YouTube Description
as posted by the channelNew Discourses Bullets, Ep. 90
Regardless of the issue (BLM, Drag Queen Story Hour, Pride, or a college uprising), the ideological totalism of Woke Marxism uses classic tactics to advance itself. One of those is a kind of manipulation through what is called "planned spontaneity," a clear oxymoron. Planned spontaneity is a "mystical manipulation," in the words of Robert Jay Lifton (), that gives the totalizing cult the appearance of incredible, widespread, organic support, if not omniscience. The current proHamas (or proPalestine) student uprisings are no exception. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this phenomenon through the lens of Lifton's work, particularly indicating how the current RedGuard student uprisings fit into this fake, manipulative frame of reference. Don't miss it!
