Dr. James Lindsay delivered a profound message on Human Events Daily with Jack Posobiec Tuesday about having the backs of peers going through “struggle sessions” which derive from Mao’s tactics to label his opposition as enemies of Communist China as well as urging Americans to not comply in these situations.
The two discussed the importance of understanding how struggle sessions mirror the situations happening in America right now with Jenna Ellis tearfully pleading guilty to felony charges in the Georgia RICO case under massive manipulation from DA Fani Willis and Owen Shroyer turning himself in for charges related to January 6th despite not seeing foot in the building.
Posobiec asked Lindsay, “How do we get out of this situation and back to something that's more stable for Americans, for kids trying to grow up and people just wanting to go back to their lives?”
Lindsay explained that the solution is two-fold. Firstly, Americans must come to recognize and call out global propaganda. He called on listeners to be a “landing pad” for their peers to go to when the information they receive is suspicious or confusing and to be open to discussion.
“That's part of the reason they've been so diligent at tearing apart families and friends, that those relationships are damaged or not there anymore,” he said, “for when people start to have doubts about the broader worldview that people around them are no longer available to go to. So you want to foster that and be that for those people.”
Secondly, those who are being pressured to admit to a false narrative must not comply, he explained.
“There's no coming back from a struggle session, Lindsay declared. “Once you comply, once you confess to imaginary crimes, you lose standing in every regard.”
“The people who are counting on you, who were in your corner, who were hoping you wouldn't do that, see you as faithless. The people who are interrogating you in the first place, see you as somebody they can manipulate.”
He elaborated that those watching the situation from a distance would assume guilt if the subject had in fact confessed “and they become convinced into the contrived world of the tyrant.”
Before concluding the show Lindsay made a point to speak on what to do if a peer is in fact going through a struggle session: “You have to stand with each other … You have to get people's back and help them when they're going through a struggle session. It's not just ‘don't break,’ it's ‘help your friends who they're going after as well.’ You must do this.”
