The Lie Of Planned Spontaneity
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 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."

The Occult Theosophy of the United Nations
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 139
The United Nations is a religious organization, and the religion behind it is a cult. More specifically, it is a theosophical cult based on an "evolutionary" vision for mankind that it wants to control. This fact is revealed in a strange book by late UN big-wig and creator of the World Core Curriculum (Common Core in the United States), Robert Muller, from about 25 years ago titled 2000 Ideas for a Better World, which he published in four volumes in the lead-up to the year 2000 (links below). Muller delivered this book and a summary of the key spiritual points (https://search.archives.un.org/uploads/r/united-nations-archives/b/2/6/b2632c6e32bf3716fdcb137aae51c8af010e412704da3cfa0a34add2b900f764/S-1100-0033-14-00017.pdf) to the UN Secretary-General in March of 1999 in advance of the Millennium Assembly with the hope that it would guide UN global policy and global spirituality in the 21st century and third millennium. He then went on to publish five thousand more ideas. The book is shocking in its contents, and in this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay dives into a rather narrow sample of the troubling ideas contained in the summary document Muller stressed to the UN Secretary-General to set the agenda for our current century. Join him to find out what the UN really is.
Muller's book: Volume I (http://robertmuller.org/voladnl/v1adnl.htm ); Volume II (http://robertmuller.org/voladnl/v2adnl.htm ); Volume III (http://robertmuller.org/voladnl/v3adnl.htm ); Volume IV (http://robertmuller.org/voladnl/v4adnl.htm ).

How Tyrants Force Compliance
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.

The Reflexive Alchemy of George Soros
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 138
George Soros has a theory of change, and his goal is to make and move history. That theory of change is easy to understand if we take the time. It is also explicitly dialectical and alchemical. For Soros, society moves "historically" during times of chaos when people are searching for guideposts for what the future will bring, and it proceeds through change by "fertile fallacies," which are the seeds of what has elsewhere been called mass-formation psychosis. That is, feedback loops based on consequential errors change history. If you want to change history, then, it's simple. First, plunge society into chaos (say, by funding lots of things that destabilize communities). In the meantime, build "reflexive" potential so that the people driven into chaos work in ways favorable to your agendas. Then, when chaos ignites, place strategic "guideposts" that lead the desperate people to make exactly the kinds of mistakes that take them where you want them to go. In this important episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes on George Soros and his dialectical alchemy of "reflexivity" through Soros's own words as printed in The Alchemy of Finance (https://amzn.to/4adNsNv) and elsewhere. You won't want to miss it.

You Need To Love The Truth
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.

Kundrecensioner
Generous, insightful and calm.
The amount of research in the topics and the care that the shows are put together with is on a pair Dan Carlins shows. I just listened to the show “Hegel, Wokeness, and the Dialectical Faith of Leftism” from 2021. I have newer heard about Hegel and Marx in such a way. It’s a must!
Factual, until it’s about some specific topics
Poignant and intelligent analysis on some issues, but then obviously intentional “misunderstandings” of other issues that make actual factual discourse impossible.
This is especially regarding the arguments of other people in those very specific topics - aka the straw man fallacy: pretending that someone is arguing for something other than what they’re actually saying, and then attacking that made-up “statement” of the other person.
He does this very obviously for just some specific topics, especially when talking about women; while he gives sources and give word-for-word recaps on other people’s arguments, he follows quotes by women with things like “so what she’s saying is actually this” and then a straw man. Like when he cites a quote in a paper which was something like “if women who have been sexually assaulted realise that they aren’t alone, then they can support each other and make a bigger difference when it comes to the discussion on sexual violence” and then immediately follows up with “so, what she’s saying is that all women need to realise that they are a homogenous group and that they have all actually been raped”.
And it is really a shame that he does this so blatantly regarding some specific topics, because there are a lot of problems within for example different feminist movements that he could mention and deconstruct and argue against, if he didn’t decide to throw much of his intellectual integrity on out the window whenever a woman says something against a man and construct ludicrous straw men instead.
Dude, just keep to your usual high standard and argue against what someone actually said; there’s a lot of intelligent discourse to be had there and there’s no need to pretend that what someone says (cited verbatim) means something completely different (straw man). It’s obvious he does it out of distaste, because he’s not stupid, and he doesn’t intentionally misinterpret statements regarding many other issues - so he clearly has no problem with understanding what other people are saying. He’s just intentionally choosing to misrepresent the opinions of some of them.
