Hey, everybody, it's James Lindsay, you are listening to the New Discourses podcast,

and I want to dive into something controversial today. Why not? Okay, so a few weeks ago, I think,

let me check the timing on this, actually. It's been a little bit as of when I'm recording

this, so it'll definitely have been a few weeks as of when I'm recording this. So it'll definitely

have been a few weeks ago by the time you hear it. A anonymous account on X that goes by defiantly free, that is Insurrection Barbie. It was over a million followers. Published an article on X, It's a long article, and it turned out to be extraordinarily

controversial. It was posted on March 5th, 26. I'm recording this for what it's worth on March 28th, so

a little over three weeks ago, so it was about right with the timing. And immediately after it came

out, it was controversial, it was exciting. It says on here that this article on its post on X, which is not

the best location for an article, has currently 4.1 million views. I don't know how many people

read the whole thing. Like I said, it's very long. It has almost, I should say, 3,000

shares, it appears.

And so, okay, immediately upon reading this article, it's called The Long Game and the

Conservative Right, it basically talks about a Catholic integralist, which is not to say Catholic,

and we're going to get into that, but an integralist strategic play that involves a lot of the bad actors on what we call the woke right in order

to break and reform the conservative movement, Republican Party, and or MAGA.

I think it's to destroy MAGA and replace it with this and take the Republican Party in a new

direction and the conservative movement that supports Party in a new direction and the conservative

movement that supports it in a new direction.

And I've made this point many, many times.

I read this article.

I don't agree with literally everything in it.

I agree with a lot.
