Summary

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 81 We all hear about the pendulum swinging in politics. We're also all aware that the pendulum is currently pushed very far Left, leading people to suspect it will swing back hard soon; indeed, maybe too hard. It's important to understand how Work Marxists and other Leftists throughout history have made intentional and productive use of the pendulum swinging. It is their style to arrange affairs so that when the pendulum swings back, it has also moved position so that instead of striking them, it strikes another one of their targets. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down this strategic use of "the principle of polarity" so we can strategize more successfully and avoid predictable traps.

0:34.3	swing back to the right. And you probably think that I'm going to say something along the lines of that
0:40.0	sets us up for a huge amount of momentum that might get hijacked and taken in the wrong way,
0:45.3	the wrong direction.
0:46.3	In fact, maybe we're going to flip into something more fascist, as has happened repeatedly
0:50.6	throughout history, but I want to talk about something a little more subtle instead.
0:54.4	I think people are not maybe aware enough of that danger that as they need to be,
0:59.7	as the momentum against the woke increases, it will be a real risk.
1:05.4	It will be a real challenge to prevent us getting carried away with ourselves,
1:09.5	getting caught up by a charismatic leader, especially if we get to the point where it seems very dangerous and
1:13.7	very desperate and the pendulum swinging and kind of that classic sense.
1:17.8	But I want you to understand that not only does that advantage the other side because they just need the constitutional
1:26.2	system that we have destroyed.
1:28.2	They don't care whether it gets destroyed from left or right or both at the same time.
