Woke Isn't Insane; It's Evil
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 98
We 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 different goals than the rest of us. In fact, their goals are, in the words of Herbert Marcuse, to "protest against the totality of a well-functioning, prosperous society." Join James for this important episode to understand this crucial point.

Lenin and the Brutal Magic of Communism
zhlédnutí 40KPřed dnem
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 exis...

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."

The goal: to evolve humanity, collectively, to become master of ...

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 97 In 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 sc...

Never has that been more evident than in the last few years, at least in Western nations, and the result has been a momentous pushback against them. The Parents Rights movement is the beating heart of the resistance to Woke Marxism, and it's changing the world for the better. The Woke Marxists,...

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 143 Canada is in a lot of trouble, but few of us realize how far back the trouble really began.

Though his ambition...

Reflexivity: Leftism in the 21st Century

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 96 Dialectical Leftism doesn't just do the old Marxist thing anymore. There's a new dialectical game in town that allows Marxists worldwide to transcend classical Marxism, including in the Chinese Communist Party over the last few decades. That method is called "reflexivity," as it was outlined as a so-called "shoelace dialectic" by George Soros in his famous book Th...

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 95 To be successful at pushing back at Woke Marxism, you have to know some Woke Marxism and know it pretty well. It's not enough to have a tacit sense of what "Woke" or its programs are about. You have to be somewhat knowledgeable. Leftists are extremely good at discrediting their opposition by making them look dumb (or ignorant, or uninformed), evil, or crazy, and t...

