Courtenay on The Mikala Olson Podcast – 'Woke Right' and Cultural Subversion



How Repurposing Gramsci, the Frankfurt School, and Alinsky’s Tactics by the “Woke Right” Risks Eroding Constitutional Freedoms and Deepening America’s Political Divide

During our podcast break, enjoy this replay of Courtenay's appearance on The Mikala Olson Podcast from May 2025

Key topics:

  • Courtenay’s origin: Fleeing Santa Monica’s mandates, starting podcasting for "naked face" conversations, overcoming isolation with 750+ episodes.

  • Woke right phenomenon: Right-wing figures (e.g., Christopher Rufo) adopting Marxist tactics (Frankfurt School, Alinsky’s rules) to push agendas, mirroring left-wing strategies.

  • Historical tactics: Fabian incrementalism, indie media as propaganda, and the long march through institutions (e.g., churches, education) to subvert constitutions.

  • Cultural shifts: Grievance mentality, cancel culture, identity politics, and the erosion of critical thinking due to infiltrated education and psychology.

  • Solutions: Embracing principles over strategy, resisting outsourcing thought to personalities, and encouraging self-directed learning (e.g., scripture, primary sources).
