The recent National Conservatism conference in Britain brought
together an array of politicians, journalists, and academics of
varying stripes of conservatism, but united by their hostility to
so-called woke politics. I spoke to Aurelien Mondon about his
recent article in Jacobin, Right-Wing Grifters Love to Say They’re
“Canceled” — but Get All the Elite Support They Want, in which
Aurelien provided ten rules for making a successful career in the
anti-woke grift. We talked about some of those rules, and the
extent to which liberal media outlets that have provided platforms
for the Matt Goodwins and Jordan Pertersons of this world might now
be regretting doing so. We also talked about the extent to which
the 'war on woke' is a rehashing of traditional conservative
themes, and Aurelian addressed the claim that, in spite of being
sometimes poorly paid and living in rented accommodation, left wing
academics and cultural producers can plausibly be described as
being part of a 'New Elite' that dominates our politics.
