What Is an American? | James Lindsay

New Discourses ·

2026/01/19

Saving American Liberty, Session 9What is an American? Or, rather, what makes Americans American? This is a question we have been able to take for granted for a long time, but due to unwanted pressure from the "Woke Right," we're now facing a deliberate attempt to redefine American identity. At New Discourses, we believe in taking these kinds of challenges head on, so at the Saving American Liberty learning seminar we hosted in Dallas, Texas, on August 22-23, 2025, New Discourses founder, James

Milestones, Vol. 1: Islamist Bolshevism

New Discourses ·

2026/01/14

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 187What is Islamism? Is it the same thing as Islam? Has it varied over time? What's its relationship to Communism, at least in our present era? These are important questions, particularly in light of the undeniable force of the Red-Green Alliance currently besetting the West. Against the backdrop of American leaders naming the Muslim Brotherhood a terrorist organization, at least in limited fashion, it's a worthwhile endeavor to explore its

2026/01/12

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 138 As it turns out, a small number of bad actors who have an informational advantage over a much larger but naive population in turn have a gigantic strategic advantage over that same population. In order to demonstrate this fact and make it popular, a Russian student some decades ago devised a popular party game called "Mafia" that, after spreading to Western nations, got rebranded "Werewolves." This game can teach us a lot about how a small band of actors who are

2026/01/05

Saving American Liberty, Session 8In this session, Michael O’Fallon argues that contemporary post-liberal and integralist movements, while often presented as moral correctives to modern liberalism, pose significant challenges to pluralism, constitutional governance, and individual liberty. O’Fallon examines how concepts such as distributism and subsidiarity can shift authority away from individuals toward centralized structures claiming to serve the “common good,” and how modern forms of

The Alchemy of the Dialectic

New Discourses ·

2025/12/22

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 186The dialectic is ultimately the engine of all Marxist and Hegelian thought and also underlies Fascism and the conflict between Fascism and Marxism. It is also fundamentally Sociological Alchemy, as the Soviets both knew and admitted. Based on Marx's ideas about dialectical materialism as the fundamental law of all of Nature, including Man, the Soviets outlined three key dialectical laws and taught them to every school child and party member

Twenty-First Century Woke—Left and Right | James Lindsay

2025/12/19

Saving American Liberty, Session 7During the 20th century, or the Modern Era, material conditions were king, but as the Information Era of the 21st century (construed broadly) emerged, they have become less important to our politics. At the New Discourses-hosted Saving American Liberty conference held in Dallas, Texas, on August 22-23, 2025, founder of New Discourses, James Lindsay, explains in this important fourth lecture how thinking changed as the Modern Era gave way to an Information Era many

The Impending Disaster of Institutional Knowledge Bombs

New Discourses ·

2025/12/12

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 137Virtually every institution in the world runs not only on official knowledge but also on something called "institutional knowledge," which is passed from older "generations" in the institution to younger ones. What happens when there's an interruption in the accumulation and transmission of institutional knowledge, though? Eventually, the answer is institutional collapse, but it usually takes us by surprise because our institutions keep running just fine until it's

Saving American Liberty, Session 6At the Saving American Liberty learning seminar hosted by New Discourses in Dallas, Texas, on August 22-23, 2025, New Discourses founder James Lindsay and Sovereign Nations founder Michael O'Fallon sat down in front of the audience for a live, unscripted, and raw discussion about the circumstances and challenges Lindsay has faced for standing up to the "New Right" (or, if you want, "Dissident Right," "Postliberal Right," or "Woke Right"). The audience was shocked

2025/12/03

Saving American Liberty, Session 5In this session from the New Discourses event 'Saving American Liberty,' Michael O’Fallon argues that global political, corporate, and religious institutions are jointly reshaping Western society through “degrowth” policies, sustainability mandates, and ideological frameworks like ESG and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, which he sees as mechanisms for centralizing control and limiting individual freedom. He contrasts the West’s self-imposed economic

2025/11/26

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 185The Nazi Experiment wasn't just an idea. It was an idea put into practice. Putting that idea into practice started with a movement, but it required a totalitarian state apparatus to fully implement, to tremendous disaster. What was Adolf Hitler's real vision for the Nazi State? He makes it plain: the primary, if not sole, purpose of the state is to protect and improve the race. That is, Hitler's state wasn't ethnonationalist as a matter of

Why Fascist Economies Can't Work

New Discourses ·

2025/11/21

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 136When it comes to economic organization (not necessarily political organization), we might be tempted to ask why it is that Fascist economies don't work. It seems like they might, after all, once you understand that they still enable what might be called a "deferred free enterprise" system, allowing for the profit motive after the government gets its own. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay (featuring a post by Logan Lancing) dives into the

Big Government Can't Produce Abundance

New Discourses ·

2025/11/19

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 135Government can do many things in the world, but one thing it cannot do is produce abundance and prosperity. Why not? Its incentives are all wrong, and over time they tend to get worse. In this probing episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay dives into the intrinsic issues with government when it comes to creating abundance and prosperity, explaining why these are the product of a "problem-solving theory of value" that government is poorly incentivized

The Essence of Critical Theory

New Discourses ·

2025/11/17

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 134At the center of Woke thinking is critical theory. So, what is it? In short, critical theory is a tool for delegitimizing a real thing for not being some kind of sociopolitical ideal thing that cannot even exist. The way it works is by holding the real thing up to the standards of an imaginary ideal rather than against the contingencies of reality and criticizing it with the aim of breaking people's faith in it, simply for existing in reality. It's a wicked tool

2025/11/14

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 184At the center of the Nazi Experiment is the Jewish Question, undeniably. The Jewish Question amounts to asking "what should we do with the Jews?" in this case, in Europe. Across the entirety of his project, Adolf Hitler had a straightforward answer, though the specifics differed: get rid of them, all of them. In fact, he proudly campaigned for himself on the project of "solving the Jewish Question," not just on matters of German national pride

The Iterated Motte and Bailey Strategy

New Discourses ·

2025/11/10

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 133Over the last few years, much has been said about the "motte and bailey" rhetorical strategy, which is a dishonest way in which postmodernist, Woke, and other manipulative people argue. First described by Nicholas Shackel in a 2005 paper, "On the Vacuity of Postmodern Methodology," it has become a standard explanation for the Woke era in the last few years. In Counter Wokecraft

Twentieth Century Woke—Left and Right | James Lindsay

New Discourses ·

2025/11/07

Saving American Liberty, Session 4What does "Woke" mean? James Lindsay, founder of New Discourses, says it is an awakening to a "sociognostic" belief structure. What is that, and how does it manifest in different contexts? In this third talk from the Saving American Liberty learning seminar in Dallas, Texas, hosted by New Discourses on August 22-23, 2025, Lindsay explains the concept in considerable detail. He also applies it to the "20th century" (or, Modernist) mode of thinking to reveal that

Saving American Liberty, Session 3What are "Left" and "Right," politically? Where does political extremism come from, on both sides? These are crucially important questions in our present era of extreme polarization that only seems to be increasing past any sense of a possible limit. To address these questions in a deep and fresh way, from August 22-23, 2025, in Dallas, Texas, New Discourses was proud to host a learning seminar event called Saving American Liberty, featuring talks from New

The Difference Between Left and Right

New Discourses ·

2025/10/22

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 132There are several differences between the Left and the Right on ideological, philosophical, and political grounds, but in plain practical terms, there's another obvious difference. The Left has radicalized in a way conservatives have not, and in proportions that conservatives have not. Why is that? The answer is that the Left has succumbed to the blinding temptation for power far more than the rest of us have, and it has driven them mad. The thing is, while
