New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 16
Thanks to Drag Queen Story Hour, groomer schools, and all other things sex, gender, and sexuality pushed by today’s out-of-control Woke Marxist Left, Queer Theory has been pushed front and center in the public consciousness, but what is it? Simply put, Queer Theory is Queer Marxism, which is a Marxist Theory about a form of sociocultural “property” called “normalcy,” “normality,” or “normativity,” that it believes to have been unjustly created and in need of destruction and total abolition. As such, it’s incredibly dangerous and destructive, particularly on the formative and impressionable psychologies of children, whom it targets in particular, often directly through our schools and children’s entertainment programming. On this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down what Queer Theory is, partly in its own foundational words, and illustrates succinctly why it is a form of Queer Marxism that must be stopped. Join him to learn about this important and timely topic!

The “Egghead”, 1950s precursor of today’s “Queer Theory” Woke Elites:
“Egghead: A person of spurious intellectual pretensions, often a professor or the protege of a professor. Fundamentally superficial. Over-emotional and feminine in reactions to any problem. Supercilious and surfeited with conceit and contempt for the experience of more sound and able men. Essentially confused in thought and immersed in mixture of sentimentality and violent evangelism. A doctrinaire supporter of Middle-European socialism as opposed to Greco-French-American ideas of democracy and liberalism. Subject to the old-fashioned philosophical morality of Nietzsche which frequently leads him into jail or disgrace. A self-conscious prig, so given to examining all sides of a question that he becomes thoroughly addled while remaining always in the same spot. An anemic bleeding heart.”
Louis Bromfield “The Triumph of the Egghead” The Freeman (magazine) Dec 1952; quoted in Raymond Aron “The Opium of the Intellectuals” 1955 (sub-chapter “The Intellectuals’ Hell)
To add to my other reply, this viewpoint can not stand up to any examination or hard inspection. Stability is essential for the health of any organism, thus the motivation of these woke queers is coming out of alienation and self loathing. To hate the world is to hates one’s own self as we are all part and parcel of a connected and dynamic universe. That cosmos reveals her secrets to the true seeker. The key here is the base of their outlook; envy, anger, lust and self loathing amongst a few factors. WE have evolved up the evolutionary chain to higher awareness and wisdom from the ages of ancients. By that alone can we measure most inner dynamics of human reason.
Well the crux of it is that these queer theory fanatics will have no access to the intelligent and higher sources of thinking and knowledge of the inner wisdom pathways of the universe since their minds have been captured by a TOXIC and ill logical wave of low energy. All they get for fuel is a poison from the lower worlds of the dark and angry souls that prey on their emotions. They will labor in delusion and squander away theirs lives in filth and emotional terror. They will harm many people including children but it is they who are trapped as prisoners by the negative forces of evil….I say this not in a Biblical context. The Buddhists call it the great wheel of suffering. Only a fool would believe this garbage.
Well they’re particularly against anything normative (weather, animal habits, natural selection, pollination, hell-the birds and the bees and so forth.) It’s a real mess.
That they exist at all never surprised me. That they have been handed the kind of power they now have, and what’s worse, are allowed to keep it? That rivals Houdini in tricky illusional competency. Perhaps we’re so busy eyeballing that elephant over there in the corner that we never notice the tiger hiding in plain sight.
And yes. It is when they came for the kids that all bets were off.
I don’t know how much more gob-smacked I can be by the idea of a ‘war’ on normal, normalcy, normativity, or heteronormativity.
Just for starters, um, just who was it unjustly created by? Ah, any society or culture that may happen to possess creation stories? That’s a sizeable portion of humanity.
Or perhaps long before Lucy fell out of that tree, it had already been firmly implanted into that primeval ancestry that was going to go on to become homo sapiens.
And of course, the normativity that controls the biological blueprints for almost every single living thing on earth – and that’s a lot of living things, with a microscopic percentage of anything at all falling outside that design. What an incredible minority.
But maybe what should disturb me the most is just this.
