Leftist dialectical thought, however, that allows them to convince people that whatever they say is right and whatever anyone else says is dumb or bad. It is, in fact, the dialectical synthesis of evidence and the Leftist phenomenological interpretation of the circumstances in which that evidence presents. It's even better than evidence, then, because while evidence is objective, "lived experience" is both objective and subjective at the same time, with the subjectivity coming from a place of higher consciousness. Join host James Lindsay for this episode of New Discourses Bullets in which he breaks it down.

Understanding the Dialectic
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 21
Leftist thought for at least the past 250 years has taken a particular form that is not the usual form of thinking and understanding we know and love. It's something completely different. The Left, perhaps since Rousseau and definitely since Hegel, has been dialectical in its thinking. It is the Dialectical Left. What is the dialectic, though? What is dialectical thinking? In short, it's the fusion of opposites in a way that understands them from a higher-level perspective, which is necessarily synthetic. In this slightly longer episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains the dialectic and dialectical thought in some detail with a considerable number of examples to help you understand this synthetic approach to thought and why it's always going to be a catastrophe in the making.

The Dialectic of Global Citizenship
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 20
There are certain advantages to understanding not just how the Dialectical Left (including Marxists and Wokeness) think but how their thought evolves over time. Theirs is a wholly Leftist religion that operates through a completely dialectical faith. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay spends a few minutes unpacking the dialectic and how it works. He then uses this information to trace the development of Leftist thought over the last 260 years and offers a cogent explanation for how it will develop over the next thirty, progressing through Woke Marxism into Sustainable Capitalism and pushing onward into "global citizenship" and a basis for a global administrative state.

On Individual, Corporate, and Social Buying
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 19
Apparently a lot of young people believe not only in something nonsensical but also specifically in socialism. I recently heard an example of a young woman talking about how all the necessities of life both "should be free" and "should be paid for by the government." Obviously, if they're paid for, they're not free, but she means that they're free for her and paid for by everyone, thus partly her, through the intermediary of the State. This is a terrible idea. To better understand why, it's best to understand a basic fact of economic decision-making, which are the differences between first-, second-, and third-person purchasing decisions and why government purchasing, which is always third-person, is always least likely to do well by the cost/quality tradeoff. Join host James Lindsay in this episode of New Discourses Bullets as he breaks it down.

What is a Woman?
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 18
What is a woman? That's the question of the year, it seems, and we're all aghast. The thing is, almost nobody understands what that particularly nasty bit of confusion is about. Luckily, the most high-profile case of the problem, which occurred in the Supreme Court confirmation hearing for Kentanji Brown Jackson, gave us the answer. She said she didn't know what a woman is (while being a woman) because she's not a biologist. In other words, to know what a woman is, you have to ask a qualified expert. It doesn't matter what the definition is because the whole thing is a power grab making use of Queer Theory (better called Queer Marxism) to steal power from deliberately constructed confusion. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks it down for you like no one else can. Join him and hear!

The Normalization Scale
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 17
Woke Marxists talk endlessly about the need to "destigmatize" this, "normalize" that, "affirm" this other thing, and "celebrate" whatever they say is best. They want you to think that these things are all the same, though, and any one who doesn't take the slider all the way from "destigmatize" to "celebrate" on any of their causes célèbre is somehow a conservative (or a bigot or a "Nazi"). In fact, these gradations are necessary to a healthy society, and their boundaries must be understood and maintained. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down the relevant categories and gives concrete examples of things that belong and do not belong in each. His goal is to add clarity to all discussions made muddy, murky, and ultimately dangerous by Woke Marxist activism that benefits from blurring the lines and making those slopes slippery.

