Where There's Woke

  • Summary

  • Every single time the right, or even center-left, goes ballistic over a "woke" controversy, the slightest bit of investigation shows the scandal is almost entirely bogus. This is not a new phenomenon; it dates back decades. It's an intentional tool used to protect the powerful and preserve the status quo, while further scapegoating and otherizing those who push for political progress. This podcast digs into not just today's fake scandals, but those of yesterday and yesteryear. The terminology has changed some, but the pattern has not. Listen in as host Thomas Smith shines a light on the panic, the fragility, the overreaction, and the lying that ignites 'Where There's Woke.'

  • WTW64: Did Students Shut Down Bipartisan Free Speech Event at Yale Law School?

    WTW64: Did Students Shut Down Bipartisan Free Speech Event at Yale Law School?
    Sep 30 2024

    This is -sort of- part 8 of our series, Jon Ronson's Things Fell Apart Falls Apart

    S2E6 of Things Fell Apart has yet more anti-woke propaganda and credulous reporting. But before we even get to the meat of that, Ronson plays a few audio clips of some anti-woke scare stories. I decided it would be a good idea to focus on those and do some side quests, which are also still relevant to his BS framing but allow us to take some detours and a break from 100% Ronson.

    This first one: Did students at Yale Law shut down a free speech event? Were police called? Why did they do that? How snowflakey could these woke snowflake students get? Orrrrrrr was maybe something else was going on...
