367: ‘The woke are like zombies’ | Gad Saad

This is the audio from a video we have just published on our YouTube channel – an interview with Gad Saad. To make sure you never miss great content like this, subscribe to our channel: https://www.youtube.com/@spiked Woke ideology is unfailingly irrational. Claims of systemic oppression in the West are easily disproven. And while activists claim to stand for tolerance and empathy, their intolerance and authoritarianism know no bounds. Here, Gad Saad – evolutionary psychologist, host of The Saad Truth and author of The Parasitic Mind – explains why woke spreads, despite its obvious dangers and contradictions. Indeed, it is the well educated, he argues, who are especially vulnerable to these infectious ideas. To win the culture war, we must inoculate society against this ‘mind virus’.
