<description>Saving American Liberty, Session 5

In this session from the New Discourses event 'Saving American Liberty,' Michael O’Fallon argues that global political, corporate, and religious institutions are jointly reshaping Western society through “degrowth” policies, sustainability mandates, and ideological frameworks like ESG and the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, which he sees as mechanisms for centralizing control and limiting individual freedom. He contrasts the West’s self-imposed economic contraction with China’s expansion through the Belt and Road Initiative, claiming this shift empowers China while weakening America’s global position. O’Fallon warns that identity-based conflicts, migration pressures, and urban destabilization are fragmenting Western societies into competing tribal enclaves, leaving them vulnerable to foreign influence. He concludes that COVID-era restrictions, digital surveillance, and AI-driven governance signal a broader transition from a merit-based, liberty-oriented system to one that demands ideological compliance from both citizens and institutions.

<description>The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 185

The Nazi Experiment wasn't just an idea. It was an idea put into practice. Putting that idea into practice started with a movement, but it required a totalitarian state apparatus to fully implement, to tremendous disaster. What was Adolf Hitler's real vision for the Nazi State? He makes it plain: the primary, if not sole, purpose of the state is to protect and improve the race. That is, Hitler's state wasn't ethnonationalist as a matter of happenstance but centrally, by design. In that regard, given the realities of Europe and the world, the Holocaust, and additional such racially motivated purges, were completely predictable all the way back to the mid-1920s in Mein Kampf. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay continues his "Nazi Experiment" podcast series with its tenth volume, reading from the second chapter of the second volume of Mein Kampf to show you the horrible reality of the intended Nazi State apparatus in Hitler's own words. Join him for a shocking listen.

The Nazi Experiment, Vol. 10: Blood, Soil, and the Racial State

<description>New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 136

When it comes to economic organization (not necessarily political organization), we might be tempted to ask why it is that Fascist economies don't work. It seems like they might, after all, once you understand that they still enable what might be called a "deferred free enterprise" system, allowing for the profit motive after the government gets its own. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay (featuring a post by Logan Lancing) dives into the problem with Fascist (Stakeholder) economic models on a variety of levels, using both economic theory and historical and contemporary examples to make his point. Join him to understand why we should not readily embrace such a model for ourselves.

Why Fascist Economies Can't Work

<description>New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 135

Government can do many things in the world, but one thing it cannot do is produce abundance and prosperity. Why not? Its incentives are all wrong, and over time they tend to get worse. In this probing episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay dives into the intrinsic issues with government when it comes to creating abundance and prosperity, explaining why these are the product of a "problem-solving theory of value" that government is poorly incentivized to work with. Join him for the insights on why expanding the influence of government over the economy will not produce an economy more capable of producing abundance or prosperity (solving problems real people have).

Big Government Can't Produce Abundance

<description>New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 134

At the center of Woke thinking is critical theory. So, what is it? In short, critical theory is a tool for delegitimizing a real thing for not being some kind of sociopolitical ideal thing that cannot even exist. The way it works is by holding the real thing up to the standards of an imaginary ideal rather than against the contingencies of reality and criticizing it with the aim of breaking people's faith in it, simply for existing in reality. It's a wicked tool almost always used to undermine something legitimate so that something illegitimate can replace it (dialectics). Join host James Lindsay for this episode of New Discourses Bullets, where he breaks it down and makes it clear.
