Episode notes
Problematic Use of 'Woke Right'
- The term "woke right" exists but is often used as a vague term of abuse.
- It is unhelpful for clear discourse as it ambiguously lumps diverse groups together unfairly.
Use Specific Language for Sin
- We already have specific words for bad behaviors like ethnic hatred, so new buzzwords are unnecessary.
- Honest labels clarify issues without confusing or conflating groups with atheistic rhetoric.
Critical Theory's Flawed Paradigm
- Critical theory's oppressor-oppressed framework is a counterfeit of Christian justification by faith.
- This binary overlooks actual facts and complexity in issues of justice and oppression.
