" The problem is that false prophets of peace, be they Neville Chamberlain or Barack Obama or Tucker Carlson or Greta Thunberg, will never believe there is any worse outcome than war."
I have noticed People like Candace Owens/Tucker Carlson are getting some Real Push Back at last.
The "Woke Right" has become something of an obsession of mine.
The Nazi Experiment, Vol. 1: The Nazi Racial Worldview
Jun 13, 2025 The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 167
As recently introduced on the New Discourses Podcast, the Nazis performed an experiment of sorts (https://newdiscourses.com/2025/03/wok...) between the mid 1920s and 1945, when that experiment met its catastrophic end. Framing what they did as an experiment is a valuable perspective. They found themselves in a certain set of unpleasant societal conditions, and they turned to Nazism to solve their problems. It failed. Miserably and disastrously. That experiment is therefore a warning to the world: if you find yourselves in conditions that seem similar, do not go the way of the Nazis. In this New Discourses podcast series, host James Lindsay walks the listener through portions of Hitler's Mein Kampf to explain clearly what the basis for the Nazi Experiment was, so that we might understand it. In this first episode, he reads from Chapter 1 of Volume 2 of that wretched book to explain the Nazi racial worldview (weltanshauung), which built the state we know and rightly hate on deliberate, knowing "racialism" (racism). Join him to understand and to see how close history is to rhyming again
"History has been unkind to this ilk of peacenik, whether wearing the garb of the isolationist, the environmentalist, the hippie, or the Free Palestine tent dweller."
Ever notice they are Very Often the same people/organizations?
I remember when John McCain lost the election in 2008. We were talking and I said, sorry about the loss. And he responded, I'm not going to lie, winning is always better. Amen.

There's no question that this has created a real split in the MAGA movement. The follow on question is, does it last and who wins?

If I have one criticism This is 90 minutes. Too Long for most people. James should do more Clips 10-15 minutes.

Ms. Pletka, let me add one more lesson from history, "There is no substitute for victory."-- General of the Army Douglas MacArthur.

Wondering what the knock-on effects will be to Putin and Xi. Maybe they're not as secondary as we think?
