Summary

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 161 In many respects, things were not going well in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s in the wake of the First World War. The population was humiliated and impoverished, distrusted throughout Europe, and riddled with various problems of social and cultural degeneracy, not least rampant corruption and the relentless manipulations of Marxism. To address these problems, a grand experiment was performed under the direction of Adolf Hitler, the Nazi Experiment. This Nazi Experiment was not just catastrophic but horrific, rightly an icon of the possible depths of human evil. Today, some would have us look at that experiment for inspiration, suggesting its terrible, monstrous evil mistells the tale. In this daring episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads directly from the source of the vile beginnings of the Nazi Experiment, the second chapter of Adolf Hitler's infamous Mein Kampf (https://der-fuehrer.org/meinkampf/english/Mein%20Kampf%20(Ford%20Translation).pdf). He does so to highlight the fatal errors Hitler was making even then, which he sees being repeated across certain rising sectors of the American and Western Right today. Join him for another hard-hitting episode that makes abundantly clear why Never Again is now. New book!

0:00.0	Hey everybody, it's James Lindsay, and you were listening to the New Discourses podcast.
0:24.3	And I've got something I've wanted to do for a very long time to do today.
0:29.5	I'm going to read to you a chapter from Adolf Hitler's Mein Kampf,
0:35.7	which translates, of course, as my struggle from the German.
0:40.5	I've wanted to do this for a couple of years.
0:43.6	I think I regret that I haven't done this, given how things have been shaping up.
0:47.9	Maybe you've heard some of the other recent podcasts, either about the woke right or never again is now,
0:53.9	path to de-radicalization.
0:55.8	Obviously, I'm focusing a little bit on Nazi material now,
1:01.1	not so much woke communism, but woke nationalism.
1:05.0	If you don't like the term woke right,
1:07.2	you can go with woke nationalism.
1:08.7	The Nazis were certainly woke nationalists. They had a
1:12.6	very woke take on what the nation represents and how they were going to organize the nation as such.
1:20.1	So whether you like nationalism or not as a kind of political view or as a sentiment or even as a political project.
1:29.3	The Nazis represent woke nationalism,
1:32.3	which is one of the worst expressions of nationalism of all time.
1:37.3	I've wanted to record this because this second chapter,
1:42.3	which is for those of you that followed my work for a long
1:45.3	time, this is not the chapter we rewrote for the grievance studies affair as intersectional
1:52.5	feminism. That was chapter 12. Chapter 2 is titled Years of Learning and Suffering in Vienna.
1:59.8	And this is the chapter where, in my opinion, Hitler explains the motivations that led him to the
