New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 88

Compliance can be extracted by tyrants from a population through a straightforward method of creating enmity between segments of the population. First, the population is split into those who comply with the tyrant's programs and policies and those who do not comply. If there are enough among the compliant, a demonization campaign we should call "hatecraft" is employed to pressure those dragging their feet to comply and to demonize those who refuse compliance. Perhaps no one in history was more skilled at these techniques, the politics of compliance, than Mao Zedong in CCP-controlled China. In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay breaks down the politics of compliance in detail, exposing the malicious tool behind exactly what we have been put through over the last several years. Join him to understand this powerful weapon in the hands of tyrants and how to resist it.

How Tyrants Force Compliance

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 89

Our future, if the Woke Marxists prevail, may well be to be made into "digital cattle." What does that mean? It means that we will be led into a state of dependency, perhaps using a Universal Basic Income, and enter into a remade (distributist) economy based on social credit, which is to say compliance with the state's agendas for us. To make this system work, both practically and in terms of control mechanisms takes incredible amounts of data. Like cattle who earn their feed by being raised for meat, we will earn our "basic income" by providing the data necessary to keep us under "sustainable" control. Join host James Lindsay in this frightening episode of New Discourses Bullets to understand a possible future in the so-called "technetronic era."

The United States of Hunger is a searing political essay that exposes the contradiction at the heart of the American project: a nation that praises freedom while punishing truth, and that celebrates justice while weaponizing hunger against the vulnerable. Through personal testimony and rigorous political reflection, Samuel Martínez Roque examines how systems built to protect citizens become tools of coercion for immigrants, where reporting abuse results in retaliation, where police defend threats as “protected speech,” and where bureaucracy functions as a modern form of cruelty. This essay exposes hunger as a political instrument, silence as a survival strategy, and truth as an act of rebellion. With unflinching clarity, Martínez Roque reveals how deprivation becomes policy, how the border becomes a stomach that digests the poor, and how liberty becomes a privilege reserved for those whose lives the system values. A philosophical, legal, and deeply human indictment of the American myth, The United States of Hunger asks the question the nation fears most: What kind of freedom is it when your survival depends not on how much English you speak, but on how much truth you can swallow just to be allowed to eat?
