New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 166

Here in the West, we talk a lot about Islam and Sharia as though they're separate things. They are not separate things. Islam means submission. Submission is expressed through the Divine Law called Sharia. Therefore, Islam means submission to God through keeping Sharia. According to Sayyid Qutb in his 1964 book Milestones (https://amzn.to/4xviKeR), "This is Islam. There is no other meaning of Islam." Since Qutb is widely regarded as the intellectual foundation for the current Muslim Brotherhood, we should perhaps take this view seriously. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay makes this point clear, reading straight from Qutb. Join him to understand that there's no difference between Islam and Sharia.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 210

Moral clarity on the Ukraine War has been difficult for many Republicans. There are reasons for that, some good, some less good. For one thing, the Democrats in the name of what seems to be some bizarre globalist agenda, which is the precise thing many Republicans reject, went all in on Ukraine, demanding more and more support. For another, this triggered an isolationist streak in the American Right that was inflamed by deliberate Russian propaganda to get Republicans to pull back or even to support Russia or Putin himself. In this state of confusion, the truth is often that there are not two conflicting sides but at least three. Here, there are three conflicting philosophies of global organization competing, and the American Right is slow to figure this out. In this important episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay uses as Russian source, Aleksandr Dugin's The Foundations of Geopolitics (1997) (https://amzn.to/4eEmXnG) to make these three competing philosophies clear. Join him to gain much-needed moral clarity on this important issue.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 165

The propaganda we face in the twenty-first century has a new and different character that we must rapidly make ourselves aware of. It's interactive. That is, rather than just feeding you agitation or propaganda in order to engage you, the propaganda methods of the social-media age influence you by giving you contoured feedback on what you post: likes, reposts, shares, criticism, ratios, and all of that. By intervening in what looks like an organic response to your own materials, this "interactive propaganda" environment can lead people down almost any primrose path or even into madness. In this important episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay explains this new form of propagandistic manipulation. Join him and prepare yourself.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 209

One of the best ways to understand something is to turn to its sources and see for ourselves. We've made a brand of that here at New Discourses, in fact. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes us back into Sayyid Qutb's 1964 book Milestones (https://amzn.to/4xviKeR), which is considered something of an intellectual underpinning for the Muslim Brotherhood and radical Islam ever since. He raises an important question about how seriously we should take Qutb and points out the problem that tens, if not hundreds, of millions of people already do. In this third episode of his series presenting Qutb's Milestones, he weaves a patchwork from all parts of the book to explain the basic nature of Islam, at least as Qutb and his followers see it. Join him for an eye-opening experience.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 208

In 1930, Adolf Hitler's chief ideologist for the Third Reich, Alfred Rosenberg, sought to write a new mythology for the twentieth century that was meant to be the foundational belief system for Nazis. The book he published was the second most important and popular book in the Third Reich, and it's called The Myth of the Twentieth Century (https://ia800405.us.archive.org/31/items/alfred-rosenberg-and-the-track-of-the-jew-through-the-ages/The%20Myth%20of%20the%2020th%20Century.pdf ). In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay continues his "Myth of the Blood" series exploring this book, now turning to Rosenberg's second chapter: "Love and Honor." Here, Rosenberg outlines why the Nordic Aryan (German) mentality is based on racial values of honor and duty as compared to Christian, Jewish, Russian, and Freemasonic values all rooted in love in one form of another, which makes them the ruin of civilizations. Join him for an interesting discussion into the pseudoscientific mythology of the Nazi movement and its strange attempt to ground a positive German identity on bizarre, grandiose lies.
