The James Lindsay Bolshevik arc has been fascinating to watch. Over the past two years, James Lindsay has attacked the Christians he grifted off while promoting liberal solutions to problems created by liberalism. This, naturally, has him at odds with the Dissident Right, which includes Christian Nationalists. James Lindsay would go on an unhinged rant on what he calls the “woke right” without the self-awareness that he is actually woke himself. He calls out numerous people, most notably Auron MacIntyre crediting him with a takeover of The Blaze. Auron MacIntyre is a Blaze TV host and author of The Total State: How Liberal Democracies Become Tyrannies.
It must be said that the recent (~2 years ago) shift in voices at The Blaze represented a Woke Right takeover of part of that operation, perhaps most notably in the heavy promotion of Auron McIntyre, who is undoubtedly a fast-tracked (2020 on) Woke Right Inner School adept.
Let me make the point a little clearer for you regarding that last tweet: The Woke Right already has at least one major conservative media outlet significantly (but not totally) under its control. They have openly celebrated that (Carl) Schmittians run the show there now.
There is a constellation of smaller conservative-styled media outlets doing Woke Right activity, mostly podcast style, as well. In addition, there’s an outlet called New Founding and another called American Reformer that publish Woke Right and neo-Integralist literature.Beyond that, there’s a well-developed and well-funded network of activists in the Woke Right Inner School that are doing a variety of activities in “building a parallel economy,” which runs in parallel to what many conservatives have recognized a need to do in the last few years.
After discussing how the nebulous “woke right” is initiating a takeover of media, James Lindsay goes on to attack “regionalism” and movements to build communities of like-minded individuals. James Lindsay has no real solutions to political problems other than paying him so that he can tell you what Marxists write. Everything else is a trap.
Auron MacIntyre responded with levity.
From what I can only assume is his padded cell James Lindsay has constructed an elaborate conspiracy theory in which I have almost single-handedly captured conservative media in a a nefarious scheme to implement the Globalist Schmittian WEF agenda known as …. regionalism
MacIntyre mocks the idea of how building up regional strongholds amounts to being part of a globalist conspiracy.
The fact that Con Inc took this guy seriously and even elevated to a position of lecturing Christian leaders is an incredible indictment of the entire institutional apparatus
Auron MacIntyre concludes by highlighting the fact that Conservative Inc. took James Lindsay seriously to their detriment. Auron is right.
