[De-woke] I’m not politically homeless, there are squatters in my house.

In this transcript, the speaker apologizes for his previous absence and discusses his journey of questioning and reevaluating his political beliefs within the feminist movement and the larger political left. He introduces the concept of “woke nest,” which he defines as a faction or sect of extremists within the left that reject established ideas and philosophies for the sake of their own extreme beliefs. He highlights the tribal war and cult-like nature of this faction, which borrows and distorts various concepts like feminism, critical race theory, gender theory, etc. The speaker argues that while critical theory has its place in academia, it becomes problematic when taken out of context and applied to real-life situations. The speaker ends by addressing the turf wars, which have caused divisions within the left, feminists, and the LGBT movement, due to the influence of postmodern ideas and the rejection of a shared reality. He suggests that these clashes and divisions are happening primarily online and involve the clash of ideas without actual substance or backing. The speaker concludes by mentioning the historical precedent of the left splitting over ideological purity and briefly mentioning the split between Karl Marx’s daughter and other socialists based on authoritarianism.
