OnlySubs: What the Iron Law of Woke Projection Tells Us About Marxists

In this episode of my subscribers-only podcast, James Lindsay OnlySubs, I explore this line of thought and illustrate even further why it is the case that the Woke Marxists do not possess the moral high ground, do not possess the evidence or the argument, and may very well be operating from a position of psychopathology.

At the end of August, dear contributors, I was invited to appear on the Dr. Phil Show along with a handful of other heroes in the fight against Critical Race Theory.
