New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 55 

In the Declaration of Independence, Thomas Jefferson famously used a curious phrase to describe man's fundamentally inalienable rights: "among these, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." What many do not know is that Jefferson was riffing off and augmenting a similar formulation from John Locke, who argued that we have inalienable rights to life, liberty, and property. Locke further argued that our right to property is meaningful in that the free use of our property is a means to enable our pursuit of happiness, thus explaining the meaning in Jefferson's phrase. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down these inalienable rights and why they matter so much, especially in fighting against Woke Marxism. Join him to learn why they are at the center of everything we must protect and the primary target for any tyrant who would rule over us.

On Life, Liberty, and Property

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.
