James Lindsay returns to the podcast for a fascinating conversation about the “woke right” which is essentially a resurrected version of the alt-right with a hipster twist. He and Bridget discuss the consequences of academia’s grievance culture spilling into society and the resulting self-censorship, how people felt freed by Trump’s election in realizing they weren’t alone, what to do when the mob comes for you, if there’s a way to escape post-modernism, the reality of the Russia/China bot problem on social media and the process by which they radicalize people. They also cover how an online movement can be pushed to extremism, the Christian Nationalist problem and what pastors are seeing on the ground in their churches, the resurgence of Antisemitism we’re seeing, how the distance between the virtual and the actual is getting smaller and smaller, ideological tyranny, Elon Musk, whether the West can be saved, and why we’re all fake news now.
