let's say we see or hear something ridiculous and we only see a snapshot of it um first of all like
00:00:10.480
get the full context make sure we accurately represent what was stated or what was claimed
00:00:16.580
and then we can tear it apart but like there's no use in trying to tear something apart
00:00:22.280
if you're misquoting if you haven't done a double check like it's part of part of like pointing this
00:00:31.960
out to lindsey is like you're kind of looking like an idiot right now um because anybody who's
00:00:39.360
see like who's listened to the long-form content from martyr made from daryl cooper
00:00:45.080
like it it's these two these two worlds seem so far apart when you hear him like describe these
00:00:53.400
issues he's like he's a nazi apologist and he's like well here's 30 minutes of him describing some
00:01:01.280
of the horrific atrocities of the nazis and condemning them and like trying to really connect
00:01:06.340
people with how impactful it was and like highlighting these stories i'm like that's not really a nazi
00:01:13.160
apologist of like somebody who would spend that amount of time front end on a series and he's
00:01:19.420
returned to these things and like it's not like he's like all the evidence is to the contrary but
00:01:25.360
if you haven't explored it then you would look at a random shit post a random tweet or two minutes of
00:01:34.740
the tucker carlson interview and you conclude otherwise without the context well and i don't even think that
00:01:41.360
that's i don't even think it was a good you know like i don't even think if you only saw that two
00:01:46.220
minute clip and you concluded that he was a nazi apologist i still think even even just with that
00:01:50.920
information to conclude that is silly but especially in the context of his huge corpus of written and
00:01:58.760
recorded work it's even sillier again i'm going to compliment james lindsey this is partly what makes
00:02:04.900
him so effective and so so good at drilling down bullshit and like getting to the truth of things
00:02:11.520
is because he can see threads and kind of intertwine them and and figure out where things lead to and
00:02:18.280
from and and the the root causes of things and the underlying intentions of things however
00:02:22.520
in some cases this can lead you to this sort of conspiratorial thinking where a guy who a historian
00:02:30.940
of and a fan of uh certain revisionist historical topics uh who had a relatively medium-sized you
00:02:38.880
know small to medium-sized podcast since 2015 somehow overnight becomes an agent of uh the dialectic
00:02:48.520
and his is his goal is to subvert the constitution and to overthrow westerns like what like that's not
00:02:54.780
like you gotta that's why i said initially you gotta zoom out and see like this very obviously
00:03:00.800
cannot be the case it it just really reeks of a um kind of a hair trigger response to certain terms
00:03:09.880
or certain concepts that like you said you know there there isn't a curiosity to seek the actual
00:03:18.120
you know reality of what this person truly believes because that leads further into the trap of the
00:03:25.260
you know oh he's just setting traps and he's just trying to like subvert it's not it's not a
00:03:30.740
healthy response in this case like i can see why you know he's james lindsey specifically has sort of
00:03:36.540
built a career on this kind of um drilling down to the nuts and bolts of social issues and and
00:03:42.600
pointing you to the fact that the reason why we think nowadays you know it's common to think that
00:03:49.240
you know race relations are such you know the way they are is actually because of how power relations
00:03:55.460
were the original marxian literature he can make connections like that but in some cases it leads
