I have the enormous privilege of getting to travel all across these United States meeting with people and teaching them about the seemingly bizarre things going on in the world today. Invariably at almost every event in almost every city, I get asked, “What can we do?” with all the emphasis either on the “we” or on the “do.” I’ve taken to replying with a bit of a reversal: “I don’t know; what can you do?” That’s the thing. You have to figure out what you can do, what you have to offer, what you’re good at. Maybe it’s something as complicated as learning this stuff and speaking up about it, technical as building some new infrastructure or pursuing a legal strategy, or as simple as getting together with people and talking about the issues so people don’t feel so alone or doing a bake sale as a fundraiser to support a political campaign for someone who is ready and willing to take a stand. Everybody has something to offer, and you have to ask yourself what you can do because despite all my expertise, I don’t know what you can do. Join me on this episode of James Lindsay OnlySubs, my subscribers-only podcast, to hear this message and hopefully come away feeling inspired to do something good!

I’m interested in reading any current thinker that has an obituary on the web. Another qualifier is the sheer numbers of irrational negative comments Lindsey generates in the chat.
What can anyone do? Research. Become a detective. It’s a jigsaw puzzle. Find and connect the pieces. Very hard work but the only way to resist is to know. Here’s a jigsaw piece that was new to me, American “educator”, Jonathan Kozol.
Written 22 years ago, this article from 2000 sounds exactly like what is being documented on this site New Discourses today. Kozol is yet another antecedent historical strand that reveals Totalitaria’s societal soft conquest via “education” of the young.

“America’s Most Influential—and Wrongest—School Reformer
The nation has eagerly swallowed all of Jonathan Kozol’s prescriptions for what ails the schools. It’s a cure that has made public education less healthy than ever.

“Far from having no influence, Kozol’s best-selling books have defined today’s education-policy orthodoxy. They have convinced many Americans that inner-city minority children are languishing academically only because their schools are segregated and starved for resources by a heartless society, and that therefore teachers should turn their classrooms into agencies for social change. The education establishment has converted these wrongheaded and damaging ideas into action—with disastrous consequences for the very disadvantaged children that Kozol claims to champion…
Kozol’s next two books did much to convince teachers of all races that their proper role is to subvert the mainstream beliefs that make America so racist and uncaring. The politicization of teaching that these books helped bring about inflicts its own measure of harm on minority students, filling their minds not with essential skills but with ideological claptrap that fans resentment of the mainstream culture that students should strive to master…”
ps also read Albert Camus’ “The Rebel” 1956 that links so many pieces of the totalitarian puzzle together — free pdf download of entire book:

Drag completely jumps the shark in this video. Will someone please get some wooden stakes, garlic and direct sunlight and end the nauseatingly talentless societal vampire of embarrassment that is drag once and for all! This video is bag over the head level of CRINGE assholism! Stop the Insanity!!! Just say NO!

One easily corrected item is the technological snafu of having excellent information items but BUT ONLY RELEASING THEM IN JPGs. They should be in a format that is easily copyable, repeatable, and useful in more ways.
Like your excellent – https://imgur.com/mPtweR9
There were previous wonderful informative comms – again, ALL IN JPG. In JPG they cant be proliferated and their message delivered to more useful patterns. Users must have copy/paste capability to learn and teach others.
Thankful for you, James. Lets step up the game now…
Also, build some antibodies to Women’s Tears.

If we fail, here’s what the near future may look like.

Also, anticipate the end of the Kali Yuga (Age of Slaves):

My advice, join the resistance for now and anticipate the equivalent of Khrushchev’s Secret Speech for Western Marxism on further directions (it will be released in the centennial year).
