Author and staff writer at The Atlantic Thomas Chatterton Williams returns to Bad Faith to discuss his controversial piece calling out conservatives for indulging in the kind of strict linguistic orthodoxy (see: "Gulf of America") and curtailment of speech they've long accused liberals of indulging in. He and Briahna discuss backlash from former wokescolds who didn't like to see themselves reflected in Thomas's piece, evaluate the respective roles BLM and October 7th played in shifting attitudes around "wokeness," and finally debate whether Thomas should be a socialist.
