New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 41
A key tactic in the Woke Marxist activism toolbox is an unconventional warfare technique known as “mid-level violence,” or, in other words, strategic provocation. In this strategy, agitators will engage in behavior that, if accepted, moves one of their mass-line agendas along or that, if resisted, provokes a reaction that can be framed as an unjust overreaction (“wound collecting” or “crybullying”). They are masters at this. In fact, it’s Antifa’s bread-and-butter tactic, and its goal is always to put its target into a dilemma of giving in and demoralizing themselves or reacting and thus being portrayed as having overreacted. Join host James Lindsay in this episode of New Discourses Bullets as he explains how this malicious tactic works.

Am interested if provoking someone is illegal, or at least a justification for low level violence (swatting the finger-in-my face away). In other words, is threatening someone physically with a finger-in-someone’s-face continually (need my own person filming) actually violence (cannot see)? Or a threat of physical violence? Or at least an attempt to provoke me into physical violence? It IS easier to walk away dismissively. But drag queen story hour, not so easy to be dismissive.
My cousin the bouncer – in a similar position- showed me how bumbling unintended accidents can happen to unruly drunk or high or aggressive patrons. They can trip and fall on the ground multiple times or other things can happen by mistake due to close proximity. But better know what you are doing!
Mr. Lindsay,
Are you a member of ARCH?
Sounds like a mix of Marxism and Sadism… Commies getting-off on actually causing pain and suffering in others.
James calls this unconventional warfare… I’d call it merely one tactic in a broader battle against America called Omni-Directional Warfare, widely known as the grand strategy of the People’s Liberation Army (here’s a one paragraph definition via ChatGPT)
Omni-Directional Warfare is a military strategy that involves attacking the enemy from all directions simultaneously, without a fixed front or rear. This approach relies on the use of diverse weapons, tactics, and techniques such as ground forces, air support, naval assets, cyber warfare, and other unconventional methods. The aim is to disrupt the enemy’s ability to coordinate and respond effectively, particularly against opponents with centralized command structures or those who rely on fixed positions. Effective implementation of this strategy requires coordination, communication, and flexibility among various military units, as well as the use of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) assets. While it can be highly effective, it also requires significant resources and logistical support and may not always be feasible in complex environments.(END)
We all know of arrogant people. Some who have real life accomplishments, have done some hard work and produced material results. These faux arrogant clowns all have their heads way up their rear behind parts. A face expression, tone of voice, body language or the look in their eyes or language cant conceal a persons low grade mind as it attempts to relate to the outer world. They are un equipped to interact with healthy and bright people. Thus they retreat into the dark corners of their empty souls where they are manipulated by the sounds of the ghosts and demon forms that haunt them. A smile or kind word from a gentile and good natured human sends them deeper in the abyss where the poverty of their heart knows no calm or centeredness. As the mark speaks back they strike like vipers in search of blood to feed themselves a meal off others energy. Perhaps recoiled in inner conflict over early pains , guilt and shame they knew as children. Unable to rest and breath a sane breath they contract in the core of their being and and lose any sense of presence. The ultimate value in their miserable existence is found in causing misery and pain to others.
That was pretty good to read, however, I don’t think that upbringings or education has anything to do with it.
I found this incredibly helpful, as one is often caught in this dilemma, one knows one us being manipulated and can’t quite put ones finger on it. My tactic has been to walk away, as I associate this tactic with bullying. I don’t see myself as giving in by walking away but as ignoring them. Thank you so much for pointing out this behavioural tactic.
Yes. Thank you for letting us know.
Every little bit of knowledge on these things is a big help.
Thank you, James. So cogent. Thank you.
