New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 115
Did you know that propaganda comes in more than one form? In particular, there are at least two broad types of propaganda, what the Soviet dictator Lenin termed “agitation” and “propaganda.” They’re not quite the same thing. Agitation is supposed to influence your emotions; propaganda is meant to make you misunderstand. In this important episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay discusses the concept of agitprop to open your eyes to it. Join him to learn how to spot influence campaigns you might encounter online or in the news.

James I’ve losing patience with your strawmanning of the position of white people who see the game and dont want to lose their culture and identity, as “woke right”.
For your entire life, how have you felt about Cherokee land for the Cherokee? How have you felt about Cherokee Nation denoting an Ethno group as a Nation?
This is older than woke politics. This is from the 1800s. The concept of ethnicity and nation are intertwined.
I want to see you condemn the concept of ownership of land by ethnic groups for native americans. I want to see you tell thme they’re being woke and wrong to have an exclusionary land right based on tribal and ethnic lines, and the capacity to exclude or “otherize” people from both their culture and their land on this basis.
You want the Woke Right to come to your side? Offer up the Sacrifice, as Peterson would say, of denouncing Native Nations. Call THEM woke. Say THEY are acting like the nazis.
Treat groups equally.
if you only take this view against whites and against ethnic french, germans, englsih, etc, and you do NOT treat the black community (solidarity based on race/genes), native american nations, palestine, and israel, in EXACTLy the same way (aka EQUALITY), then you can take a running jump like any good hypocrite.
You are a stupid cuckold libtard faggot. You should legitimately kill yourself you stupid subhuman nigger-worshipping jew faggot. I hope your family members are doxxed, harassed, and terrorized every day of their miserable lives. Faggot.
This deranged screech of obscenities is the epitaph of commentary on this web site.
ND comments was once a place for a genuine discourse with many engaged commenters offering a range of intelligent observations across the countless comments on many important (at the time) articles — with one comment thread topic exception: Every one of the Trans-related articles on ND resulted in a pyroclastic flow of psychotic hysterical screeds usually calling for literal violence to “transphobes” that continued to be posted years after the original articles by sociopathic death-cultists who returned like vampiric carrion to the ashes of a corpse to peck out its non-existent eyes over and over forever.
Mercifully, this commentariat of psychosis was contained almost solely to Trans comment threads but now it seems every ND’s article elicits comments of a similar type of psychotic rage-formation hysteria culminating in this specific putrescent comment of rabid hatred and maniacal threats of killing and violence.
RIP New Discourses commentary. The public discourse of the ND commentariat has died. Time to mourn it, abandon it and move on.
I note also that the longtime commenter “Sociologist” (though not to everyone’s taste or even comprehension) has had all of his (somewhat verbose but highly astute and critically germane) comments Stalinistically disappear literally overnight (his comments were all here yesterday but they are all gone today). Whoever you are (or were) “Sociologist”, I salute you (Ivan Denisovich? Winston Smith?). You are now officially unpersonned and erased from recorded memory of ND commentariat. Your arrows hit the target once too often it seems.
Unpersonning and calls for killing. What an ignominious and despair-inducing end to a once forward-looking and hopeful endeavour. The anti-Woke era is truly over and so are its discourses, pro- and anti-, old and New. Woke’s bestial puppet masters no longer have use for this particular played-out tool of chaos-creation. They’ve moved on, openly and gleefully, to much more visceral and “collateral damaging” methods for managing the inmates of their controlled Bedlam. Brace yourselves for their whirlwind.
“A time is coming when men will go mad, and when they see someone who is not mad, they will attack him, saying, You are mad; you are not like us.”
