Description

My guest this week is author and former professor, Dr. Michael Rectenwald. Dr. Rectenwald is here to discuss the themes of his latest book, "Beyond Woke". He has a wild story in that he is a former Marxist who saw the light, walked away from the progressive left, and is now a paleo-libertarian. We discuss the origins of Woke culture and its religious foundations. We also get into how to fix the university system (or not) and the endgame that the Woke Left strive for. (Hint: It's getting rid of you and your beliefs.) We also get into the problems with the Libertarian Party kowtowing to a group like BLM.

The Counterflow Podcast is a weekly show featuring discussions and interviews with people who are outside of and critical toward mainstream liberal and conservative politics. Counterflow challenges the conventional right/left binary and is concerned with the more important distinction of free vs unfree. The show features thinkers from all backgrounds, who do not fit into the narrow framework of fashionable opinion. The show addresses cultural and lifestyle issues as well as philosophy and politics. Host Buck Johnson (formerly of the Death To Tyrants Podcast) is a musician and firefighter and has always had an interest and drive to go one way while everyone else runs the other direction.
