James Lindsay knocks it out of the park in this 15-minute talk on how Maoism is being forced upon us through the "politics of compliance."
If you have been told that you have to adhere to a narrative of non-partisanship, that you have to be positive in all interactions with the opposition, that you can't say certain things even if they're true, then you are a victim of the politics of compliance. Watch to the end for Lindsay's antidote:
The Politics of Compliance, or how Maoism works in practice, as given at the fifth International Crisis Summit in Washington, D.C., at the end of February. It should feel uncomfortably familiar and gratefully clarifying.pic.twitter.com/PobU0qqczR