It is true enough that a gang of Europeans, ’round about sometime early in the 17th century started grabbing Africans and hauling them off to a new world for fun and profit (none for the Africans of course) and that we look back on this history now with an interesting dichotomy in the mix. On one side, we understand the financial part of the deal. The profits. The cheap labor and so on. But we also understand that these were human beings of color abused by whites. And that there was a moral issue buried in the very core of the institution of slavery.
Now let’s bring things forward into the 21st century, and imagine for a moment that a jolly gang of Marxian non-binary otherness, composed of anything imagined or invented that identifies decidedly NOT as normal, normative or in particular, heteronormative (that ‘cis’ term beloved of the snake-hiss) and that they have been handed by government, educational and human resources etc. in the institutions they’ve long-marched through – some serious power to do damage and mischief, much like the slavers 4 centuries ago.
And what do we find? Cancel culture. A butchery of our common language. A grotesque attack on reality (which is what amazes me most of all, I think) but then – a concerted attack on our children. The fact that they get away with this is I think, the story of our times.
But here’s the thing. If we were to apply the same moral approach to the habits and inclinations of this merry gang of Marxians, would we not run up against many of the same ethical criticism as our current historic approach to the institution of slavery, as practised particularly in America? Very mean and nasty people being very mean and nasty to people who did not deserve such treatment (because of bias toward immuntable characteristics, don’t you know.)
So the flavor of my undying contempt lies buried in the fact that these theorists, activators, implemental barbarians are not only not nice people, they possess most of the characteristics of thought and action that place them distinctly into a category of anti-humane. Not that they’re not human. Of course they are – just as human as you or me or anyone else. It is the fact that although I don’t hate them for a sinle immutable characteristic they happen to possess – they do not and cannot return the favor. I’ll leave off with one small thought. If they were, en masse, hated by the majority of normative humanity the way that they appear to hate normative humanity – well then, they simply would not exist. Taking into account all historic records we have of human nature and its inevitable outcomes.
the african slave trade did not start with white europeans — it began centuries earlier with arabic mohammedan slavers who also enslaved millions of white europeans for a thousand years — the English word slave comes from the word Slavic because so many whites Slavs were enslaved by mohammedans– look up the USA Barbary Wars circa 1810 to free white slaves from mohammedans of north africa — also the african slave trade continued in the 21st century in mauritania and libya with no whites of any kind involved — look up ” White Slaves, And Other Inconvenient Historical Facts” by Matt Walsh for a quick overview of this topic — historical selectivism or revisionism is not “the right side of history” and degrades any argument no matter how profound about any topic
Marxism has always been openly a large part of the gay movement since its inception. The Mattachine Society of the 1950s and early “activists” such as Harry Hay were all open communists. At the first “pride” parades in my city in the early 1980s, professionally printed “gay pride” placard protest signs appeared every year with the name International Socialists printed at the bottom. In the mid 1990s, a well known lesbian journalist objected to this and investigated the infiltration of gay by professional socialism and was fired and unpersoned and never heard of in public again. That’s when everything changed from grassroots to iron curtain. When Queer Theory emerged on a broad scale in the late 1990s, full blown Queer Marxism came out of the closet and The Party has called the shots ever since.
The invention of heterosexual-male and child/teen Trans sealed the authoritarian Queer Iron Heel’s total control of gay and the TransQueer world is now ruled by The Party with gays and lesbians who dissent sent to the gulag of excommunication and social ruin. Queer Marxism is a wolf in sheep’s clothing paid by world power brokers to act as shepherds who herd a generation of children, their selfish idiot parents, crazed millennial females with their pusswuss-ninnyboy hus-wimps, all government workers, and others social-status human fecal-stains into the socialist sheeple folds.
The Skid Marx are winning because a) the bulk of the human population are cattle by choice and acquiesce to anything as long as they have Soma and porn, and b) the anti-globalist dissidents are cats in a sack, mutually hating each other while pitting Ayn Rand against Deuteronomy/Corinthians against Mikhail Bakunin against Bhagwan Shree Rajneesh against General George S Patton against Jethro Bodean; all squabbling incoherently like towerbuilders of Babel while despising one another more than their common enemy.
