Description
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 28
Understanding Woke Marxism means more than just understanding their Theory. It also requires understanding their activity, which also helps you counter it. One of the most pervasive techniques used by Woke Marxism is "dialectical inversion." In dialectical inversion, the authority in a situation is inverted by applying the dialectical trick of seeing two things that are opposed to one another as parts of the same whole. Then the good thing is diminished, allowing the Woke incursion to look better by default. The usual trick is to say "everything is political," from which follows "the way you do what you do is political." From that dialectical point of false equality, the inversion is a simple matter of shaming through rhetorical judo. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down the technique of dialectical inversion and gives several clear examples. Join him and learn how to fight back!
