James Lindsay joins Jenny Beth Martin for one of the most important conversations of the season: how antisemitism is rising not just on the left, but inside parts of the conservative movement — and who is engineering it. Lindsay, a mathematician and host of the New Discourses podcast, is one of America’s foremost critics of Marxism, critical theory, and identity politics. In this episode he traces “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion” back to its origins as a forgery produced by the Russian secret police, and shows how the very same conspiracy tropes are being recycled today and fed to young American men through podcasts, TikTok, and X.
Jenny Beth and James cover:
• Why antisemitism spiked on both the left and the right after October 7, 2023
• The proven forgery behind “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion”
• How lines lifted almost verbatim from Hitler’s writing are circulating online unattributed
• How Russia, China, and Iran weaponize social media to divide the MAGA coalition
• Critical pedagogy and the deliberate emotional agitation of young people
• The assassination of Charlie Kirk and the danger of normalizing political violence
• The legitimate foreign-policy debate versus antisemitic conspiracy thinking
• Why the constitutional American framework beats every radical European import
This is a history lesson, a media-literacy warning, and a call to personal responsibility all at once. Guard your mind, know your sources, and tune out the agitators.
