Summary

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 54 At the very beginning of the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson wrote that we hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal and that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, among them life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Progressives, Communists, and the Woke have used this phrasing to drive a wedge in American society for over a century, provoking precisely the type of reaction they need to carry out their plans. Are all men really created equal? Aren't some people smarter, stronger, faster? What about slavery? In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay dives into the question and explains that in terms of basic political authority, yes, all men are created equal, and this is the keystone of a just, free, and prosperous society.

part of the solution, which I'm going to locate largely in the preamble to the declaration

0:32.8

of independence.

0:33.8

So, I actually want to talk about this in a few episodes and I'm going to start with

0:38.8

one of the curious phrases in the declaration at the very beginning, which by the way,

0:44.7

let me just tell you, people are asking me all the time, James, what do I do?

0:48.3

They always say that they're looking for solutions.

0:50.6

They don't want to accept that the solution is at hand, that the American experiment is

0:55.8

in was the solution.

0:57.6

They don't want to accept that we're going to get our country back, our societies back,

1:02.2

the West back, through slow incremental progress that requires wide-scale cultural renewal,

1:09.2

which means understanding who we are and where we came from.

1:12.1

They don't want to accept that this is going to be a lot of small tasks done by lots of

1:16.7

people everywhere.

1:18.9

And so they don't want to accept that solutions look like things like I'm about to suggest.

1:23.8

Here's something you can do.

1:25.2

If you want to start fighting effectively against the woke, it's very simple.
