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

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 162 Woke isn’t just a slang term describing Identity Marxist beliefs about the world. Woke is a worldview, a religion. The right name for the ideology and worldview of Woke is critical constructivism, and it was first codified and explained in detail by a critical pedagogue by the name of Joe L. Kincheloe. In 2005, Kincheloe published a primer text on critical constructivism, titled Critical Constructivism: A Primer, and this book could very well be regarded as The Book of Woke. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay introduces this book

Imagine a sociopolitical movement that divides the population roughly into two essential classes: the oppressive “great power” class and the marginalized minority classes, who are said to be oppressed by the powerful. Now imagine that movement tells the population—and especially those minority classes—the following story. You are oppressed by the great power and its chauvinistic beneficiaries. Our movement sees this and thinks it’s a great injustice. We believe your people should be free from this oppression and should be able to self-determine. Your communities, your political meetings, and your schools, we believe, should be in your own languages. Your history

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 154 It is upon us: the fight against Woke is now a two-front war. On our Left, we have Woke Marxism that hasn’t gone away.

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. 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

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 153 Did you know the Soviet Union ran a DEI program exactly like the Woke Marxist one of today? How about Mao’s China? As it turns out, DEI isn’t an American invention. It’s a Soviet invention and Soviet export, designed, outlined, and implemented by Josef Stalin and Vladimir Lenin in the USSR in the 1920s. The results were predictable, of course: massively increasing ethnic strife arising from within the world’s most widespread Affirmative Action program in history. Russians, then later Han Chinese, then later straight, white, Christian, males in the West, were invited to subjugate themselves to ethnic minorities to accomplish “actual equality,” which we

In her talk, Doing Social Justice Responsibly on October 13, 2019 at the ‘Speaking Truth to Social Justice‘ conference in London, Helen Pluckrose tackled the ideological excesses within social justice activism, offering a way to address genuine social justice issues without abandoning reason or liberal principles. She argued that the dominant framework in social justice today—rooted in critical theory and postmodernism—has transformed genuine concerns about power and privilege into a rigid worldview. This ideology, she explained, rejects objective truth and promotes “strategic knowledge,” constructed to serve specific identity-based agendas rather than being tested against reality. Pluckrose acknowledged that while social justice concepts like bias, cultural narratives, and the power of language have validity, the radicalized methods often used within social justice turn productive critiques into dogma. Instead

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 151 What is “Woke“? What is its relationship to “Social Justice”? Why did so many people explain Woke as “Critical Social Justice” for several years? In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes you into the book that first opened his eyes to what “Woke” really is: Ozlem Sensoy and Robin DiAngelo’s Is Everyone Really Equal? (first edition). This book could truly serve as an eye-opening “Woke for Dummies” guide to where Woke comes from, what it really means by “Social Justice,” and how it thinks about the world. It, like all Woke books, is also a Woke grimoire, drawing
