Dr. James Lindsay in two separate discussions about the culture wars

Post by Belle » Thu Apr 11, 2024 5:22 pm

Here is a wonderful discussion from the UK between Dr. James Lindsay from the USA with Winston Marshall. Dr. Lindsay commented on what he thought was the precarious state of the UK at present (and I agree), and he displayed great concern about this. When Marshall rebutted that the USA was much the same Dr. Lindsay interjected that it wasn't really, because Americans still love their country and you'll see the flag flying, unlike the UK where the people seem to openly despise their own nation and its history. It was a devastating comment and testament to the gruesome work of the post-modernists in the institutions.

Dr. Lindsay (his PhD is in Mathematics) recently spoke about his concerns at the ARC conference in England. An intellectual heavyweight like Dr. Lindsay, with his poise, confidence and assurance, is greatly comforting for those of us who have been exhausted and exasperated by the culture wars. Like Marshall, he cops the usual cheap, low-resolution accusations about being 'a fascist'.

And Dr. Lindsay again - talking to a self-declared British Marxist Aaron Bastani - unpacking reasons why the Left supports Palestine. This discussion was facilitated by Unherd and is conducted with respect and intelligence.
