I bring you something different this weekend, a great conversation I had with the inimitable Benjamin Boyce, one of the OG’s in the anti-woke space, whose YouTube channel I have been following for years.
A few weeks ago, Boyce wrote a post on X that perfectly summed up my own ambivalence about internecine fighting in the anti-woke space, which you may have noticed if you spend too much time online like I do.
Who exactly is the ‘woke right’? Who gets to decide these labels? And what are these whacky kids in the ‘barbarian right,’ the ‘woke right,’ or the ‘unapproved right’ up to anyways?
We discuss Tucker, Trump, Konstantin Kissin, the anti-Semites and lady-haters, the normies and the youths. I end the whole thing by calling him a nerd, which was rude considering he was kind enough to give me his time.
Enjoy!
