New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 90
Regardless of the issue (BLM, Drag Queen Story Hour, Pride, or a college uprising), the ideological totalism of Woke Marxism uses classic tactics to advance itself. One of those is a kind of manipulation through what is called “planned spontaneity,” a clear oxymoron. Planned spontaneity is a “mystical manipulation,” in the words of Robert Jay Lifton, that gives the totalizing cult the appearance of incredible, widespread, organic support, if not omniscience. The current pro-Hamas (or pro-Palestine) student uprisings are no exception. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this phenomenon through the lens of Lifton’s work, particularly indicating how the current Red-Guard student uprisings fit into this fake, manipulative frame of reference. Don’t miss it!

James Lindsay, sorry to hijack this comment thread of one of your best and most important podcasts – you’re cooking with gas again and are a true hero – but the specific comment by the creature “Dirt Boghart” has enraged me not just because of its Jew hatred but also because it typifies everything wrong with a specific toxic world view and the rancid human nature behind this world view that JL and all anti-Woke dissidents are critiquing: the poisonous fake “liberalism” expertly excoriated by James Burnham in his 1963 “Suicide of the West” (and by many others). The excremental human nature that “superior” supercilious egomaniacal puffed-up cringe-crawling narcissistic do-gooders inflict on their “inferiors” because they deem themselves the Anointed.
I’m not a believer but have read the bible (NT a few times) and such people were the primary target of Jesus’ harshest condemnations, perhaps because theirs is the greatest sin: pride-blindness. These foul creatures bask in the self-glory of their unholy trinity of Me, Myself & I, while destroying everyone and everything around them in their self-righteous Utopian holy war. They are the PROBLEM and must be named and stopped not merely to end “woke” but to end this entire hundred-year-long calumny and cruelty of fake-liberal/idiot-leftism and the politics, NGOs, Universities, churches and people who prop up this reign of terror that wears “nice” as its skin-suit. Monstrous people like this Freak who typify the beast:
”RADICAL CHIC 2.0: The Rich Slacktivists Backing Pro-Hamas Protests”
by Brad Hunter, Toronto Sun May 5 2024
• “BILLION DOLLAR BABY: Fergie Chambers is paying big bucks for the campus Hamas protests. Chambers, 39, inherited $250 million from his family, which owns the $34-billion Cox communications empire. Chambers is pouring his money and efforts into warring against Israel, Zionism, colonialism in general, and other trendy causes. [Fergie Chambers’ headquarters are] in Tunisia.
• In a Rolling Stone interview, Fergie who calls himself a ‘professional revolutionary’ said, ‘WE NEED TO MAKE PEOPLE WHO SUPPORT ISRAEL ACTUALLY AFRAID TO GO OUT IN PUBLIC.’ [emphasis added]
• Also in the Trotskyite toff club are gazillionaire tech entrepreneur Neville Roy Singham and his partner Jodie Evans, both 69, who have poured at least $20 million into the People’s Forum, a radical outfit that protests everything.
• [Fergie] Chambers summed up the [radical millionaire] ethos when he told Los Angeles magazine: ‘Israel does not deserve to exist. It is a false state propped up by the West.’ With $13.6 million in total assets and employing 13 people, [Fergie Chambers’] People’s Forum is based in Manhattan.
• Meanwhile, in Tunisia, Fergie Chambers is busy learning Quranic Arabic to go hand-in-hand with his ‘reversion’ to Islam. Fergie [Chambers’] family is one of the richest in the U.S.
• Before heading on the hipster trail to Tunisia, Chambers made a lot of enemies in the ritzy Berkshires where he oversaw a sort of mini-militia that advocated for communism. Creatively, they were called the Berkshire Communists. The Berkshire Eagle reported that residents were afraid of the radical Richie Rich. Residents said his followers who live on the 300-acre spread are akin to a ‘mob’ or a ‘cult.’
• [Fergie Chambers] has tattoos of Stalin and Mao, and a deep-abiding love for the former Soviet Union and Red China.”
