Anything James Lindsay says or does is a drop in the ocean. This is true for most internet commentators, even the big ones like Joe Rogan. Most normal people have no idea Joe Rogan even has a podcast, much less James Lindsay. The biggest impact this has is on younger people who are more internet connected but even among those, James Lindsay is a small voice.
While their messaging may still be worthwhile, I haven't seen any evidence that these voices on the internet are enough to be the deciding factor in the culture war.
The Left has been winning the culture war for three reasons:
They co-opted the education system in this country decades ago and have slowly been ramping up their propaganda over time with each subsequent generation being more brainwashed than the last.
They've been spreading their messaging via all popular media channels including Hollywood, television, pop music and news media. This also has been going on for decades.
Perhaps the most significant: the Left's message is sexy, the Right's message is not:
No personal responsibility, the government is always there to bail you out, have promiscuous sex without consequences, have no shame for anything, punish the rich, punch Nazis, fight for civil rights, get free stuff... these all appeal to humanity's base instincts and are particularly likely to find traction among younger people.
Compare this to: take personal responsibility, "clean up your room", stand on your own two feet, work hard, have kids, raise a family, exercise self-discipline, put the needs of your children before your own, respect the liberty of others... none of these things are going to appeal to people naturally, especially when they are young. They only begin to resonate with people once they realize how devoid of meaning the alternative messages are, and many simply never reach that realization.
While I think people like James Lindsey will help us overcome #2 above, it will take time. The closest we've come to addressing #3 is Jordan Peterson who made personal responsibility attractive to a lot of young people, particularly men. We will see if this trend continues. But we still have no response to #1 except just to pull kids out of schools and homeschool. Maybe this is enough? Time will tell.
So long as we allow women in the workforce and promote "equality", things will never improve. The negative changes to society isn't some communist conspiracy, it's natural female nature. Communism is female. Jews are matriarchal in nature (their behavior is more like women not white men), that's why the "stormfags" blame the Jews for everything, they have a point. What do matriarchal societies looks like irl and among monkeys? Bunch of effeminate men, lesbians and a mediocre society that oppresses strength and superiority.
Guys like Jordan Peterson refuse to address the real problem. Lindsay is a little closer. The solution to our problems are simple. We must create a hard patriarchy. Until we do, we'll continue to fail.
Women are pliable and will ultimately follow man's lead. Bad actors such as Leftist Democrats and Communists exploit women's nature for political reasons and then throw them away when they're no longer useful (see: "trans-radical feminists"). Communism was "invented" and aggressively implemented by men. Men are at the lead of the entire Leftist movement. There is definitely an effort to de-value masculinity and feminize the populace, but that's because the establishment wants them to be weak and obedient.
If you don't think there's been a conscious effort by Communists to subvert society in the last 50+ years, then you haven't been paying attention.
Communism is women's nature. Ever read the play assemblywoman? Google it, read it. Check the date it was written. Tell me again how communism is a man's idea. Ever wonder why it's effeminate men wanting communism? Why Jews tend to be more effeminate...
You think there's an organized conspiracy of communists that has subverted the entire world at every single facet of society? You're just seeing what happens to societies ad they become more matriarchal and less patriarchal. What you call communism is the woman's influence.
I don't know what you're on about. Communism was literally a man's idea. All of the foundational thinkers and leaders were men. I actually can't think of a single woman who was a substantial contributor to Communist theory.
Communism may be marketed as having feminine qualities in order to appeal to the masses but every actual implementation of Communism is far from feminine... it's as hard-line authoritarian as it comes and quickly devolves into a straight-up dictatorship. Like most things, there's a big difference between the messaging and the reality.

You're way too focused on women.

Like Stalin and Trotsky?
