I was recently asked why it is that people who are “Wokish,” meaning sympathetic to the Woke ideology even if they don’t take it on in full themselves, can’t see the harms caused by the Woke movement, which are, to everyone else, obvious if not glaring and egregious. In this episode of James Lindsay OnlySubs, I dive into the question by drawing upon psychological insights relevant to identity and the so-called “Backfire Effect” to provide an explanation and, hopefully, some useful recommendations for helping the Wokish people in your life learn to see the Woke problem for what it is.

Previous episodes of OnlySubs can be found here.