Queer Theory Is Queer Marxism
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 16
Thanks to Drag Queen Story Hour, groomer schools, and all other things sex, gender, and sexuality pushed by today's out-of-control Woke Marxist Left, Queer Theory has been pushed front and center in the public consciousness, but what is it? Simply put, Queer Theory is Queer Marxism, which is a Marxist Theory about a form of sociocultural "property" called "normalcy," "normality," or "normativity," that it believes to have been unjustly created and in need of destruction and total abolition. As such, it's incredibly dangerous and destructive, particularly on the formative and impressionable psychologies of children, whom it targets in particular, often directly through our schools and children's entertainment programming. On this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down what Queer Theory is, partly in its own foundational words, and illustrates succinctly why it is a form of Queer Marxism that must be stopped. Join him to learn about this important and timely topic!

21st Century Re-Education, The Digital Gulag
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 15
Most people do not understand what a gulag is. They think of the Nazi concentration camps and therefore miss the point. Gulags, utilized directly and by that term in the Soviet Union under Lenin and then Stalin and without the term in Maoist Communist China, are re-education camps, not merely labor camps or concentration camps. That is, they have an ideological goal, and that goal is to brainwash people into becoming Communists. They're also mid-20th century technology, so they're not likely to be utilized extensively in their classical prison-camp form in 21st century totalitarian regimes, as we can already see in CCP-controlled China. The tyranny and brainwashing of today will be through digital gulags, which amount to using digital devices and technology to control and contour behavior, including through social-credit programs, while re-educating people into the Neo-Communist ideology behind these totalitarian agendas, primarily ESG-driven "sustainability." In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains not only what digital gulags might look like but how they're already being built, primarily using our children as guinea pigs under the "educational" brand name of systemic Transformative Social-Emotional Learning (SEL). Join him to learn about this crucially dangerous problem so we can take steps to stop it before it goes too far.

The Process of Marxist Consciousness
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 14
One does not merely arrive at a Marxist consciousness. In fact, conscientization is a process of awakening a Marxist consciousness, and it is a deliberate practice of cult grooming. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay walks you through the eight stages of Marxist conscientization, as he has understood them from Cultural and Critical Marxists in the 20th century. Join him to learn about the Marxist grievance cult initiation in a clear step-by-step way.

A Social Contract for the New World Order
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 13
Klaus Schwab is the Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, which openly seeks to remake the world and its economies into a "stakeholder" model of his own creation. In his 2022 book, 'The Great Narrative for a Better Future' (https://amzn.to/3QvkcrU), Schwab explains that the existing "shareholder"-based social contract has expired, and it's time for a new one. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay walks you through a few paragraphs of The Great Narrative in which Schwab details what a new social contract would entail and where it might come from. Join him to see what Schwab has in mind.

Leninism, Maoism, and Stakeholder Capitalism
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 12
Two of the most infamous figures of the 20th century are two of its most notorious Marxist dictators: Vladimir Lenin and Mao Zedong. Each had his own methods. Speaking broadly, Lenin's Bolshevik approach could be considered top-down, imposed by government and its seized industries, and Mao's "Marxism-Leninism with Chinese Characteristics" might be considered bottom-up, a youth rebellion, and inside-out, a cultural revolution ushered in by his radicalized youth. The most infamous Neo-Communist figure of the early 21st century will be Klaus Schwab, Executive Chairman of the World Economic Forum, who has figured out how to combine these approaches into a top-down, bottom-up, inside-out push. His primary tools: ESG and SEL. Join James Lindsay in this episode of New Discourses Bullets, where he succinctly explains how Schwab's "stakeholder capitalism" Is a Leninist-Maoist project to mold a new economy and society in his image using a two-pronged vanguard model and a cultural revolution.

Critical Thinking versus Critical Theory
New Discourses
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 11
One of the most common words we run into today thanks to the incredible spread of Woke Marxism is "critical." This is because Woke Marxism comes out of the Critical Theory tradition, which is the tool of a mid-20th century Marxist project called "Critical Marxism." We run into this term especially often in education, where the Woke Marxist objective is to use the pun on "critical" that exists between "critical thinking" and "Critical Theory" to advance their agenda under a positive-sounding cover. Luckily, they explain themselves plainly too. In this quick New Discourses Bullets summary, James Lindsay goes through an explicit admission by education activist Alison Bailey on the differences between the critical thinking and the Critical Theory (and Critical Pedagogy) approaches. Join him and stop getting fooled!

