New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 95
To be successful at pushing back at Woke Marxism, you have to know some Woke Marxism and know it pretty well. It’s not enough to have a tacit sense of what “Woke” or its programs are about. You have to be somewhat knowledgeable. Leftists are extremely good at discrediting their opposition by making them look dumb (or ignorant, or uninformed), evil, or crazy, and they will spring questions on unsuspecting activists to create this image. Preventing them the easy entry against you, your work, and your message that is undermining your intellectual authority on these matters is as simple as one thing: doing your homework. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay talks about this Leftist strategy and the importance of doing your homework to countering them. Join him to up your game!

At this point in the game, the entire thing – Woke, anti-Woke, the exhausting he said-she said left-right cage matches, the soul-smothering degradation of world political quagmires caused by “ruling” humans who would have been drawn and quartered in earlier times by angry mobs, the incomprehensible Wizard of Oz behind-the-curtain powerplayers’ endless quality-of life-crushing Babel-Bedlam brouhahas that their sheeple victims take without protest like prison prags resigned to their nightly gang rape — all of this can be metaphorically represented by the plots of two movies by Werner Herzog that bookend each other in an alpha-omega level of perfect symmetrical cosmic disillusion.
The formal anti-Woke “movement” began for me in 2019 feeling like the plot of Herzog’s “Aguirre, the Wrath of God”, a 1972 movie where a group of conquistadores lead by a mad visionary leader trudge along the Amazon river in search of the legendary city of gold, El Dorado. Five years later in 2024, the anti-Woke “movement” now feels to me like the plot of Herzog’s “Fitzcarraldo”, a 1982 movie where a would-be rubber baron is determined to transport a massive steamship by hand over a steep jungle-choked mountain to access a rich rubber territory in the Amazon basin.
Both movies began in phantasmagorical optimism and ended in dissociative fugue state paralysis. Symbolic portents to me of both the beginning and the end of the chimerical anti-Woke “movement’s” fool’s gold mirage that is always “just around the bend”. As somebody somewhere once said: When we got there, we realized that there was no “there” there.
Thank you. Most sincerely. The salad may be wilting at my age but there’s still enough nutrient in the stalks to sustain the sparks needed to read the signs. The time is nearing for me to leave “anti-Woke” behind for greener higher pastures. Always humbling to begin a new journey on a high note.
What is Woke?
Pragmatic non-theoretical definitions:
Definition A: Woke is a system of Organized Hypocrisies.
Example of Woke Organized Hypocrisy:
Enslavement of African blacks is only “evil” when it is or was done by white European-origin people; while enslavement of African blacks is not evil when it is or was done by “brown” Islamic peoples or fellow black Africans or Chinese/other Asians or North American Indians or any non-white peoples now or throughout history. Enslavement of white European-origin people is also not evil when it is or was done by any or all of these non-white peoples now or throughout history.
Why?
Because Woke is a Theory of Oppression that divides all humans across all human history into Oppressors, who are purported to include all white European-origin people living or dead, and Oppressed, who are purported to include all non-white people living or dead, all of whom are purported to have been and are still being oppressed by all white European-origin people living or dead.
Definition B: Woke is a system of Language Control.
Example of Woke Language Control:
The word (and concept) “slavery” is given two meanings. Slavery of non-whites by whites is evil. Slavery of non-whites by other non-whites or slavery of whites by non-whites is not evil. The meaning of the words “slavery” and “evil” can only be determined by knowing the race and skin colour of the people involved. Truth and meaning are relative concepts determined exclusively by Woke ideology and dogma.
Why?
Because Woke is a system of Moral Categorization, Ranking and Punishment/Reward based entirely upon Race designed to achieve “equity” of human races by forcing reparations by oppressor whites to oppressed non-whites to repay the damage done by white capitalist colonizer racist supremacy throughout all human history thereby bringing about a post-white socialist Utopia of DEI: Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (the holy trinity of Woke).
