Summary

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 130 The hard part of building and protecting civilization is that we have to do it while maintaining the values and principles of civilization. That means while the enemies of civilization can run amok and break rules, norms, policies, laws, and expectations, we cannot. We have to do everything by the book. It's not just that we need to on a matter of principle, though. We also must as a matter of strategy. In a two-tiered system like the Woke Left has set up for itself, it gets to excuse itself for breaking the rules, but we will not have that luxury. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down the need for us to win by the book so we can preserve the book. Join him to learn how to fight for things worth fighting for.

Hey everybody. It's James Lindsay. You're listening to New Discourses Bullets where I get a short bullet point like summary of a single topic from Woke that we need to understand so we can defeat it.

0:20.0

Thank you for your support of

0:22.0

new discourses. Be sure to like and subscribe and tell your friends. I want to talk to you about a

0:27.5

very important topic today and that very important topic is that when we fight back against

0:31.9

woke, everything we do has to be by the book. Everything has to be above board. We don't have the luxury of being able to bend the rules in our own favor or to break the rules or to invent new rules so that we can get things done. And there are a couple of reasons. The main reason is that the left is in in fact, masters of propaganda. We are not as good.

0:58.6

People who tell the truth, let me be clear. It's not about left and right here. People whose

1:02.7

orientation is toward the truth are not good at propaganda. And they also tend not to be good

1:08.8

at understanding the power of propaganda or the degrees to which propaganda will be used against them.

1:15.9

So what will happen reliably following things that we've discussed many times in the past, like from Beautiful Trouble or Sal Olenski's Rules for Radicals, the principle, your target's reaction is your real action.

1:29.6

Their goal is to get you to react badly and to do your enemies work, or sorry, do the media's

1:36.5

work for them.

1:37.6

So they're good at writing a script and a story and a narrative that's going to be fed to

1:42.9

the media to interpret everything that happens in a way that's going to be fed to the media to interpret everything

1:44.6

that happens in a way that's favorable to them and escalate strategically. They know what they're

1:51.3

doing. They're activists. They're trying to provoke reactions. We've gone over those principles

1:56.1

from Beautiful Trouble and Saul Olinsky's Rules for Radicals, which by the way is dedicated to Lucifer.

2:02.1

If you didn't know that, it's worth knowing. So we've been over that stuff before.

2:07.4

What you have to understand is that if we decide that the rules, the constitution, the law,

2:13.2

the rule of law, whatever, don't apply, then that will be used against us. Not it can be used

2:21.4

against us. It will be used against us. Look, for example, at how woke activists, and this is

2:27.2

true left and right, but the left is more relevant because they have more power, more institutional

2:31.6

strength, and so on, look at anywhere that they've taken a position of power and you try to remove them on
