  • Summary

  • Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Peter Boghossian about the cost of combating woke ideology, including facing protests and investigations for discussing free speech at his former university; how the rise of identitarian leftism destroyed the Left’s concerns with economics and the class struggle; his disappointment in the lack of pushback from colleagues in academia; the consequences of woke policies, contrasting cities like Portland with Miami; whether leftist leaders in blue cities understand the effects of their policies or use their failures to justify radical agendas; why he finally left teaching at Portland State University; the rationale that leftist mayors use to explain why their policies lead to urban decay; how their prioritization of compassion over law and order exacerbates societal problems; the impact of ideological indoctrination in universities; his inability to challenge students' thinking; the lack of scientific evidence behind gender-affirming care for minors; the erosion of medical ethics; how he was wrong about how our society would adapt to a secular belief system; the dilemma facing remaining liberals concerning their political choices; the possibility of liberals moving Right due to dissatisfaction with the Left; the need for non-Trump alternatives; the shift in societal attitudes concerning immigration and Islam; and much more.
