New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 28
Understanding Woke Marxism means more than just understanding their Theory. It also requires understanding their activity, which also helps you counter it. One of the most pervasive techniques used by Woke Marxism is “dialectical inversion.” In dialectical inversion, the authority in a situation is inverted by applying the dialectical trick of seeing two things that are opposed to one another as parts of the same whole. Then the good thing is diminished, allowing the Woke incursion to look better by default. The usual trick is to say “everything is political,” from which follows “the way you do what you do is political.” From that dialectical point of false equality, the inversion is a simple matter of shaming through rhetorical judo. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down the technique of dialectical inversion and gives several clear examples. Join him and learn how to fight back!

One of my favorite “serious” books in my late teen years was “Teaching as a Subversive Activity” (Neil Postman). It was a fun read for me. But it was not really about teaching kids how to read and write. It was more about getting the school administrators out of the way so that the kids could learn how to read and write.
In those time, many school administrations were NOT woke; they were just bureaucrats. They were worried about money and reputation and things like that. And those worries were (according to Mr. Postman) preventing the students from learning anything.
But what I remember most from that book was how kids used “slam books.” That was part of their social and emotional learning. No one expected the schools to teach them that, but obviously school was going to be one place where it happened.
So now I’m wondering what that book was really about.
If we can make any assertions about this situation, I would include these: 1) A lot of people are confused about what kids are and what to do with them; 2) We want to make sure kids leave school able to be functional adults, but a lot of US aren’t functional adults; 3) Parents deserve the right to raise their kids as they see fit; 4) Many parents don’t think they are doing a good enough job and they see school as an absolutely essential part of their kids making it in the adult world.
That leaves us with a situation where many parents are willing to turn the whole problem over to the schools. That’s a failure in responsibility. And that failure, more than anything, is our problem with schools.
Beautiful comment. Sadly, I think a lot of Boomer parents abdicated their parental responsibilities to the school. I know mine did; they didn’t even attempt to give me ANY kind of sex talk, and I know a lot of my peers were in the same boat
Who are you, anyway?
It is basically a distortion of psychoanalysis, all this nonsense about the unconscious and consciousness they love to go on about. Like they are all Freudian’s who can see into everyone’s unconscious. What arrogance and ignorance they have.
Can you please maybe give a Podcast on how to more specifically refute what they are saying…eg. when they say ” Oh everything is political” it does throw a mind numbing spanner in the works. Have you got any succinct or fast track retorts one can use to show how this is not true? In other words a response to throw back? Thanks very much for the great work you are doing to expose Marxist WOKE, most people don’t have a clue how brainwashed they are by it.
What??
The upper top level brigade who are behind the engineering are the bankers and elites. For whatever reason they have a big stake in controlling society. There are plenty of people tapped into exposing them.. such David Icke. A friend of mine is into this research. Snuffing them out and digging into the details.
I wonder at why people would bother to want to bring us down. The truth is they themselves are controlled by the very negative force they use to confuse and bring misery to humanity. In truth they are frightened chickens..
When they have great or immense wealth they are impelled to protect and maintain it,
against all forces that would topple their kingdoms. The irony is they may not be content with it. Regardless of what they own they may still be shallow and deficient in the big qualities that go into a being super human who is riding a high wave on groove that is not dependent on outer forces. A person with only the bare elements of survival may thrive in a higher inner dimension that is apparent when you meet them. That guy will always blow away the competition. The elites have big cars and mansions but so what??? And if their mind set is shallow and materialistic their deficiencies will be ever the more apparent. I suspect Hillary Clinton from the looks of her can’t have an honest conversation with Joe Rogin for the life of her. Any capacity for honesty is gone. They must maintain their own perceived self importance at all times. They must hid behind the curtains and walls they have built around themselves.
Okay so I will take a stab at this. life is a simple process and the power is in the flow not any struggle. The New physics is discovering in detail the inter related non personal, neutral connection of all things in the cosmos. All the things James is describing here are mind manifested ideas with no real physical or energetic connection to the ebb and flow of life and reality. Thoughts are waves in isolation from the everything else…in most cases. Intuition can not be equated to thoughts and head matter. Intuition works in a pragmatic fashion in harmony with our universe. Other wise it rests as it has no need for noise or excessive thinking. What ever woke people say about themselves and us to frighten and intimidate us.. they are victims of excessive thinking.
So its nonsense to drain your energy worrying about what is not. I can only scratch my head and wonder at the obsession and compulsion these people have with the mental pictures that arise in the mind. Tell them that joy is too be in the now and flow and….you will get them talking all night about their theories and concepts. They cant relax and let go. All will be well however and humans sit and worry endlessly about anything and everything. Worry warts can chew on some thought all day. They can only argue and struggle. What good is that. They will say your fucked up because you are happy with the way life is. Most humans are fairly happy. Happiness is the mission of life. They must be at war with that. The ”BASED” person must have a deeper sense of self awareness and by nook or crook gained the wisdom for good judgement.