English are paying for their wokeness with their own blood.
Finally, James gets most of it. Finally Woke believes religion is created by needs of the people. If they compeltwly destroy everything about Christianity, they can destroy God, and they won't feel guilty about sin any more, then they can create the God they want to worship
There's only two kinds that push it. 2% that know exactly what it is and the 98% that thinks "it means being king" aka useful idiots
They’ll dismiss criticisms of ‘evil’ as ‘good and evil are social constructs’ Good and evil is theological by nature
Thank you for stating this. This needs to be repeated again and again until all the Fox watching electricians and Trump trusting farmers finally realized that their opposition, who literally study West-hating revolutionary theory are not "well intentioned but naive".
What chin? What jawbone? Leftist physiognomy.
As a Coastal California kid in the 50s and 60s I heard the term "Counter Revolutionary" many times from the avant-garde. I think Leftists wrongly use the term "Counter Revolutionary", when they support the same age old tired and re-named systems of Monarchy, one small group with total control over others. Marxist systems of any scale just promote the idea of Concentrated Control (without oversight) over the masses. The American Constitution is revolutionary in history, it's the most advanced version of a Personal Freedoms System that hasn't been crushed, so far. So anyone wanting to do away with our Constitutional Democratic Republic/Constitution are the "Counter Revolutionary Agents". GOD bless you for adding the link for the printable pdf.
Been saying this all along . Woke progressives are not uninformed or crazy . They are wrong and evil , but intelligent in their own way . Sly , cruel , devious , diabolical, cunning … intentionally so .
The WOKIES are BATSHIT CRAZY LIKE A FOX, AND SHOULD NEVER be underestimated!!!
JL is amazing,
The will to power, as the modern age from Hobbes to Nietzsche understood it, far from being a characteristic of the strong, is, like envy and greed, among the vices of the weak, and possibly even their most dangerous one. Power corrupts indeed when the weak band together in order to ruin the strong, but not before. Hannah Arendt Where a reputation for intolerance is more feared than vice itself, all manner of evil may be expected to flourish. Theodore Dalrymple
100% agree. I think people say it's insane, crazy etc, because they don't want to believe it.
Woke isn't insane; it's evil, you say, since (in part; oversimplifying here) the destruction it causes is deliberate. Of course it is... the subversion of the cornerstones of western (and in particular American) society was the goal of the Soviet Union throughout the Cold War. They fed us lies that were designed to break our institutions, like the nuclear family, in order to destabilize our culture, to penetrate our self-confidence that served as a shield against their efforts. When the USSR fell, the west took its eye off the ball, and those subversive elements were able to step up their efforts in plain view without anyone taking it seriously. Was what the Soviets did evil? Certainly. Ronald Reagan did not err when he referred to the Soviet Union as the evil empire. But having a grounding in objective reality was an effective ward against the Soviet lies, which was why they worked to hard to break that grounding and render the very idea as problematic. Anyone who understands human nature can easily look at "from each according to his ability, to each according to his need" is simply the tragedy of the commons waiting to happen, and that's far from being the most absurd bit about Communism. The number and the density of errors, lies, misstatements, or whatever you would want to call them, in the Communist Manifesto, is remarkable. No one with a grounding in reality or with even the most pedestrian level of critical thinking ability would come away thinking it made sense. If the people who perpetrated communism were aware that it was a bunch of garbage when they were pushing it on others, they are evil. If they believed it too, they are evil and insane. While I cannot see into anyone's head, many "fellow travelers" appear to actually believe it. How do you define insanity? Movements that deny the validity or existence of objective truth, where "truth" is simply the narrative you have been told to believe that replaces (for you) objective reality, are based on delusion. Objective reality exists, whether or not one chooses to believe in it. If one chooses not to, or, should I say, if one is deluded enough not to, then he's insane. Delusions are insanity. People sometimes ask how one is to win a debate against the "woke" when they have set up a decidedly asymmetric playing field. If you refuse to give in to their premises, you're demonstrating the prevalence of [insert the kind of oppression you're committing here, which is assumed to be there if you are ever debating a wokie in the first place], so they win. If you accept their premise, they win. Of course, the answer is that you're not meant to be able to win. When objective reality plays no role, you're fighting a ghost. If you play their game, they win, because it's a game where they have already (more or less) made "we win, you lose" one of the rules of that game. It's evil, of course. The people who wield this as a weapon are evil. But there are those who also believe it. They're evil in their actions, but believing any of that tripe can't ever be anything less than insane. There's no "your" reality or "my" reality. There's reality, and while none of us have a complete grasp on it, it continues to exist, unconcerned about whether or not one believes anything. I have come to think that even those who were aware that [Wokism, Communism, critical theory... you name it] was all a bunch of crap, that it was a lie (or rather a huge series of lies) to gain an advantage on the enemy, come to believe it too. They believe the things they have made up to bamboozle us. There's less cognitive dissonance that way. They are, by that stage, insane, because their narrative is insane (by design), and sane people do not believe insane things. Belief in any of these things is based on delusion and on things that cannot be objectively true, just as a person born with X and Y chromosomes and a pair of testes is male, and cannot be otherwise. There's "I accept that" and "I'm delusional, and thus insane." Only two options. Evil and insane are not mutually exclusive. They're quite often comorbid. Insanity doesn't imply otherwise.
Lindsay trains Hsing - I. I wish I could say that's the strangest thing I have heard today but it isn't. Chinese internal arts are fun. They're good exercise but not useful for fighting.
Have you watched hail Caesar? (Coen Brothers) Other movie that I loved very much is The barbarian Invasions and it is interesting to analyze how the older characters lived their earlier adulthood by tagging themselves as the different leftist trends of that period (very hedonistic, btw). And what consequences did it have for their adult children. This iteration is so mediocre that it astounds me how they have infiltrated everything. And the “adults “ that are participating in this are very infantile in their beliefs and behavior.
