Hey everybody. This is James Lindsay. You're listening to another episode of New Discourse's

Bullets, where I give a short bullet point like summary of a single topic relevant to woke

Marxism that we need to

understand so we can stop it. And I want to talk about a phenomenon today or a tactic today

The point being that you can actually tell truths and be misleading about the context of those

truths such that you use telling the truth to tell a lie to mislead. And you'll hear this a lot,
