Who Is to Blame for Wokeness?

Musa al-Gharbi, a sociologist from Stony Brook University and author of 'We Have Never Been Woke', dives deep into the roots of wokeness and how it has been shaped by social dynamics. He argues that the narrative surrounding wokeness often ignores the role of 'symbolic capitalists' who wield ideas as a form of social currency. The conversation critiques the manipulation of ideologies by elites and challenges listeners to rethink blame in societal issues while exploring the complexities of media influence and professional standards in modern society.
