Deep dives
The Concept of the Woke Right
The term 'woke right' refers to a faction within ultra-conservatism that adopts progressive or leftist rhetoric and strategies while maintaining traditional conservative values. This phenomenon is characterized by individuals who perceive themselves as victims of a grand conspiracy tied to liberalism and often exhibit a rejection of classical liberalism principles. They typically believe that communism is the logical endpoint of liberalism and that the societal structures serve to suppress their values and identity. Through this lens, members of the woke right see their actions as a form of resistance against a pervasive ideological hegemony that they believe marginalizes their perspectives.
