Episode Details

In this episode of The Western Spirit, we spoke with Professor Eric Kaufmann, a Canadian author and professor of politics from the University of Buckingham, to explore the origins and rise of woke culture as well as the damage it causes. He explains how woke culture elevates historically disadvantaged race, gender, and sexual identity groups to a sacred status, while also examining the internal hierarchy that ranks certain groups as more oppressed than others. Our conversation delved into the emotional and narrative-driven forces shaping the movement, as well as the alliances and contradictions within it. Kaufmann also shared his strategies for pushing back: from leveraging government power to mobilizing conservatives and to crafting alternative cultural narratives.
