Unpacking the Woke Right, White Identity Politics & The Equality Fight
In Episode 264 of Derate The Hate, host Wilk Wilkinson welcomes Hunter Ash and returning guest Julian Adorney for a bold, honest, and highly relevant conversation on the rise of woke right identity politics, the pitfalls of anti-racism orthodoxy, and how we might build a more unified, equitable society without falling into the traps of division and fear.
🔥 What we cover:
- The rise of white identity politics and the “woke right”
- How anti-racism initiatives can backfire on the goal of true equality
- The dangerous cycle of reifying group divisions in the name of justice
- DEI, critical race theory, and the real-world consequences of policy
- Building bridges beyond the binaries of left vs. right
👥 Julian Adorney, writer and contributor to Reality’s Last Stand, shares key insights from his article, “Why Christians Must Reject the Woke Right’s Answer to Racism,” offering a hopeful path forward grounded in empathy, faith, and individual dignity.
🎯 Hunter Ash, a bold new voice from the dissident right, challenges mainstream narratives and presents the uncomfortable truths behind many rising sentiments in post-woke conservatism.
