Symbolic Capital and Activism
This chapter examines the ways both mainstream left and anti-woke figures engage in symbolic actions that fail to create genuine societal change. It emphasizes the shared characteristics of these groups and how their focus on surface critiques often undermines the progress they aim for, particularly regarding social justice and criminal justice reform. Additionally, the discussion highlights the alienation felt within communities as economic disparities widen, further complicating activism and creating disillusionment among those seeking meaningful reform.
