We've Passed Peak Woke (But What's Next Could Be Even Worse)
In Conversation with Dan Astin-Gregory
I enjoyed this conversation with Dan. We talked about how ‘wokeness’ arose, what it consisted of, how it works, the evidence that it is waning and the dangers of the illiberal anti-woke backlash.
I got a lot out of this interview; it helped clarify my thinking about all the topics discussed, and I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen a better explanation of “woke” on right and left than the one you give here, and in the more detailed explanations I found in an earlier post of yours.
Thanks for doing all this scholarly work; I’ll be using your ideas as reference for the things I want to write about the subject.
Maintaining consistent liberal principles doesn't scream loud, but is the only way to progressive, free and peaceful societies. You are great exactly in neutrally criticizing every illiberal and dogmatic extremism of every side.
