James Lindsay joins Emily to explain how he tricked a conservative news outlet into publishing a modified version of the Communist Manifesto. This, according to Lindsay, proves the right has its own problem with the ‘woke’ ideology of ‘oppressed and oppressor.’

I gleaned that mankind may have a “fundamental conflict-oriented worldview.” and when all else fails their political efforts devolve into an existential ‘us vs. them’ argument. Just such a worldview may have been recently demonstrated. And further, Christianity may balance or perhaps suppress this worldview. Very Calvinist!

The ‘woke’ left thinks ‘whiteness’ must be abolished – that means white people for the stupid of thought.

Please explain the exact mirror of this mode of thought on the ‘right’?…It’s the literal tattooed neo-nazis, who have no power.
James Lindsey has done such amazing work. I hope he doesn’t try and get the pat on the head by now focusing on normal people.
