Does it really exist? Is it really Woke? If so, how? These are increasingly important questions in our present circumstances as a visibly radicalized Rightism is emerging from within the broader conservative coalition and aiming to distort its aims and values along some new (or new-old) path. In this special long episode of James Lindsay OnlySubs, my subscribers’ only podcast, I take you through an

One such idiotic approach we’re all too familiar with, especially in the US, Canada, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand, not to mention across the formerly colonized world, is an emphasis on “indigenous techniques” and “indigenous ways of knowing.” Of course, this isn’t some new invention. Lenin

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

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 147 We’re hearing a lot about “joy” now that the Kamala Harris and Tim Walz campaign have made it a byword of their project, so we have to ask what they mean by it. We all know, by this point, that Communists share your vocabulary but do not share your dictionary. So what might they mean by “joy“? Well, it appears what they mean by joy is “radical joy,” which is a kind of religious ecstasy associated with believing they are going to accomplish Communism, or at least their revolution. Radical joy is rooted in “critical hope” together

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,

OnlySubs with James Lindsay, Episode 139 Book Club Series, Episode 7 This episode is available exclusively for New Discourses contributors on the following platforms: Facebook Locals Odysee Patreon Subscribestar Substack YouTube Members Communism sells itself as an ideology that rejects competition. Cooperation is supposed to rule the day, and competition is put down as a bourgeois ideology that alienates man from his neighbor and thus his true social nature. Well, wouldn’t you know that’s bogus? Communism is insanely competitive on every level, but because it’s also a farcical lie, it’s not a competition to make things better but to screw things up. More accurately, Communists

OnlySubs with James Lindsay, Episode 138 Book Club Series, Episode 6 This episode is available exclusively for New Discourses contributors on the following platforms: Facebook Locals Odysee Patreon Subscribestar Substack YouTube Members Marx famously remarked at the opening of his comments on the 18th Brumaire of Louis Bonaparte (Napoleon III) that Hegel allegedly said that “all world-historic facts and personages appear, so to speak, twice. He forgot to add: the first time as tragedy, the second time as farce.” Communism, as the Iron Law of Woke Projection maintains, is both tragedy and a complete farce, usually all at the same

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. Host James Lindsay detailed the Soros method 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.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 135 We all know that equity is a form of socialism now, almost. We’re also entering a new phase of the societal debate about the topic, so it’s worth clarifying the issue. As it turns out, we do embrace and want to embrace certain forms of “equity” programs as it is actually defined, but only under certain conditions. Those limits to equity are most comprehensible by the many approaches to disability discussed in both the sane and the Woke-insane literature that might broadly be classified as “disability studies” or the philosophy of the phenomenon of disability in
