Milestones, Vol. 3: The Basic Nature of Islam

June 17, 2026 • 87 mins
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 209 One of the best ways to understand something is to turn to its sources and see for ourselves. We've made a brand of that here at New Discourses, in fact. In this episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay takes us back into Sayyid Qutb's 1964 book Milestones (https://amzn.to/4xviKeR), which is considered something of an intellectual underpinning for the Muslim B...

The Myth of the Blood, Vol. 3: Love as the Enemy of Race and Honor

June 12, 2026 • 142 mins
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 208 In 1930, Adolf Hitler's chief ideologist for the Third Reich, Alfred Rosenberg, sought to write a new mythology for the twentieth century that was meant to be the foundational belief system for Nazis. The book he published was the second most important and popular book in the Third Reich, and it's called The Myth of the Twentieth Century (https://ia800405.us.archive.org/31/ite...

What Are The Protocols of the Elders of Zion?

June 10, 2026 • 26 mins
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 163 As antisemitic and anti-Jewish propaganda rises across the West (largely catering to recent imported audiences), we're forced to confront its most egregious and damaging source, a 1903 book compiled by the Russian Tsar's Secret Police (Ohkrana) called The Protocols of the Elders of Zion. This fabrication was a bit of darkest black propaganda organized by the Russian Empire's tyrannical leadership be...

How American Foreign Aid to Israel Supports America

June 5, 2026 • 27 mins
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 162 We hear a lot these days about the foreign aid money the United States sends to Israel, but most people don't know how that money works. Now, we see Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu calling to wind down and terminate that foreign aid deal, which operates under a "Memorandum of Understanding" agreement, while President Trump seems less happy about it. Why would Israel want out and Trump be u...

Radical Ideology as Therapy for the Humiliated Psyche

June 3, 2026 • 94 mins
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 207 Radical ideologies have many things in common. Among them, it increasingly seems apparent, is a psychological structure that can only be described as psychopathological. In this groundbreaking episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay explores the interesting idea that perhaps what these radical ideologies are all ultimately answering is a profound sense of hum...

What Seizing the Means of Production Really Means

June 1, 2026 • 27 mins
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 160 At the heart of the Communist project is "seizing the means of production." But what does this really mean? Is it just taking control of factories and farms and "expropriating the expropriators," as Marx had it, or is there something deeper? In this fascinating episode of New Discourses Bullets, host James Lindsay takes a unique look at the concept of seizing the means of production in terms of taki...

Totalitarianism and Fantasies of the Sinless Man

June 1, 2026 • 24 mins
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 161 Totalitarian projects are peculiar. They're obsessed with telling us who man is and then controlling who man can become from their unique theories about our true nature. Within each, though, is a particular fantasy about who man is outside of sin (and what defines the nature of sin and depravity). The theological word, at least in Christian circles, for this sinless man is "prelapsarian man," that i...

Where Communism Really Started

May 29, 2026 • 125 mins
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 205 Where did Communism really come from? Did it originate with Karl Marx? Is it... "Jewish"? The answers to these latter questions are no. Communism arose out of a combination of German idealism and French socialism, and the first documents on the subject were composed in France. In fact, not only that, the first revolutionary Communist was a Frenchman as well, Francois-Noel "Gra...

The Nazi Experiment, Vol. 15: Hitler's Land Equity Argument for Lebensraum

May 22, 2026 • 106 mins
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 205 One of the things the Nazi Experiment series tries to do on the New Discourses Podcast is to bust popular myths about the Nazis that have popped up in recent years for new audiences. One of these myths is that the Nazis didn't start out with any designs to conquer Europe, which ultimately precipitated World War II. In fact, they did have these ambitions going back to the earli...

Introducing the Nazi Myth of the Blood

May 18, 2026 • 18 mins
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 159 Underneath the Nazi program in Germany was a worldview, what Hitler called the "racialist worldview." At the very foundations of that worldview lurks a dark and peculiar pseudoscientific mythology. Hitler's "Chief Ideologist" Alfred Rosenberg called it "the Myth of the Blood" and presented it in a book called The Myth of the Twentieth Century, which he published in 1930. In this episode of New Disco...

The Myth of the Blood, Vol. 2: Aryan Dynamism and the Living Revelation

May 15, 2026 • 91 mins
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 204 The Nazi mythology, the so-called "Myth of the Blood," refused the idea of a static, "monist" world, one built on a single thesis, one morality, and one unchanging God. Instead, it favored polarization and dynamism as the fundamental Law of Nature. This fact is clearly laid out and explained in Alfred Rosenberg's 1930 word The Myth of the Twentieth Century, which serves as the...

How Society Works

May 11, 2026 • 26 mins
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 158 How does society work? That seems like an important question for people who live in societies and are thus tasked, whether they like it or not, with keeping the thing going. The answer is pretty surprising, actually, and it all boils down to how we incentivize people to work in ways that benefit other people even when they don't know or care about those other people. Drawing off Friedrich Hayek's ar...

The Nazi Experiment, Vol. 14: Germany Is Not an Economic Zone

May 8, 2026 • 82 mins
The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 203 Among the peculiar anxieties that fueled the Nazi Experiment in Germany in the 1920s and 1930s was the fear that Germany would be relegated to merely economic participation in a broader world order, causing Germans and Germany to subordinate their personalities and race to merely economic concerns. Of course, this anxiety exists again today and motivates the reactive and trans...

Did Jews Move to Palestine Legally?

May 4, 2026 • 33 mins
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 157 One of the most contentious issues in the modern world, raging now for at least a century, is the issue of the legality of Jewish settlement and statehood in Israel. There are strong arguments on both sides of this difficult issue, but there's a narrow question involved as well: Did the Jews move to the region legally (or are they illegal settler-colonialists)? In the effort to put some clarifying i...

Heroism and Honor in the Fascist Mind

April 24, 2026 • 25 mins
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 156 Central to the psychological and social construction of both Fascists and Nazis are the concepts of heroism and honor. These sound good, like sound foundations of society. Then again, from the Marxist Left, so do fairness and justice. In both cases, though, we find a rule of totalitarian systems: the virtues are defined in terms of the totalitarian project itself. Under Fascist and Nazi thinking, he...

Fascism and the Naturalistic Fallacy

April 13, 2026 • 15 mins
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 155 Underneath the hood of Fascism is a heavy insistence that its program aligns with various aspects of Nature. Generally, the belief that something being "natural" (right or wrong in the assessment) means that it is also good is referred to as the "naturalistic fallacy." That means it is an error. That something is "natural" does not necessarily imply that it is good. In this episode of New Discourses...

The Creepy Real Meaning of Fascism as Corporatism

April 10, 2026 • 11 mins
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 154 Father of Italian Fascism, Benito Mussolini, is famous for having remarked that Fascism can be summarized simply enough as "corporatism." When we hear this, many of us assume it refers to an ideology of the state being fused with its corporations. That's part of the economic program of Fascism, no doubt, but that's not actually what it means. What it means is much more concerning and creepy. The wor...

The American Experiment: Federalist 51 and Political Realism

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 200 At the end of the day, the magic that makes the American Experiment work is that it is grounded in an astute understanding of human nature and political realism. Almost nowhere is this fact more evident than in Federalist 51 (https://founders.archives.gov/documents/Hamilton/01-04-02-0199), written by either James Madison or Alexander Hamilton in early 1788.
