New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 146
The essence of a critical theory is a philosophical stance we can and should call “negative idealism,” and this negative idealism explains why “critical” movements like Communism, Fascism, and Woke of all types trend toward violence. Setting the stage against the recent sprees of “transgender” violence as an important backdrop, host James Lindsay explains the psychological destruction of holding a negative idealist worldview in this cutting-edge episode of New Discourses Bullets. Join him to understand these troubling phenomena in a deep and important way.

I think this overthinks this issue.
But for me the missing piece(s) are the psychopaths running – or driving – these operations. The psychopath has developed an extremely compulsive fear of being discovered. He (sometimes she) will do anything in their ability to hide their true feelings, plans, and activities from anyone who could discover them. Changing sex is a hiding mechanism, and so is “reactive” criticism.
When criticism is only used for self-protection, it is reactive, which means – as James describes – it has no actual ideal that it is criticizing against. All ideologies based on reactive (self-protective) criticism are fundamentally criminal and psychopathic.
Violence – generally speaking – is a dramatization of violence done to oneself. This violence might have occurred in the ancient past. People who are now psychopaths used to be hunted down and brutally destroyed; they were considered so dangerous. There is no real comparison today with how brutal these hunts were. If a psychopath – or perhaps a sociopathic victim of a psychopath – gets the idea that it’s “time to act,” he will do the best he can to reenact how he was destroyed.
This last part concerning violence is the least well-understood by me and most others. It is difficult to confront because it can be so ghastly. And it is difficult to prove because the perpetrator often dies in the act and thus is unavailable for investigation. Also, “modern” investigative techniques seldom include any address to past life experiences. So the above is my best current understanding of how it works, and is actually incomplete, as the spiral down into a psychopathic personality usually starts with committing a violent act – whether that be by mistake or on purpose.
