Woke Terms Conceal Agendas
Every Woke term conceals an agenda. That's a crucially important fact to understand.

OnlySubs: How Do You Sleep at Night?
I was recently asked how I sleep at night. Now, I intentionally misinterpreted this question and answered "like a baby."

Maoism with American Characteristics
Intersectionality is a Woke standard, but what is it? Where does it come from? The history of the concept isn't that hard to trace, and where it leads us is back to some of the worst regimes in history.

How to Fight a Tyrannical Movement
How can we fight a tyrannical movement trying to take over our society or mislead people into traps? One key thing to do is to understand how people relate to such movements and organize our messaging and activity in a way that targets them for where they are.

OnlySubs: You Should Be Reading and Doing
I get asked all the time how I come up with so much stuff to say against Woke Marxism. It turns out there's a pretty simple secret to this, and I want to share it with you. If I'm reading or doing, I have lots to say.

Absolute Zero and the Western Holodomor
A report filed in 2019 by the prestigious government-funded UK organization of engineers and scientists, UK FIRES, thinks Net Zero is not enough and is pushing for an insanely aggressive program called "Absolute Zero," absolutely zero emissions by 2050.

Cult Language of Woke
Woke Marxism is a cult. In being a cult, it operates like an "initiate society," and the initiation into the cult is largely but not wholly accomplished through its deliberate misuse of language.

OnlySubs: Why You’re Not Failing
I recently had an encounter at a conference in which a woman told me she feels like a failure in her efforts against the Woke problem in her own community. I related something surprising to her: I feel like a failure all the time.

The Reformers: A New Film About the Grievance Studies Affair
The Grievance Studies Affair has never been more relevant. Back in 2017 and 2018, when we did it, it was obvious that the part of academia sometimes called the “theoretical humanities” had been given over essentially wholly to what we dubbed Grievance Studies—that is, Woke Identity Marxism.

As Below, So Above
In the Esoteric Religion known as Hermeticism, there are a number of core principles of operation, perhaps most famously the Principle of Correspondence. It’s often worded “As above, so below,” but this is only half of the principle.

Cults have a structure. The Woke Marxist cult is no exception: it is structured too.

OnlySubs: “I Can’t Do This Anymore”
I hear it all the time. "I'm tired; I can't do this anymore." I thought it too. I spent most of the last two years thinking it over and over again almost every day, but I was wrong.

Intersectionality Is American Maoism
It isn’t possible to discuss Intersectionality without starting with Kimberlé Crenshaw, who named it.

Sand in the Gears
One of the most powerful tactics against totalitarianism, one that worked to stop regimes from taking over and that broke existing regimes from within, is the simple strategy of "throwing sand in the gears," as it's said.

The Gnostic Parasite
In the second lecture in his “Secret Religions of the West” series, Lindsay explains that these “philosophies,” including Marxism, are actually mystical Esoteric cult religions posing as science, economics, and politics, and that their success in infiltrating our religions, societies, and institutions is down to their intrinsically parasitical nature.
