Have we passed peak woke—or is the next wave even more dangerous?
In this episode, Dan Astin-Gregory speaks with Helen Pluckrose—author of Cynical Theories and The Counterweight Handbook—to unpack the rise and evolution of Critical Social Justice ideology, its authoritarian tendencies, and what may follow in its wake.
We discuss:
Why wokeism spread so fast—and why it hasn’t truly gone away
How liberalism can offer a way forward amid polarisation
What individuals can do to push back with principle and clarity
