Thought-Terminating Clichés
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.
