On this episode of Don’t Know Much About, Dr. Naya Lekht is joined by James Lindsay, a leading voice on the rise of the “woke right.” Together, they unpack the origins of this movement, examine who may be driving it, and, most alarmingly, discuss why young American patriots are embracing Marxist frameworks rooted in grievance narratives, leaving them vulnerable to dangerous antisemitic and antizionist ideas.