This entire mess will only end with mass world violence when the cattle, deprived of their Soma and porn, finally stampede and trample to death the Bedlam of globalists, Marxists, QueerTrans and their legion of smug-ass lackeys. Sri Lanka is the model of the way out of this. It’s going to be Babel versus Bedlam in a planet-wide cage match. My money’s on the cattle of Babel (since I’m one of them). Moo, simply moo.
Hi Dr. Lindsay, thanks for your work. I just watched your interview from feb2021 w/ Dr. Glenn Loury and what struck me about it was the prophetic nature of your ideas and views.
I would love to see you debate or engage in a conversation with Dr. Richard Wolffe, the self-described marxist economist.
In conversation w/ Dr. Loury you mentioned that while there are certain observations that are valid in the views of marxists, it is their prescriptions that are problematic.
I would highly value your thinking on marxism as an economic mode of production- which parts resonate with you and which parts do you think are ridiculous (for example the idea of surplus value; that capitalist profit only exists as a result of devaluing labor).
I Look forward to more of your work, thank you.
Cary,
It is naive and ignorant to presume that Republicans are any better, for their party platform advocates a Fascistic expression of Statism, while their Democrat “opponents” party platform advocates one or both of the two other expressions of Statism: Communism and Socialism.
Many Republicans, particularly Evangelical Christians among them, have been fighting for the resumption and legal enforcement of a “traditional normalcy” wherein women are rightless beings–slaves– who exist to function as breeding animals. Proof of that agenda are the “trigger laws” prohibiting abortions that were activated in several states when Roe v. Wade was overturned by the SCOTUS.
So why Col. Edward, do democrat/progressive positions lead to a nanny state? In democratic controlled areas grown adults are often treated like children through laws created and enforced by these politicians. Currently many counties have banned things like flavored tobacco just because a teen MIGHT get access to it yet have pushed to legalize Marijuana. Arent teens going to get ahold of weed just as easy as they would have got flavored tobacco? These same liberal states get in the way of patients with legitimate pain conditions (ie ms, cancer, chronic kidney stones) from getting the medicines they need just because others are addicted. They treat those patients like criminals. The progressive position on rent/property ownership is particularly troubling. One recent congressional candidate out of Washington state promoted the idea that homeless should break into homes. Despite evidence that rent control measures actually make housing problems worse, many still push them and some even go beyond to suggest that private property should be abolished all together. If THAT isn’t communism, I don’t know what is. Finally explain to me Col. Edward why, if the democratic platform isn’t problematic and Republicans are drifting towards facism, those moving from either former Soviet countries, Cuba or Venezuela are alarmed with democrat positions due to how similar they are to the policies that destroyed their home countries?
Brigadier General Jack D. Ripper of Burpelson Air Force Base, great to see you alive again.
It sounds like queer theory is against everything, which means queer theorists can’t be reasoned with or even appeased. They will never be satisfied, no matter what you concede to them, because that would be an indication of some kind of stability. They are a perfect combination of mentally ill and evil. Fortunately, I don’t have any kids in public school. Normals who do should be fighting this to the bitter end. All I can do is steer as far clear of QT believers as I possibly can, and never, ever, under any circumstances vote for Democrats.
Well the crux of it is that these queer theory fanatics will have no access to the intelligent and higher sources of thinking and knowledge of the inner wisdom pathways of the universe since their minds have been captured by a TOXIC and ill logical wave of low energy. All they get for fuel is a poison from the lower worlds of the dark and angry souls that prey on their emotions. They will labor in delusion and squander away theirs lives in filth and emotional terror. They will harm many people including children but it is they who are trapped as prisoners by the negative forces of evil….I say this not in a Biblical context. The Buddhists call it the great wheel of suffering. Only a fool would believe this garbage.
