James Lindsay Goes to Oxford. They chose him to argue against the proposition “This House Believes Woke Culture Has Gone Too Far.” He made stellar arguments and made the case that, by its own words, woke culture can never go too far.

It’s interesting to read his account of the debate, having watched it the other night and being thoroughly impressed with his and Konstantin Kissin’s speeches.

Neither speaker resorted to cliche or just a restatement of the tired arguments and instead brought something new to the discussion.

Well worth a watch.

Yep. Plus, at least this person admits that "true social justice must eventually devolve into every single individual person in the world gets a seat at the table for every decision"...though this person would go to "and so do every pet, no, every animal, and every plant...if you want to do something you have to even ask every rock to give its okay."

James Lindsay can be difficult to listen to because when he gets going it sounds like it’s all some crazy conspiracy theory, but all he’s doing is translating the words of critical gender, queer and race theory proponents. His website is a fantastic resource when you need a definition of a term and don’t have time to go searching.

He was also raising the alarm over grooming long before LibsofTikTok and Matt Walsh.