Marx's Unreal Realities | New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 10
New Discourses
In the Marxist literature, you run into the words "reality," "realities," and "actual" all the time. This is no mistake. Marxists believe they, and they alone, have hacked the system and come to the only true or scientific understanding of reality. Everyone else sees reality through an ideological distortion, and they can use their "critical" methods to see through it. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, James Lindsay cuts through their mystification and makes it clear that when Marxists talk about "reality," what they mean is their own weird and dangerous misinterpretation of it and nothing else. Misinformation and information switch places! Join him for the short discussion!

Life in Herbert Marcuse's World | New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 9
New Discourses
Probably the most influential Marxist thinker of the 20th century was the Critical Marxist Herbert Marcuse. His ideas were so influential that I commonly find myself saying "we live in Herbert Marcuse's world" today. Virtually everything crazy you see going on, perhaps except in schools, thanks to Woke Marxism and its corporate partners can be traced back neatly to Herbert Marcuse's neo-Marxist Theory, whether "Repressive Tolerance (https://newdiscourses.com/2021/01/how-not-to-resolve-the-paradox-of-tolerance/)," the turn to Identity Marxism (https://newdiscourses.com/2021/12/a-brief-history-of-identity-marxism/), or even the push for "sustainability" (https://newdiscourses.com/2021/10/sustainability-tyranny-21st-century/) at the highest levels of global governance (for example, the UN's Sustainable Development Goals and the World Economic Forum's Great Reset). Join James Lindsay in this insightful summary episode of New Discourses Bullets to understand what it means to live in Herbert Marcuse's world.

Historically Marginalized Is Forever | New Discourses Bullets, Ep.8
New Discourses
Here's a quick public service announcement for policymakers about a simple manipulation everyone keeps falling for: the concept of "historically marginalized" groups. Whether using the phrasing "historically marginalized" or "traditionally marginalized" groups, this little manipulation enables a grab of power and resources in a truly tricky way, and it's "feel good" phrasing that appears in policy everywhere today. What's the trick? Join James Lindsay for a few minutes in this episode of New Discourses Bullets to find out. Spoiler alert, if you're in a hurry: It's that no matter what happens after a policy bearing these terms is enacted, the group referenced as "historically marginalized" will always remain historically marginalized because history can't be changed. Any benefits assigned to those groups will be a permanent reorganization of distribution of power and resources as a result.

Paulo Freire's Schools | New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 7
New Discourses
Anywhere in North America, chances are our kids go to Paulo Freire's schools. Who is Paulo Freire? Paulo Freire is a Brazilian Marxist and Liberation Theologian who remade literacy education according to his ideological programs (https://newdiscourses.com/2022/04/paulo-freires-politics-of-education/) and thereby ruined it. His ideas were imported to North America in the 1980s and have been steadily colonizing education ever since. Now, his work has been so influential on the "Critical Pedagogy" (or, "Critical Education Theory") movement that virtually all teachers are trained in his ideas and implement them in classrooms across the nation. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down what this unfortunate turn in education means for schools and our kids.

The ESG Cartel | New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 6
New Discourses
How do you control the Bull on Wall Street? Simple: you put a ring through its nose. The name of that ring is ESG: Environmental, Social, and Governance scoring for financing and investment. Allegedly, ESG is supposed to provide a measure of a company's long-term sustainability and profitability, but it is, instead, the tool of a small number of so-called "stakeholders" who are actually technocrats. The tool enables big investment firms like Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street, Fidelity, and others to effectively run a monopoly-trust, which is to say a cartel, without being in direct violation of existing anti-trust legislation. If you wonder why everything, especially every big corporation, is going Woke, ESG is your answer. Join James Lindsay in this quick episode of New Discourses Bullets to break it down.

