Deep dives
The Labour Government's Strategy on the Culture War
The new Labour government is reframing the cultural revolution by shifting attention from criticism to celebrating the inclusion of pride insignia at work. Despite symbolic gestures on race equality, the main strategy seems focused on greenlighting activists, avoiding direct legislative action, and allowing the culture war to persist within institutions.
Challenges in Addressing Gender and Race Issues
Labour's approach involves limited actions on gender and race areas like diversity in teaching history and addressing racial bias in mental health services. Resistance from the central government seems ineffective, leading to fears of increasing entrenchment of critical race and gender ideologies in schools.
Labor's Strategy of Allowing Activists to Drive Cultural Agenda
Labor's stance appears to avoid direct involvement in advancing cultural agendas, instead greenlighting activists to propagate ideologies in institutions. The party's aim may be to maintain neutrality while letting activists pursue their objectives, potentially influencing institutional norms and policies.
Potential Impacts of Leadership Dynamics on Cultural Policy
Concerns exist regarding potential leadership shifts within the Republican Party and the Conservative leadership contest. The focus on addressing cultural issues like diversity, equity, and inclusion may vary depending on internal dynamics and the willingness to prioritize cultural policies under new leadership.
Anti-white racism and Labour's culture war - we're a long way from peak woke.
On today's #NCFDeprogrammed, hosts Harrison Pitt and Connor Tomlinson are joined by Prof. Eric Kaufmann, author of Taboo: How Making Race Sacred Produced a Cultural Revolution.
