In a culture shaped by outrage, many people choose silence—not because they agree, but because speaking feels too risky.
In this episode of Derate The Hate, Wilk Wilkinson is joined by journalist and author Katherine Brodsky to discuss cancel culture, self-censorship, and the growing consequences of letting loud, unreasonable voices dominate public discourse.
Katherine is the author of No Apologies: How to Find and Free Your Voice in the Age of Outrage. Drawing from personal experience and historical perspective, she explains why courage is often rooted in moral clarity, not bravado—and why authenticity matters for both individual well-being and societal progress.
Together, Wilk and Katherine explore:
- Why self-censorship is becoming normalized
- How social media amplifies extremism
- The real dangers of government censorship
- Why people must be allowed to express “wrong” ideas to learn
- How authenticity leads to healthier relationships and communities
A thoughtful, grounded conversation about free speech, responsibility, and the quiet power of finding your voice.
