The Thing You Run Into When Your Beliefs Are False |...

New Discourses ·

2024/11/26

In this October 2019 lecture at the conference 'Speaking Truth to Social Justice' in London, James Lindsay presented a compelling critique of critical social justice and its ideological foundation in critical theory. He argued that this worldview fundamentally rejects objective truth, reason, and evidence-based methods, which are essential for genuine progress. According to Lindsay, critical theorists prioritize “strategic” theories over true or false ones, seeking to advance political agendas

The EVILution of Communism Workshop, Session 3Communism is a religious view that has evolved and adapted over the last two centuries, including right up to the present day. Understanding the developments and threats in our present world requires understanding what Communism really is, especially in its Marxist variants, and how it has developed and changed over the years. In response to this need, James Lindsay of New Discourses held a four-lecture workshop series on the EVILution of Communism in

2024/11/14

In October 2019, James Lindsay, Peter Boghossian, Helen Pluckrose, and filmmaker Mike Nayna gathered in London for a panel moderated by Michael O’Fallon to reflect on the infamous "Grievance Studies" project (https://grievanceproject.com/), often called "Sokal Squared." This provocative project involved writing and submitting intentionally absurd papers filled with ideological jargon to academic journals. Their aim was to demonstrate how deeply critical social justice ideologies had compromised

Woke for Dummies

2024/11/07

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 151 What is "Woke"? What is its relationship to "Social Justice"? Why did so many people explain Woke as "Critical Social Justice" for several years? In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes you into the book that first opened his eyes to what "Woke" really is: Ozlem Sensoy and Robin DiAngelo's Is Everyone Really Equal? (first edition) (https://amzn.to/4eHH5Ed). This book could truly serve as an eye-opening "Woke for

Be a Leader or Be a Supporter

2024/11/06

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 103 In the fight against Woke Marxism, there is no sitting out anymore. Too much is on the line. That means everyone who realizes what's going on in our countries and around the world has a simple choice to make: be a leader or be a supporter. Leaders have to lead, and they need supporters, not merely followers. It's up to you to figure out which one you have the capacities to be, and where, and to take up that mantle. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host

What is the Woke Right?

New Discourses ·

2024/10/28

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 102Something is rotten in the state of the conservative movement. Namely, a broad and diffuse coalition of radical Right-wing elements has arisen and begun to mature bearing unmistakable hallmarks of Woke behavior while claiming Right-wing status and conservative values. Some have called it the "Woke Right," which in certain ways is a very good name for it, although "Right Hand of the Left" is also good. In this first introductory episode on the topic, host James

The Basics of Cultural Marxism

New Discourses ·

2024/10/26

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 150 Cultural Marxism is a challenging term that refers to a broad Leftist social phenomenon that took place in the West through the twentieth century into the present. Based upon but modifying the Communist religion of Karl Marx, Western (Cultural) Marxism sought to find a way to infiltrate and seize the means of production of Western Civilizational culture in the hopes of opening it up to socialism (or Communism). In the 1910s through the 1930s,

The DARVO Of "You're Divisive!"

New Discourses ·

2024/10/03

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 101DARVO is an acronym that refers to a particular abusive behavior that applies when the abuser is caught or called out. It stands for Deny, Attack, and Reverse the roles of Victim and Offender: DARVO. DARVO takes many forms, but in wedge operations it very frequently takes the form of being divisive and then accusing the people who call it out of being divisive. It fits the mold: Deny: "I'm not divisive!" Attack: "You're divisive!" in such a way that it Reverses the

Lenin and the State

2024/09/23

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 149Vladimir Lenin established the Bolshevik Party in 1912 to seize control of the socialist movement in Russia and to plan and execute a violent revolution against the Tsar, and by 1917 he was successful in this attack. Also in 1917, on the eve of his victory, he wrote his thoughts about the organization of the state and how the revolution should proceed, both to box out his socialist competitors and to establish a theoretical baseline drawing

21st Century Communism

2024/09/19

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 100 Communism hasn't died, despite what many would have you believe. It has evolved and adapted for the 21st century. What you see under the CCP in China, that's the Chinese Communist Party, today and what we deal with under ESG and the UN Agenda 2030 in the West is 21st Century Communism, which appears to fulfill Marx, not contradict him, at least in certain ways. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay spends a few minutes to explain to you how

New Discourses ·

2024/09/17

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 148 Karl Marx characterized Communism as "the negation of the negation," which is a peculiar turn of phrase he borrowed from his theoretical predecessor G.W.F. Hegel. What that means is that propertied societies, whether slave, feudal, or capitalist, negate our innate Communist ("social") nature, and then Communism in turn negates capitalism as the highest form of development of the productive organizational modes of society. Well, the negation of

Don't Trust Woke Language

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 99If 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

The Unhappy Rebellion of Radical Joy

2024/09/03

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 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

Woke Isn't Insane; It's Evil

New Discourses ·

2024/08/26

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 98We 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

Lenin and the Brutal Magic of Communism

New Discourses ·

2024/08/16

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 146 One of the great paradoxes of Communism is that in the end, the state is supposed to "wither away," leaving a stateless, classless society in which there is high functioning and little or no want. This circumstance is presented as different to the other stages of history, which are said to proceed through revolutionary overthrow of the existing system. In particular, socialism is meant to be born out of capitalism through a violent proletarian

Teilhard de Chardin and the Religion of Progress

New Discourses ·

2024/08/12

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 145 Leftism is religious. In fact, it's occult-mystical religious, a vast suite of denominations of "transformative" religions of "Progress." Progress toward what, though? Higher consciousness, in fact, collective consciousness, which is supposedly man's true but forgotten nature. The goal: to evolve humanity, collectively, to become master of the universe, which is to say God. This religion and its aspects are fully visible throughout all the

DEI is "Speaking Bitterness"

New Discourses ·

2024/07/26

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 97In Mao's China, the population was turned against itself through relentless campaigns known as "Speaking Bitterness." Of course, this was prompted and forced by the Communists, and it worked to their advantage by tearing apart the fabric of the communities they were "transforming." We have been doing the same thing here in the West, primarily at work and in our schools, under names like "DEI training," "unconscious bias training," "Social-Emotional Learning," and,
