Woke Conformity Should Terrify People - Karol Markowicz

Walk-Ins Welcome Episode #243

Writer Karol Markowicz sits down with Bridget to discuss her first book, Stolen Youth: How Radicals Are Erasing Innocence And Indoctrinating A Generation . They discuss the definition of "woke," not allowing kids to just be kids, how the trans movement got ridiculous, how a live and let live ideology has gone out the window, why a lot of people don’t really understand what’s going on out there, and the creation of a situation where you’re only allowed to think one way. They also cover how there’s no alternative avenues for parents of trans kids right now, where the right is making a mistake, why having a kid means you can’t ignore the culture war, the effectiveness of school shooter drills, being refugees from NYC and LA, why mockery is so powerful, and the most surprising thing she learned from writing this book.
