It’s easy to think “These activists are really dumb.” They’re not. They’re Marxists. The CRT activists are Marxists. The gender and queer activists are Marxist.

They don’t care if they lose the philosophical argument as long as they continue to destabilize society.
They're not. Not even close. These frickers are smart, savvy and patient. That's why they've won.
Everytime some a-hole on this board yammers about how "stupid" Libs are and throws up a chuckling smiley face, all I can think about is how these "stupid people" have tossed his ideals onto a cultural and political trash heap.
The left has practically won the decades long Culture War in this country. It's over, conservatism lost.

I recently purchased a book called “The Devil and Karl Marx” on Communism’s long march of death, deception, and infiltration in Western societies. I think we all need to plug in, and come to grips with the fact of what and who we are dealing with. Most who are involved in this woke garbage don’t even know it, but are pawns doing their part to usher in a very dark chapter in history.
When I was young and foolishly enamored with Marxism, it was reading a great deal of history that cured me. That's why I think the best thing to do is make some version of "The Black Book of Communism" and related history as mandatory courses in HS and college.

They are coming for you and violence will be used if you do not surrender. If we have any real leadership left in this country, the likelihood of having a violent civil war is substantial. Without leadership, we will have slavery for those that are not eliminated. Marxism does not stop unless it meets a more powerful force.
It is worth the 35 minutes.

I liked the way he referenced how these social groups act like nations with their own flags they put of buildings...
It's crazy, but all of what he said makes total sense..
It's amazing how this nation is becoming divided. People need to start fighting back.
Budweiser feeling the pinch is a perfect start. Screw these woke corporations.

Notice, he didn't say much about how to defeat this. He says keep your head and don't allow yourself to be provoked. Well . . . how long is that going to work out?
I always shake my head when we get the do nothing strategy. It has certainly worked well for someone over the last 3 years but it hasn't been the American citizen.

It’s not that difficult to miss if you simply reflect upon the tactics used in every communist nation to divide and conquer, and compare them to what we see happening in this country before our very eyes, and which took place almost overnight it seems, which reeks of Marxist revolution by very careful design.
Anybody wonder just how deeply China is involved in this revolution?

There was once a one-hour course offered in academic institutions around this state called Americanism versus Communism, which was supposed to be mandatory.
But even that was inadequate.
Is it even around anymore.
Most of it had to do with telling students how brilliant Karl was, and not a word of how miserable a wretch, and given to fantasy he was; nor how entrenched marxist ideals had already become in this nation, cloaked under high-sounding euphemisms such as "progressivism."
Obviously most if not all of the faculty-lounge types didn't know the extent of it themselves - while many secretly looked longingly at it and wouldn't have had a problem at all with its spread anyway.
After all, what could be more attractive to the typical academic than the promise of "universal egalitarianism."

You can throw in Radical Environmentalism as well. Capitalism is destroying the planet.

100% this. It’s not about arriving at the truth. It’s about imposing power. In fact I’d go so far as to say they prefer the ludicrous over the reasonable since reasonable behavior doesn’t require us to be bent to their will. IOW, Their arguments are insane by design.

I don't always agree with Bill Maher, but I believe he's been paying attention to Lindsay.

They probably would see your point if you said it was happening in the big cities and agree with you, but when you say it’s happening in a place like St Tammany, they roll their eyes

It’s very hard to organize against this attack…and I agree we are 100% witnesses to a Marxist revolution. What each of us can do is tell the truth… simply refuse to agree with the foolishness they are pushing and to speak out within our circles.
A woman can be a man…nope! Men can get pregnant…nope! They don’t expect you to believe this stuff, they just expect you to be quiet. Remaining silent makes us complicit.
I’m a Christian and the church (mostly) has failed to address this powerfully. We have too many pastors who want to be “winsome” …they wink at the culture and invite the enemy in. It’s time for them to stand up and be counted. Adrian Rogers said, “We will be civil, but we will not be silent.”
I recommend Rod Dreher’s book…Live Not By Lies.

Entering into the “there’s only two genders” argument means you’ve already lost the war.
Radical rejection of their whole framework through shame and laughter is all that is needed. Their whole goal is to engage the argument in order to move society leftwards. Acknowledging any truth in their argument creates the dialectic that furthers their argument.

Communist China is finishing the job that Communist USSR started in the 1960s. The hippie movement was socially engineered too.

The explanation of marxism as a theology series was incredible. Also his dissection of the first queer studies paper line by line.
His podcasts can be a bit fulsome, but they’re illuminating.
I do however appreciate when he can package this stuff in shorter form because im much more likely to be able to get people to actually watch it. this video is a great one, maybe hi best summation/framing of the subject yet

Here's the whole talk. Haven't watched it yet myself, but another guy spoke as well and they take questions. Wanted to include it here.

I guess what I'm getting at is that there are a lot of Republican voters in my dad's age group (mid 60s) who grew up being taught that communism would never happen here and refuse to believe it will, even as we sit in the middle of a communist revolution.
I think they are aware but dont get the connection to communism. My parents are well aware of esg and the push of this gender nonsense on children. But I dont think they understand the connection.
Mainly because it is a cultural revolution and not the rising of the working class. My parents are the working class. And to them , those people arent going to revolt. They worked and got fat and happy.
Another thing thats strange to me is the whole whiteness. As it stands asians come here to this capitalist country and gain more. So i do think its silly to keep engaging in this witht he marxists. Just outright reject them. Because they dont care about actually winning an argument or being right. They have to critique every aspect of society and bring it down.

It never sounded good to me. In its very essence it was to take from the producers and give to the lazy. In what world would that ever work?
You dont even have to know history. Just be present.
