Show Notes
From conservative media outlets to the campaign trail, there’s nothing the right loves to obsess over more than wokeness. Their claim is that an obsession with political correctness has veered into authoritarianism — and that culturally, intellectually, and politically, we’re all worse off for it. We think it’s worthwhile to open up a debate about whether or not this argument actually holds up. Aren’t powerful Republicans the ones moving to restrict abortions, gay marriages, and a host of other basic rights? When leftists attempt to oppose military aid to Israel or criticize right-wing governments, right-wingers in power quickly lose their concerns about censorship, political targeting, and suppression of free speech. Which side can rightfully be accused of authoritarianism?
That’s the crux of our discussion with YouTubers Adam and Sitch, rejoining the show to talk about wokeness versus anti-wokeness and debate which side has the tendency to censor and repress. You can listen to this episode as a podcast on Spotify, Pandora, Apple Podcasts, and more.