Woke functions as a form of “religion” whose adherents are “Good” thus rewarded with the heaven on earth of DEI, while disbelievers living or dead are “Evil” and must be punished by “Good” Wokes whose moral duty demands persecution of all non-Wokes by any means necessary.
Why?
Because Woke adherents function as foot soldier grunts for manipulative Authoritarian Globalist Ruling Cabals (of many kinds) who traded “right wing fascist” systems/”religions” in the 20th century for “left wing socialist (Woke)” systems/”religions” as their preferred totalitarian method of world population control in the 21st century.
(There will be a Pop Quiz on this after recess.)
ps Queer is a simulacra of non-whiteness and is a Woke strategy adopted by cunning liberal/left white people to ingratiate themselves with Woke Overlords by becoming a fictional “non-white race” via an invented category of “oppression” called Queer (trans, autogynephilia, mentally ill teenagers, heterosexuals pretending to be bisexual and other invented fake sexual identities and magical-thinking narcissistic personas) which transmogrify the desperate-to-be-accepted-as-Woke liberal/left white person’s race and white skin into an “oppressed minority” subset of “Race”, an ersatz POC (person of colour), a politically corrected simulacra of non-whiteness. The Queer category is technically a travesty (word origin of the English term “transvestite”, btw) of Wokeness but is so useful as a tool of population control/mind manipulation by Ruling Elites that it’s centred as a weapon to silence non-Woke heretics and terrify faux-liberal cowardly soma-braindead sheeple-people.
What is WOKE?
WOKE is a version of totalitarianism. Of which there are many versions, not all policial. Totalitarianism is a speciic kind of highly dysfunctional group dynamic, both inside and outside of political venues.

Example of Woke Race Policing in action: “Decolonizing the White-centricity” of Folk Music:
“Almost [$1.9 million] in [UK] taxpayer funding has been awarded to a research project that aims to ‘decolonise’ folk singing.
Taking place at the University of Sheffield, researchers ‘will take an unflinching look at the white-centricity of folk music repertory, performers and audience by conducting fieldwork to shed light on long-standing vernacular singing practices of ethnic minority cultures in England’. They then hope to ‘increase accessibility to the folk club scene and take the first step in a process of decolonisation within the folk music canon’.” [from “The Telegraph” quoted on other sites]
Wow. My beloved 1960s/70s Pentangle, Fairport Convention and Steeleye Span folk-rock music collection is worse than Hitler. Good to know. Now I’ll listen to them even more. Fuck Woke!
Wokeness is a religion. No matter how many times I read the definition of Woke, I still don’t know what it means. Just like Bible study you have to read each passage ten times to get the meaning from an expert translator.
For sure ive seen guys try to go on and debate Lamonte Hill about Criticle Race Theory , and he always ties them up on
” did you read the book ? ” and they didnt and he smirks victory.
I find it frustrating people cant answer their stupid warped history phrases about America like :
” america was born in slavery ..”
Its not , it was born devided with a huge abolishionist movement , and violence in Kansas and Missouri territories whether they would be free or slave , and huge white male deaths in the Civil War .
Or :
” America is systemicly racist ..”
Its also fought systemicly against racism , with a huge Civil Rights movement , and massive laws on the books , and a misguided welfare system.
Its hard to counter their BS , most are college educated , and work on their neo marxist critical theory post modern chops the way prisonors work out their bodies in prison . You cant keep up .
I am taking your advice like it’s coming from my old math professor. If you can’t solve the problem more than one way, you didn’t really do it. 🙂
James I am filled with gratitude for your remarkable podcasts. They are so helpful and encouraging. I often feel I am the only one in the fight…until I listen to you.
I agree with you, James. Though you are not addressing me. I was in the anti-totalitarian game long before you were. And I fully understood it. You’re doing well, though.
What took you so long? It was a very lonely Resistance Movement out here for decades.