"THE FIRST STEP IN RENOVATION IS DEMOLITION!" I've been saying this for a decade.
The poor are the "good" ones - I see this with homelessness. I do videos about it and people just DO NOT get it. I also did a short about speaking bitterness after listening to this podcast. Thanks James.
I agree with the perspective shift, that one is obvious to me, but I don't quite get what woke has to do with Marx. In my humble understanding Marx (among other things) suggested a set of tools, that one can choose to use (or not) to analyze a society, by looking at the relationship between producers and owners. Socialism meant having worker-owned companies or co-ops, like e.g. the Mondragon with 70k employees as of 2024. Since those ideas appeal to many people they had to be subverted by the rich, powerful, and "evil" to further their goals which often are quite the opposite of the original meaning. Just like "representative democracy" -- sounds nice, let's do that! then some hundreds of years later: wait, the interests of the majority aren't represented and I don't get to have a say in the most important things! By using those terms in the way the elite intends them to be used, you play into their hand and deprive yourself of some quite interesting ideas and concepts. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I'm glad to hear you articulate this. The paradigm shift actually occurred for me quite some time ago, when I realized that they were attacking absolutely EVERYTHING -- not just western societal institutions and norms but even things that seemed inarguably good, such as the value and importance of truth, beauty, math, and health. When I saw that, I realized that this wasn't just the actions of some misguided or unhinged people -- it was concerted attacks at a fundamental level. And given that the people carrying out the attacks were rejecting ALL possible areas of common ground -- such as the value of truth -- then they had NO intention of making the current system better. Rather, they were intentionally creating widespread destabilization and chaos in order to ELIMINATE the current system.
That the destruction is deliberate is the only explanation that actually makes any sense.
Many people still don’t understand we are at war.
Bro, stop it wake up. Or be at peace with the coming loss and destruction. Essentially everything on the corporate media is complete half truth propaganda and as well a big fucking distraction for the opposition. If we don’t seriously wake up he’s not going to win. We MUST have a secure, and transparent electoral process. The only reason he only won in 2016 was a complete accident. A very simple one. They didn’t think that many of us would ACTUALLY vote for him. ( we talk about how out of touch these people are constantly, remember? lol) Until the process is secured and transparent they’re never going to let him near the white house again you need to wake up. Most republicans aren’t real just as the democrats. Most are part of a singular party and just spout off whatever empty platitude or wedge issue in order to keep the mass public division and lack of communication as well to just simply appease their various bases to keep them thinking they’re actually voting for someone who represents their plights and struggles… So that they stay enthused and continue going through the theatre of voting even though we all know in our gut it doesn’t matter the slightest. No matter how many people vote for Trump they’re going to just make more for her, especially being in power now making it all the more easy. The public will do NOTHING even though they’ll know the election was stolen once again and proving how their votes don’t even matter. Because they don’t. Right now. It will be 2020 all over again. Wake up bro. Wake up. Don’t lie to yourself either the Trump supporters won’t do anything. We all know it. And the left has lost its mind so even if they did wake up they wouldn’t do anything about it either. We just watched them completely cancel their voter bases ability to vote for a candidate for how many fucking years in a row? Oh yeah. 15. lol wake up man seriously. ( I keep saying this to TIM and others no one is wakin up. ) lol oh well.
Allahu Wokebar
Evil? You bet. One of the definitional transformations needed is to recognize that when lefties say 'reform' (as in 'fundamental reform' of this and that, they mean "transform" (aka destroy and replace), from the traditional Western 'democratic' (i.e., fully diverse opinions matter) to the globalist Marxist communist (top-down authoritarian).
And how are those that want socialism, and want to control everyone, going to control a certain culture that cannot be controlled and that they have brought in to help with their end game???
It's impossible to understand the world without realising that there is a Jewish Supremacist Mafia Cult with a lot power.
Many "activists" seem to sincerely believe they're crusading for a good cause. They're misguided, but still believe they're doing good. This is evidenced by activists who abandon the woke ship. I'm not sure if evil is the best descriptor for most of them, but, at some point, they have the responsibility to recognize that what they're doing is destructive.
It’s a sad all around on our educated class that they are pushing woke.
Of course, I agree with you, Mr. Lindsey it is an evil ideology. I think where the disconnect is, is in the implementation. The vast majority of the people who are doing it don’t necessarily agree or realize that the goal is to destroy everything around them. That’s where the insanity part comes, they are insanely following something without realizing it will be their own destruction
These same forces of chaos and destruction are within each of us, warring for control. We shouldn't be surprised that this is a battle between good and evil. It is familiar to each of us if we're honest.
OY VEY!
Woke is evil but woke people are victims (for the greater part). They're not the enemy. "Our battle is NOT with flesh and blood but with spiritual forces..." Point taken though.
How YOU feel is up to you. Whether the organization that hires you can effectively employ your talents is a completely different issue, and it often comes down to the personality and capabilities of your direct supervisor - can they enable and engage you and your talents in the work of the organization or not? For far too many the answer is they cannot.
It's a tool being used to destroy the West to avenge the loss of WW2.
Thanks for this, James. What you describe has frustrated me to the point of shutting out the noise and reducing the time spent interacting online. I have mixed feelings about responding this way, not out of FOMO but out of a sense of obligation to do my part in keeping up the pressure.
As Richard Paul would say, "Clarity is the gateway standard."
i get what you're saying, but "evil" is such a poor choice of words. it's like saying its "unholy" or "black magic". some ideas are just as bad ideas, that when ordinary people hold bad ideologies it can lead to bad outcomes. just leave it as "Woke Isn't Insane; It's Just Dumb"
