Antisemitism is rising on the right, and the playbook being used to radicalize young conservative men is older and darker than most people realize. In this episode of The Jenny Beth Show, host Jenny Beth Martin sits down with James Lindsay — mathematician, host of the New Discourses podcast, and one of the most prominent critics of Marxism, critical theory, and identity politics in America — to expose how century-old propaganda is being recycled to divide the MAGA movement from within. Lindsay walks through the real history of “The Protocols of the Elders of Zion,” a document forged by the Russian secret police more than 120 years ago, and shows how the same conspiracy tropes keep resurfacing — this time fed to young men through podcasts, TikTok, and X. He explains how lines pulled almost word-for-word from Hitler’s writing and from communist literature are reaching American kids who have no idea what they’re actually absorbing, and how foreign actors like Russia, China, and Iran weaponize social media to turn Americans against one another. Jenny Beth and James also dig into the assassination of Charlie Kirk, the danger of normalizing political violence, the legitimate debate over America’s foreign commitments, and why the constitutional, distinctly American answer beats every radical European import. This is a clear-eyed, history-grounded conversation about guarding your mind in a propaganda battle space — and taking personal responsibility for what you let in.
