New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 91 Woke Marxism is a cult. It's not like a cult. It's not kind of a cult. It's a cult. Because it's a cult, and like the word "Woke" implies, becoming Woke means experiencing a rebirth into the social, emotional, and intellectual worldview of the cult's doctrine. In fact, fathers of Woke Marxist theory, like Paulo Freire, are explicit about this aspect of Woke Marxism in the starkest possible terms. For Freire, awakening to critical consciousness (becoming Woke) is a personal Easter, a spiritual death and resurrection on the side of the oppressed. How do we know? He says it himself, explicitly and more than once, in his now-famous 1984 book The Politics of Education (https://amzn.to/3UEduEa). In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay pulls back the curtain on this cult belief and makes it plainly visible. Join him so you can understand that we're dealing with the largest cult startup in human history.

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.

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.

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 ).

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. New book!

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.

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. New book!

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.

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.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 84 "Communism marries a truth to a lie." -Julie Behling, author of Beneath Sheep's Clothing (https://amzn.to/3UDPwtc) and director of a forthcoming documentary (http://beneathsheepsclothing.movie) 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" (https://newdiscourses.com/2023/05/woke-terms-conceal-agendas). 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 almost a dozen examples of how it works in practice. He then assigns you homework: go practice this skill for yourself!

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 (https://queeringbook.com), 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 Child pulls back the curtain on the cult nature of Queer Theory and its unacceptable takeover of American institutions in education, medicine, government, policy, and beyond. It is a must-read. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host and co-author James Lindsay introduces the book and lets you know what some early readers have had to say about it.