Social-Emotional Learning Explained | New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 5
New Discourses
Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) is one of the hottest scams in academia, but what is it? It is a psychological grooming mechanism used to open up children through "social" and "emotional" means to Woke Marxist ideology and praxis. It is clinical psychology practiced without a license in uncontrolled, non-therapeutic spaces on groups of children with no mental disease. It is a data-mining scheme used to probe our nations' children so they can be better propagandized in the future. Join James Lindsay in this quick episode of New Discourses Bullets to break it all down.

Critical Race Theory, Queer Theory, & Maoist Education | New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 4
New Discourses
At present, schools throughout North America are reproducing the youth radicalization program utilized by Communist dictator Mao Zedong. They're doing this by combining Critical Race Theory, Gender Theory (gender ideology), Queer Theory, and the other Critical Theories of Identity (Identity Marxism) to funnel kids into politically active, radical and revolutionary personal identities. They're doing it because it works: Marxism is the what, and Maoism is the how. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, James Lindsay condenses the argument in his popular Groomer Schools 3 podcast: The Creation of an American Red Guard (https://newdiscourses.com/2021/12/groomer-schools-3-the-creation-of-an-american-red-guard/) to explain Mao's strategy to radicalize and mobilize the youth against their existing culture. He then explains how the terms of Critical Race Theory, Queer Theory, etc., are used to reproduce this in the intersectional (Identity Marxist) context here in the West for the same purposes.

The School Choice Trap | New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 3
New Discourses
School choice is an important component not only of liberty and improving educational outcomes but also of defeating the Woke Marxist influence in our schools and upon our children. It isn't so easy as making the money follow the child or the backpack however. School choice legislation has to be smart, and it has some challenges in need of clever solutions before we blunder ahead into a trap the Woke Marxists are setting for us. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, James Lindsay spends a few minutes breaking down the challenges and pitfalls of bad school choice policy by explaining how it will fail to solve the essential problem and might even walk our communities and our children into a Woke trap even worse than what we currently see in the public schools.

Equity and Justice | New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 2
New Discourses
We hear about equity all the time but are rarely told that it's shorthand for Social Equity, or even "Critical Social Equity." We also hear all the time about Social Justice, which is sometimes referred to as Critical Social Justice. What are these concepts, though? In Woke Marxism, they are the rebranding of Socialism (Social Equity) and Communism (Social Justice), meant to be achieved through Critical Theory. That's it. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, James Lindsay explains Karl Marx's conception of the evolution of Socialism into Communism and then shows how the terms "equity" and "Social Justice" as widely used today reproduce this precise Theory in a new domain (identity politics) under new branding.

DEI Explained | New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 1
New Discourses
The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion industry under Woke Marxism is easy to understand. Equity is a rebranding of Socialism: an administered economy that makes outcomes equal. Diversity and Inclusion are tools used to install political officers and to censor and remove dissidents, respectively. In other words, the Woke Marxist DEI industry is a racket designed to install commissars for its ideology. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, James Lindsay breaks this vital concept down in quick, digestible terms.

21st Century Re-Education, The Digital Gulag
3 years ago
427
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 15
Most people do not understand what a gulag is. They think of the Nazi concentration camps and therefore miss the point. Gulags, utilized directly and by that term in the Soviet Union under Lenin and then Stalin and without the term in Maoist Communist China, are re-education camps, not merely labor camps or concentration camps. That is, they have an ideological goal, and that goal is to brainwash people into becoming Communists. They're also mid-20th century technology, so they're not likely to be utilized extensively in their classical prison-camp form in 21st century totalitarian regimes, as we can already see in CCP-controlled China. The tyranny and brainwashing of today will be through digital gulags, which amount to using digital devices and technology to control and contour behavior, including through social-credit programs, while re-educating people into the Neo-Communist ideology behind these totalitarian agendas, primarily ESG-driven "sustainability." In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains not only what digital gulags might look like but how they're already being built, primarily using our children as guinea pigs under the "educational" brand name of systemic Transformative Social-Emotional Learning (SEL). Join him to learn about this crucially dangerous problem so we can take steps to stop it before it goes too far.
