Bad Faith And The Backlash Against 'Wokeism'

I talked on today's Bad Faith Times podcast about a conversation I eavesdropped on at the driving range in 2020 that foretold the American right's dangerous, anti-democracy backlash to the Black Lives Matter movement.

Unless your friends and family have been vacuum sealed and protected against the brain-altering venom of the Culture Wars, you know “woke” has, quite tragically, become a catchall term for anything a conservative doesn’t like. Anything that scares or annoys a reactionary is woke. Women fighter pilots flying jets

I also had the displeasure of showing how and why renowned, brain-poisoned intellectual Jordan Peterson lies about his real views on transgender people.

Thanks to all the good folks who support Bad Faith Times. You can become a member here if you're into it. As always, there is an audio-only version for those who can't deal with my weird facial expressions.
