I sat down with political scientist and co-founder of Unified Solutions America Wilfred Reilly to discuss the state of the woke left, the toxic feedback loop between radical feminism and the manosphere, and the ongoing battle over American identity.
We get into:
The SPLC federal indictment and allegations of funding white supremacist groups
Why woke isn’t dead and how society keeps moving to the left
How radical feminism set the stage for the manosphere to thrive
Why young men and women have stopped getting together
The “toaster lover problem” and how the internet concentrates fringe behavior
Why neither the woke left nor the red pill right works for normal people
The Hamas-Israel conflict and why Reilly says Israel is clearly in the right
America as Rome and whether we’re heading toward empire
Race, IQ, and how to have an honest conversation about group differences
