The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 159

By virtue of the technological world we inhabit, we live in a propaganda-saturated environment. In fact, whether we like it or not, we all live in a psychological warfare battlespace, which requires us all to prepare ourselves for that environment. As ever, preparation begins with understanding. In this deep-diving episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay pulls back the curtain on "agitprop," the combination of agitation and propaganda to wage psychological and political warfare, ranging from Communists like Lenin to Nazis like Hitler. You won't want to miss this opportunity to learn how we're all being manipulated.

Agitation and Propaganda: The Battlespace of the 21st Century

James is the president and founder of New Discourses.com, an author, and one the most essential voices for making sense of the absurdity that has become our state of political discourse. Some of you may know him for his pioneering work in the Sokal Squared Hoax. We talk about critical social justice, the intellectual evolution of marxist, postmodern, and postcolonial ideas into intersectionality strain, White fragility, a new social justice encyclopedia, reflexivity, and how to confront creeping identity politics in everyday life.
