In "The New Puritans: How the Religion of Social Justice Captured the Western World," Andrew Doyle reveals the similarities between the destructive irrationality of 17th-century witch trials (and executions) in Salem and the illiberal collective mania afflicting modern society. Peter Boghossian interviews Doyle about themes explored, including the sly use of progressive language by Social Justice activists, the infection of major institutions, new segregation, "academic shibboleths," gender stereotypes, trans medical scandals, whistleblowers, the meaning of "left" and "right" ideology, the instinct for authoritarianism and much more.
