Woke privilege | Musa al-Gharbi
from The spiked podcast · host The spiked podcast
Woke privilege | Musa al-Gharbi The woke love to pose as the voice of the marginalised. All their activism, they say, is for the benefit of those who face oppression and discrimination. Here, Musa al-Gharbi – author of We Have Never Been Woke – explains why the real base for woke is the elite. The professional middle class and above use ‘progressive’ ideology to both compete among themselves and to justify their position above the masses. They pass off their own personal interests, he argues, as the interests of those at the bottom. This is a class war disguised as a culture war.
