New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 98
We need a perspective shift. It’s extremely common to hear people saying how “insane” or “crazy” Woke Marxism is, or to rhetorically ask “what are they thinking?” perhaps with a suggestion of “it won’t work.” Marxism is destructive, on purpose, and being befuddled about their destructive programs doesn’t help us stop them. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down the simple idea necessary for this shift in perspective: they have different goals than the rest of us. In fact, their goals are, in the words of Herbert Marcuse, to “protest against the totality of a well-functioning, prosperous society.” Join James for this important episode to understand this crucial point.

Thanks, James, for the clarity, and the clarion call to arms.
We can’t talk about it, though. The moment we bring up Marcuse, we get accused of being antisemites.
The Frankfurt School is a Woke Right conspiracy theory.
Ask anyone, they’ll tell you.
Thank you! I experience bewildered people who laugh at the communists for their chaos and nonsense, not understanding how intentionally evil it is. Communists have no morality, are atheists, so they have no belief in Truth, or objective morality. When they lie, it’s nothing to them, or to their supporters. They will, however, vigorously hold non-communists and Christians to Christian standards. That is why our leftists acquaintances just shrug when antifa burns down cities, but howl for the blood of Jan 6th fed-infiltrated protesters. Whatever works. It is evil, it is grave error to follow it.
Speaking of our now collective insanity or psychosis this essay describes the situation

It also seems to me that a certain cult lead by a religiously and culturally illiterate nihilistic barbarian is the leading edge vector of this insanity, psychosis and evil. I am of course pointing to the MAGA cult.
We live in a time and place when every possible point of view on every conceivable topic is now freely available on the internet and much/most/all of human politics and culture is being driven by Social Media. So how does one even begin to comprehend/understand anything?
James most certainly does not come anywhere near to providing such necessary understanding.
Re the pernicious influence of Social Media check out this reference:

You like the smell of your own farts, don’t you?
Why on earth would anyone do that?
Yes! Of course it seems insane – didn’t they call it “The Queering of (insert topic here)”? They want to tear it all down and replace everything with its queer version. It seems insane to us, but to them it makes all the sense in the world.
This is explained well in “The Architects of Western Decline, the Fankfurt School” video on YouTube.
