Mid-Level Violence

Published: March 16, 2023, 2:51 p.m.

New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 41 \n\nA key tactic in the Woke Marxist activism toolbox is an unconventional warfare technique known as "mid-level violence," or, in other words, strategic provocation. In this strategy, agitators will engage in behavior that, if accepted, moves one of their mass-line agendas along or that, if resisted, provokes a reaction that can be framed as an unjust overreaction ("wound collecting" or "crybullying"). They are masters at this. In fact, it's Antifa's bread-and-butter tactic, and its goal is always to put its target into a dilemma of giving in and demoralizing (https://newdiscourses.com/2023/02/demoralization) themselves or reacting and thus being portrayed as having overreacted (https://newdiscourses.com/2023/02/action-reaction-and-beautiful-trouble). Join host James Lindsay in this episode of New Discourses Bullets as he explains how this malicious tactic works.\n\nOrder James Lindsay's new book, The Marxification of Education: https://amzn.to/3RYZ0tY\n\nSupport New Discourses: https://newdiscourses.com/support\n\nFollow New Discourses on other platforms: https://newdiscourses.com/subscribe\n\nFollow James Lindsay: https://linktr.ee/conceptualjames\n\n\xa9 2023 New Discourses.
