The Catastrophic Failure of the "Woke Right" Astroturf
2024 saw a coordinated effort from the 'acceptable face of the right', the likes of James Lindsay, Konstantin Kisin and Eric Weinstein, who all tried (and failed) to introduce the idea of the "Woke Right" .
What is Woke Right?
A well-developed and well-funded network of activists who are doing a variety of activities in building a parallel active economy and are strategically targeting geographical areas to begin to consolidate power and initiate a plan called regionalism which is ultimately a WEF globalist plan.
Thankfully, people aren't buying it. Lindsay and Kisin come across as rather inorganic, and along with their inability to criticise Isreal, they are now suspected as being astroturfed by the system.
People see through it. They might agree with their anti-woke sentiments to some extent, but they don't have that genuine connection, that trust.
Ultimately, politics, as Bertrand de Jouvenel argued, is about the ability to influence people to act. Lindsay and Kisin commanded their followers to adopt this "woke right" label, and their followers, by and large, said no. Their peers pushed back, and even neutral observers could see they failed to influence anyone.
