Summary

This episode of the OnlySubs Podcast with James Lindsay is available for FREE! To get access to all past and future episodes, consider becoming a contributor. Learn more: https://newdiscourses.com/2020/12/new-subscribers-only-podcast/ According to my (fairly hilarious) Wikipedia entry, my friend and business associate Michael O'Fallon is a "Christian Nationalist." Of course, that's not true! Just look at how he's one of the leading voices challenging the new idiotic push for a "Christian Nationalist" movement in America right now. In this episode of my subscribers-only podcast, James Lindsay OnlySubs, I discuss this issue and take you back behind the shadowy curtains and tell you a bit about how Michael and I came to do so much work together. There's an important implication in this story regarding the misguided, so-called "Christian Nationalism" movement. I hope you'll join me and hear it out. -James Lindsay Order James Lindsay's new book, The Marxification of Education: https://amzn.to/3RYZ0tY Support New Discourses: https://newdiscourses.com/support Follow New Discourses on other platforms: https://newdiscourses.com/subscribe Follow James Lindsay: https://linktr.ee/conceptualjames © 2023 New Discourses.

0:19.9	only podcast, which means you're a contributor, and I am therefore appreciative of you. I know
0:24.8	I've not been putting out many of these lately, but let's do another one. I want to ask
0:28.9	a question or go with a question. It's kind of a thing, right? Let me actually see if I can
0:33.2	pull it up quickly. I'm going to go to my Wikipedia entry. The question is, is Michael O'Fallon?
0:38.4	Everybody knows now. I work with Michael O'Fallon sovereign nations and whatnot, right? And so,
0:44.8	is Michael O'Fallon a Christian nationalist? There's an article that just came out in the Atlantic
0:49.9	the other day that clearly used my Wikipedia entry as a source. That's embarrassing for somebody,
0:55.9	isn't it? Claiming that I am, you know, this kind of extremist and extremo files love me and
1:02.5	blah, blah, blah. It's pretty ridiculous. It's kind of hilarious. It compares me to Christopher
1:06.8	Hitchens, which is a huge compliment, frankly, and talks about how I used to be on the left in an
1:15.1	academic and blah, blah, blah. And now I work with Christian nationalist Michael O'Fallon.
1:18.4	Is Michael O'Fallon a Christian nationalist? Here's where they get this hard hitting brilliantly
1:22.8	true information. Actually, the short paragraph about me in the paper, in the essay in the Atlantic
1:28.8	only mentions like two or three facts about me. And it looks like they just took them straight
1:32.5	off my Wikipedia entry. But here's what is Lindsay is the founder of the website, new discourses.
1:37.4	That's true, which is owned by Christian nationalist commentator Michael O'Fallon.
1:43.4	Okay. It also says that I have appeared three times on comedian Joe Rogan's podcast,

1:52.1	suspended from Twitter when was reinstated in November after Elon Musk's acquisition at Twitter.
1:57.3	That's also true. There's lots of interesting things about me. I have a whole section about how
