'Why Is Everyone Talking About Hegel?': James Lindsay and the New Critics of Utopia

Explaining a trend

The ghost of Hegel haunts the utopian vision of Klaus Schwab and the WEF

They will try to blame James Lindsay. Who, to be clear, deserves credit for first-rate scholarship and being the first to popularize the knowledge he had gained. But the truth about Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel and his intellectual heirs has always been out there, just waiting for someone to shine a bright light on it and call out loud until people noticed. James Lindsay is simply the man who did what was bound to be done, one day.

Lindsay’s critics, such as the Southern Poverty Law Center, antifa, and the various left-wing organizations working to cancel his public appearances, attempt to dismiss him as a “conspiracy theorist.” While it is certainly possible to disagree with Lindsay’s interpretation of current events — as I do, on some matters — his YouTube channel is in fact a first-rate textual study of the sources of leftist dogma, past and present, sometimes in excruciating detail. However, listening to Lindsay, and more importantly reading after him, turns out to be a rewarding experience, if you are up to the work.

Long story short: the godless ideological formulas driving politics around the world today make the most sense as a mystery cult movement, or even a religion. We have new prophets in place of the old ones. “God is dead,” Nietzsche declared, predicting s “superman” would replace the divine. Instead, we have become pagans. Our new gods have names like Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Sustainability, and of course, Safety.
