James Lindsay walks through the real origin of “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” — a document produced by the Russian secret police between 1899 and 1902, plagiarized from a French satire, and used to scapegoat Jews so a failing czar could consolidate power. Lindsay, a mathematician and host of the New Discourses podcast, explains how the forgery was exposed within two decades, how Hitler admitted it was fake yet “true in spirit,” and how the very same tropes are being recycled today and fed to Americans online.
In this clip:
• Who actually created the document and why
• How it was proven to be a direct plagiarism
• Why Hitler embraced it even knowing it was fabricated
• How the same conspiracy lines resurface in modern feeds
