    In the fight against the Woke, there is so much to be done. Luckily, there are also many hands eager to help in the work. Personally, as I travel the country and speak and meet with thousands of everyday Americans, many express to me their fear that they're too small to make a difference. Nothing could be further from the truth! In this episode of New Discourses Bullets, I, James Lindsay as your host share an important message about how everyone, no matter how small they feel against the global threat we all face, can make a huge difference. Join me for this inspiring little message.

    Puberty blockers are made by Endo Pharmaceuticals whose major investors are BlackRock and Vanguard. They charge $48,800 per child per year for puberty blockers. The active ingredient in the current puberty blocker was in a previous drug that Endo made. That drug cost $4,800 per child per year in 2004.

    My younger sister went to college right before covid started.
    A few years ago, she came home crying about this insane book called "Glitch Feminism" which she was assigned as class reading.
    The chapter which she was assigned applauded a film called "Playground" which encourages and normalizes internet pedophile grooming, characterized the events of the film as 'an opportunity for [the young girl] to explore her sexuality and awaken.'
    Me and my family were so horrified that we had to learn what was happening.
    This made me realize how wicked the world has become.
    Because of this, I found your channel, and your videos about DQSH and Sand in the Gears inspired me to run for my local school board.
    I got on, and now I'm in an insane war with radical socialists who are trying to overtake the entire town.

    I tried to do a small thing and provide info for a small church group to equip them to get say into a school board or something. Next time I saw them I asked how's it going. "Too busy.''
    There is a group of activists protesting a Canadian banks involvement in the petroleum industry. I tried to start a conversation with them and they verbally attacked me quite violently. Soooo ....
    I'm very old, half-blind, cognitively impaired, partly crippled and COMPLETELY isolated. Don't know what I can do. Seems to me I am smaller than small. I have also noticed that old people are considered pretty much worthless in Canadian culture.
    Thanks James. Keep 'em flying.

      I had a friend I admired for being so gregarious and so often hosting get-togethers and parties.
      Turns out when I asked her about how she did it, she often got refusals, but she just kept asking people.
      Somehow she popped into my mind when I read your brave attempts.

    “You piece of dirt! No, I'm wrong. You're lower than dirt. You're an ANT! Let this be a lesson to all you ants! Ideas are very dangerous things! You are mindless, soil-shoving losers, put on this Earth to serve us!” said Hopper the Grasshopper.
    Flik the Ant replied, “You're wrong, Hopper. Ants are not meant to serve grasshoppers! I've seen these ants do great things, and year after year they somehow manage to pick food for themselves *and* you. So-so who is the weaker species? Ants don't serve grasshoppers! It's *you* who need *us*! We're a lot stronger than you say we are... And you know it, don't you?”

    No one is too small to make a difference but the malevolent actors and the cowards that prop them up will ALWAYS try to make it as difficult as possible for you to "start the avalanche". This is important to keep in mind when you are feeling a bit down on your luck or a little defeated. I wish you the best of luck James.

    Judy Feld Carr
    Canadian musicologist
    The Canadian Jewish woman who helped rescue Syrian Jews from Syria was Judy Feld Carr. Born in Montreal, Canada, Judy led a clandestine operation from 1975 to 2000, successfully smuggling more than 3,228 Jews out of Syria. She raised funds through various means and used her underground network to bring Syrian Jews across heavily guarded borders into Lebanon or Turkey. Her efforts were largely kept secret, and she faced significant risks, as those caught attempting to escape faced severe consequences.

    I will run off from the rest of the group to get kidnapped by orcs and my friends have to run a thousand miles to come rescue me and then get diverted to protecting a castle and almost dying only to find me kicking back with a cigar and a drink.

    By Marxian logic: the "smaller" the voice of resistance, the better! Violent social change can only happen with the support or complacence of the proletariat. For the Marxist revolutionary, any resistance to the progam must be shut down in order for the process to procede -- meaning that all resistance to communism is important.
    Just don't expect it to be easy because it is "small."

It seems silly, how could I make a difference, but things like this keep me going. I can’t remember who said this, but I once heard “If you’re ever wondering why is no one doing this? Who’s gonna do this? It’s probably you”

      @BurghezulDjentilom, that is true. However, the principals of power and guidance are better for the context provided. Tolkien can't specify the adversary enough for LotR to be the best example for modern issues. I think it's fine. But Dune's right smack accurate.

    I disagree. To demonstrate this, let me ask you a question: Name one thing I have changed your mind on. I voice my disagreements with you quite often, so it shouldn't be too hard to summon an example.
    To get more in my personal history, for awhile I was pretty big in biblical apologetics. Not that "it gives people hope" schtick. I mean debating over biology, geology, physics, the real stuff. Now, from the Christian perspective, the most important thing you can do is save someone's soul. On that standard, everything I did was an abject failure. Not once have I managed to convince anyone to back down, change their mind, or get saved. Instead, all I did was embolden the religious zealotry of atheists, making them more confident and competent at arguing than ever before. At best I was neutral in this grand cosmos, but if I were to believe the others all I have done is driven people away from Christ after witnessing me and what happened to me.
    I'm quite autistic, so I have several traits that make me bad at debating, both IRL and online. It was here that I learned this lesson: not everyone is a fighter. When you tell people who really shouldn't be fighting to get in the ring, the end result is their opponents get a whipping boy to practice their skills and make an example out of. Throwing hordes of feeble mooks into the fray just gives the enemy free experience points to level up. A bad fight makes a bad example, and further discourages allies while emboldening enemies. The stories of underdogs fighting the system to make a difference, those are examples of survivorship bias. You don't hear the stories about all of the people who just made things worse when they tried to fight the woke.
    I write these comments, largely because my conscious won't leave me still if I don't, forever frustrated at the fact that it amounts to nothing. If you disagree, then give me an example: name one thing I have changed your mind on.

He was reading us Externalization of the Hierarchy by Allison Bailey LONG before Postmodernism was cool. But we have James Lindsay to thank for bringing it back to public awareness. Lets shine a light on these duckers.
