Summary

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 90 Regardless of the issue (BLM, Drag Queen Story Hour, Pride, or a college uprising), the ideological totalism of Woke Marxism uses classic tactics to advance itself. One of those is a kind of manipulation through what is called "planned spontaneity," a clear oxymoron. Planned spontaneity is a "mystical manipulation," in the words of Robert Jay Lifton, that gives the totalizing cult the appearance of incredible, widespread, organic support, if not omniscience. The current pro-Hamas (or pro-Palestine) student uprisings are no exception. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this phenomenon through the lens of Lifton's work, particularly indicating how the current Red-Guard student uprisings fit into this fake, manipulative frame of reference.

of these that I've ever recorded.

I think it's incredibly important that we get a message out

0:32.0

as widely as possible and into our heads as deeply as possible.

0:35.8

And that is that the stuff that you're seeing with Woke is not real.

0:38.9

I mean, it's happening, that's really happening, but it's fake.

0:42.5

And you need to understand this.

0:44.5

These protests, for example, that we're seeing all over,

I need a word, but these uprisings

that we're seeing all over college campuses today.

0:54.8

Right now, they're, of course, geared about Palestine and Hamas

and the global Intifada.

1:01.7

And they're all about socialist intifada as a matter of fact there's a

1:06.9

a ton of it you can say oh it's about Islam it's well there's an alliance between

1:11.9

militant Islam and between the socialists, but here it's primarily

1:15.8

about socialism. I mean you're going to have a little bit of both, but that's not what I want to get

1:19.8
