Summary

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 50 Woke Marxism is a cult. In being a cult, it operates like an "initiate society," and the initiation into the cult is largely but not wholly accomplished through its deliberate misuse of language. As it turns out, this is a pretty consistent feature of cults, especially gnostic cults like Woke Marxism is. In technical language, gnostic cults are esoteric cults, and their language often has two meanings at once. One of these meanings is the everyday meaning they want you to think of when they use words like diversity, inclusion, belonging, sustainability, and so on: the exoteric meaning. The other is the coded meaning cult members understand: the esoteric or hidden meaning. Understanding this feature of Woke language manipulation not only clarifies their behavior but also makes clear that we're dealing with a cult. Join host James Lindsay for this episode of New Discourses Bullets where he explains this feature of the Woke Marxist cult.

Hello, everybody. It's James Lindsay. You're listening to new discourses, Bullets. This is a short

0:16.6

form podcast where I give you one topic relevant to woke Marxism that you need to know so that

0:21.8

we can beat it, kind of summarize like a bullet point. That's my cute pun. Bullets. Ha ha. Okay,

0:27.4

so you know how the woke seem to have double meaning, language for everything like diversity seems

0:34.6

to mean not people who are actually diverse in any meaningful sense, but people who all have

0:40.3

critical consciousness, but maybe look different. So they have the critical race perspective on race,

0:46.4

and maybe there are different races, or maybe they're not. You ever notice that, you know, like

0:52.4

diversity doesn't mean diversity. It seems to have two meanings. Inclusion seems to weirdly mean

0:58.1

exclusion and inclusive spaces, one that excludes all kinds of things and does a lot of censorship,

1:02.9

so that certain people wouldn't feel like they can speak up, because what it actually means is that

1:08.6

that people who support views that they say uphold systemic power are making it exclusive for

1:17.1

other people, so those people have to be excluded and suppressed and censored, or it's kind of a

1:22.6

repressive tolerant sort of situation. So inclusion means inclusion, but exclusion at the same time,

1:28.0

and then belonging seems weird. It's like, yeah, we just want to place where everybody feels welcome

1:33.7

and like they fit in and all that, but then it definitely doesn't feel that way for a lot of people,

1:38.4

because what belonging actually means is that you're going to only the people who agree with the

1:44.2

cult doctrine, the woke doctrine, or the ones that get to feel like they belong, and everybody

1:48.5

else feels awkward until they do, and there's always that two meaning thing. Okay, that's what we're

1:54.2

going to talk about, the double meaning language. There's a fancy word for this. We don't have to get

1:58.2

into this. I know we love learning new words, but I'm going to use two words, one of which you've

2:02.1

probably heard, and one of which you probably don't know, but they're related to one another.

2:07.0

And what I'm actually going to do is say the reason you guys know that there is this double meaning
