| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody, it's James Lindsay, you're listening to new discourses, Bullets, where I give |
| 0:15.0 | you a short pull-it-point type summary of a single topic from woke Marxism so that we |
| 0:20.8 | know how to beat it. |
| 0:23.0 | And I actually kind of want to talk about how we win today. |
