Summary
Eric Kaufmann is a professor of politics and Director of the Centre for Heterodox Social Science at the University of Buckingham. He is also Adjunct Fellow at the Manhattan Institute. We talk about his new book "The Third Awokening" and cover: how quasi-religious left-wing liberalism bears more responsibility for Wokeness than “radical neo-Marxist” Theory, the weaponization humanistic psychotherapy and trauma, “Be kind” as an ideology, the simple emotional structure behind it: minorities good, majorities bad—the making sacred of historically marginalized race, gender, and sexual minorities as a structure of taboos, conservatives' failure to win culture, his defense of negative liberty, Wokeness as a meme, Gen Z’s shift to the right, comparing the free speech climate of the US, the UK, and Canada, and the coming intensification of cultural politics.
