I’m often asked why I would call some portion of the Right “Woke.” Of course, I find this question mystifying because I actually understand what the word “Woke” means and see clearly how it applies to these guys, both in terms of their actions and their underlying philosophies. It’s helpful to explore the issue, though, so in this long episode of James Lindsay OnlySubs, my subscribers-only podcast series, I take you all through much of another “Woke Right” essay, here about Carl Schmitt by C. Jay Engel and published on American Reformer. Once you start hearing it all laid out, it becomes incredibly obvious that what these guys are doing is just another critical theory against America, which makes them Woke. Come with me for this explanation.
