Not Woke, But Still Dangerous: The Rise of the Pagan Right


Listen Later

In this episode, I respond to feedback from my last show— regarding my thesis on the left—and expand on a theme that’s drawn strong interest: the so-called “woke right.” I don’t think that’s the right label. What we’re seeing isn’t “wokeness” on the right—it’s something older, stranger, and in some ways more dangerous.

We’ll explore:

Whether the left is consistent within its own worldview

What distinguishes Christianity from other Logos-based systems

Why “woke” is a term rooted in leftist ideology—and misapplied when used for the right

The rise of a pagan, conspiratorial, and millenarian right that rejects both truth and humility

The limits of the romantic Christian political project—and why we must take cultural reality seriously

This isn’t a blanket condemnation or a finished system. It’s an attempt to think out loud, diagnose trends, and hold fast to what is good.

I’d love your feedback:
