Thought-Terminating Cliches
New Discourses Bullets, Ep. 44 \n\nA powerful tool in the Woke Marxist toolbox is something called a "thought-terminating clich\xe9." These are short, pithy statements, demands, or slogans that are designed to stifle thought in their targets as well as in those saying them. "Check your privilege!" is a good example. So is "Trans women are women!" or "Believe all women!" No doubt, you will have been on the receiving end of hundreds of examples of this kind of damaging non-speech over the last several years, and it's helpful to have a name for it. Join host James Lindsay for this episode of New Discourses Bullets to learn all about them and their relevance to the Woke movement.\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.