Yeah!!! dig that BBC on white beat !
Whether Lou achieved it or not is a secret known to few perhaps. Apart from any illicit gnostic knowledge by Humanism ? They claim to have the power to remote view the contents of everywhere // thus ones underpants these days.
“Zionist ethnic cleansing that is now verging on genocide”
You are despicable Jew hating scum. Fuck off!
my comment was a reply (that went to the top of the post) to a comment by some human garbage using the name “Dick Burkhart” and not a comment on James Lindsay’s post.
Actually the “outsiders” in these campus protests are mostly locals, likely former students who’ve been radicalized. They take advantage of the latest outrage to help mobilize the students. But big problems arise when they become destructive or obnoxious and generate a backlash against their cause. This happened with the BLM protests in Minneapolis and later in places like Portland and Seattle. It is now happening with some young pro-Palestinian protesters but not with protests organized by groups like Jewish Voices for Peace. An example of offensive behavior in Seattle was a couple of weeks back when Rep. Adam Smith held a Town Hall and was shouted down by young Gaza protesters to the point that he had to cancel the event, and it wasn’t just bad acoustics. Later Smith was quoted as calling them “Left-wing fascists”, similar to the “antifa”, though not as bad. That is, they got the opposite response from they had hoped for.
I myself had a run-in with one of them at a different event when this person tried to shut down a reporter who was interviewing me. Turned out that the reporter had been branded a conservative but I believe in trying to be respectful to all sides when possible. Throughout all this my group, Earthcare Not Warfare, has maintained respectful relationships with Smith despite our opposition to Zionist ethnic cleansing that is now verging on genocide.
YOU are the problem, shit bag. Your “white guilt” “progressive” poseur’s petticoat is covered in skid marks. Your kind needs to be flushed down the crapper. Look in the mirror, asshole, and listen to your theme song: “I Wanna Be Black” by Lou Reed from his ironic 1978 “Street Hassle” album where he spat on pretentious poison-ego radical-chic “Libber Als” like you for the vicious petty lying scum that they are:
“I wanna be black, have natural rhythm
Shoot twenty foot of jism too
And fuck up the jews
I wanna be black, I wanna be a Panther
Have a girlfriend named Samantha
I don’t wanna be a fucked up
Middle class college student anymore
I just wanna have a stable of
Foxy little whores
I wanna be black, wanna be like Martin Luther King
And get myself shot in the spring
And lead a whole generation, too
And fuck up the jews (fuck up the jews)
I wanna be black, I wanna be like Malcolm X
And cast a hex
Over President Kennedy’s tomb
And have a big prick too (have a big prick too)
Yeah yeah, I wanna be black”
You can be Hamas’ bitch all you want, fool. It’s easy. Just bend over and think of Frantz Fanon while they decolonize your white trash liberal ass. To paraphrase The Cramps: Stick out your can – here comes the garbage man.
“Earthcare Not Warfare” = VOMIT. Literal vomit.
You, and not “war”, are the Enemies of Humanity. Evil! You are pure evil.
It is striking how Lifton and Meerlo are so relevant now. I have been writing – unpublished so far- on why civil and political liberties are brushed aside- and why the law in general is abrogated by protestors. A recent opposition to a free speech/hate speech conference at Victoria Univerity of Wellington , New Zealand was shut down. That involved the (arrogant it seems) abrogation of attendees’ right to assemble, free speech (and hear) and freedom of conscience, which are all protected rights under the NZ Bill of Rights ACT 1990. I have encountered this in a work place case for a charity which was tended to Woke. I had used the term higher calling. This was a term used by James Comey in his book, A Higher Loyalty. That seemed to be an exculpatory means to say not comply with my obligations. Your Podcast Bullet is excellent and the issues raised critical for our rights and liberties. is this higher mystic gnostic in your use of the term. Tucker Carlson’s interview with Alexander Dugin seems to point in a similar way too. Thank you for the podcast.
