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

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. Additional episodes of New

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! Additional episodes

All Marxism is cult religious. All Marxist “theory” begins by believing it uniquely knows what human beings really are (socio-spiritual beings), into what they have been thrown (a mundane world of property ownership, imposed identity, and suffering through scarcity), and to what we must return (a truly social society that transcends individualism). Because Marxists fundamentally believe they know the true and secret socio-spiritual nature of humans whereas (demonic, Demiurgic) social forces have conditioned everyone else not to know them, they feel uniquely entitled to power for the purpose of remaking man into who he is. This explains most of their

The following is derived from the preparatory notes I made for my February 20, 2024, remarks to the University of Pittsburgh TPUSA chapter, as pictured, which was protested but very well received. I’m here to talk about Queer Theory. Some major points can be summarized very easily. Queer Theory is the doctrine of a religious cult; That religious cult is based on sex; That sex-based religious cult primarily targets children; and Almost none of it has anything to do with gay identity. Let’s address the last point first because it’s the least obvious. The term “queer” in “Queer Theory” gets

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 84 “Communism marries a truth to a lie.” -Julie Behling, author of Beneath Sheep’s Clothingand director of a forthcoming documentary 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.” 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

“Not to have a correct political orientation is like not having a soul.” -Mao Zedong Mao Zedong took over China with a strategy that will sadly feel unsettlingly familiar to us. Because he was able to mobilize hundreds of millions of people to comply, often enthusiastically, with his catastrophic programs, an adequate name for that strategy would be the politics of compliance. Understanding the basic premises and mechanisms of the politics of compliance is necessary for us today because these same methods are being used maliciously on us, thus require resisting, and because familiarity with these tactics at least partially

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 137 “American education is in the grip of a religious cult.” That’s the first sentence of the newest book coming out from New Discourses: The Queering of the American Child, by Logan Lancing with James Lindsay. This religious cult, which is called Queer Theory and Queer Activism, represents the basis for the greatest child-abuse scandal in history, and it’s time parents, grandparents, teachers, and citizens learn what’s really going on with it so we can put a stop to it. Written in Logan Lancing’s impressively accessible and easy-reading style, The Queering of the American

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.
