Take a lesson from Canada and vote conservative! I don’t understand how my countrymen could ever let this happen, it’s embarrassing
As a Canadian, the current state of affairs here is an open sewer, we had a fine country, until the ultra left mentality. The woke stance requires an absolute lack of wisdom, so is very appealing to the lazy, who have never actually had to depend upon or face the consequences of the decisions they make.
Altona same have happened all over the anglosphere.
Just like the British Government-only they a far right.
Odd the woke do not recognize the lack of corelation between temperature and carbon air content, when science states proof that no corelation apparent in record from Greenland ice cores.
It breaks my heart to see, this Albertan would love to be a proud Canadian again but I have a feeling it’s gonna take a long time
Agree entirely with Kaufmann - a very accurate assessment of the awful state of affairs in Canada today, the last place that the UK should emulate culturally.
As a Canadian, I heartily agree!
I'm another Canadian who is alarmed and agree
As a Brit in Canada o couldn’t agree more im looking to come home
Is Australia the same as Canada?
As a Canadian I couldnt agree more. The UK remains a shining last fortress of culture and traditional values, please dont let complacency chip away at these very precious values
As a 19 year old centre right person in the uk I am ashamed at how pathetic this young generation is
Yup. Im a 50 year old artist. Love art spent years in art school, i do it everyday. It consumes my miserable life.
So they brought out this AI Art app, the best invention of all time (in my eyes) and ive been noticing these buzz words...
Consent? Accountibility? Ethics morals theft?
Bizzare how the words are used.
I or any human can COPY any other artist work without consent. I can pay any artist online to copy a style? No consent ever needed.
So massive split on there and u can sense ppl are trying to make this like a movement ALWAYS using emotion at the forefront of arguments.
Because? ???????
As a youngish conservative from Canada living in Britain for 6 years, I can say that Britain is a tropical and conservative paradise! (compared to Canada)
Yikes!
Thanks for letting me know.
It is fast getting the upper hand, I'm afraid. UK universities are now advertising opportunities with race as part of the eligibility criteria. This feels incredibly regressive.
Name one!?????
It's completely regressive
Those individuals who would make the best politicians just don't want the job. That is the biggest problem I think. There are few compelling incentives to entice those people to put up with the BS in politics.
This observation has been documented since at least Plato :) The answer they eventually arrive to is that if they don't do the job, some idiots will.
Professor Eric Kaufmann is not only a hottie, but a great eloquent speaker.
Also our son is 19 and thinks the wokies are stupid.
I have faith in young people to think for themselves. The elderly (which includes myself) should encourage their questioning and support them.
It's a shame most of them have their head up their arse (when they're not playing with their phones).
When a man stops believing in God he doesn’t then believe in nothing, he believes anything.

The sneering contempt and lack of respect of Conservatism for contesting ideas is just unappealing. Not ONLY unappealing- tedious, ugly, defensive, etc, etc, ad nauseam -but primarily unappealing. The Conservative brand has stopped growing, settling into self congratulatory conceptual prejudice, calcified, personifying the worst qualities of "old".
Name the contesting idea

And again, at 21:29.....said a while back that women strongly tended to remain far more religious than males......now it is woke-ism and it is suggested to be a substitute for Christianity.....and far more younger women are into being woke than males....so yet again fellow travellers; THE MORE THINGS CHANGE THE MORE THEY STAY THE SAME!!!!
Kim. And I’d say fed a constant stream that they are discriminated against and that men/boys are just advantaged in everything. My daughters exhibit this, they are for example just unaware of how spending on them has easily been double that of their brother. I think young men bailing on marriage etc is a logical decision.
Illogical captain. If woke-ism was a substitute for Christianity it means they gave up Christianity so they are therefore LESS religious.
@@youtubeyoutube936 Thanks for your story. It's sad when even people we love are bewitched by woke religion against reality.
He's not wrong about Poilievre. Just the same, it's a precarious position to be in when uncertainty can topple his chances to win a federal election and we would be stuck with the same insane form of governance we have been suffering under since 2015.
I used to consider myself left of centre if I had to put a political label on my ideology. That said, although I have never been a political animal, these past couple of years have changed that. Our PM has lit a fire in my belly that is driving me to fight for my Charter Rights (capital R) and for my fellow Canadians, even for the woke ideologs who have no idea what freedoms they are putting at risk with their support of unfounded and unproven leftist ideals. Canada is falling apart at the seams and I feel that the continued censoring and threats of reprisal are keeping the voice of reason out of the conversation entirely.
U r deluded
There is Max Bernier PPC, who actually stands for "common sense" which is translated by the msm as "far right", insert le eye roll.
Ironic as Poliviere is younger than Trudeau, has an ethnic wife, is from middle class
😮😊😊😊😊😊😊
Canadian politics has changed like in the UK. The 'old left is gone'. Canada is pretty liberal, but your old left liberal is now Socialism. The Right, like the UK is middle/left.
SO much info here. Priceless interview.
civil service is not 'impartial' - is govt so very bias towards big govt & lot of supervising peoples freedoms. but they should be independent.. as should Edn & Media..
Very good topic & guest
The civil service in Scotland are woke morons. They are not impartial and they do not follow due process or encourage the Scottish government to do this when making legislation.
I'm Canadian feel bad, "Sorry", that I don't know this guy. very good watch.
Woke culture in Britain is beginning to decline, however we must make sure our country itself remains economically secure and stable.
In my opinion there's a trend in several countries but especially in Canada, where cultural leftism has been grandfathered into the national identity/patriotism. Lately our chosen national identity seems to be "American but if only blue states existed", and the American left echos this back at us with jokes about moving to Canada. We have basically become more like an ideological sandbox than an actual country. For example, every time there's a mass shooting in America, it's Canada that further tightens its gun laws
And then I think a similar thing is happening in New Zealand whose identity wrapped up in not being Australian, and in Scotland whose identity is wrapped up in not being English. It's very difficult for conservatives to pushback on anything, because it can be accused/implied of being unpatriotic.
How patriotic is it to endanger essential institutions of US democracy?
How patriotic is it to wreak havoc an economy by pursuing a completely hollow idea of sovreignty without the slightest preparation?
This whining about wokeness is so pathetic that it's properly emphasizing the utter cluelessness of conservatives in the "anglosphere". Is that guy really supposed to be an academic ?
@@michaelburggraf2822 Strange. I didn't hear any whining at all from the academic. It's generally the wokists that are whining when someone disagrees with them using logic and reason. Carry on whining.
The sad day that I read this on the local subreddit "We are a capitalist country." It struck my heart, that America had finally colonized the east (ie, the Maritimes, not Toronto).
A duty to "Not to indoctrinate"... would he include religion in this?
Teaching religions as fact in schools is very much illegal.
@@Lashb1ade Is it? In the UK?
Woke culture is just a religion that worships the supposedly "most oppressed"
@@paulstaley2 Always. Church schools, boys choirs, Lefty Unis !
Christianity is basically illegal in Canada now.
Same thing in Australia, wokefied public service and the ABC is possibly too far gone to fix with nearly every program now focusing on at least one of the woke topics with of course the most prevalent being indigenous issues whereby maybe 90% of the programming now concerns about 3% of the population. All took place under a conservative federal government. I used to love the ABC, now I constantly turn it off due to the incessant virtue signalling and nonsense dogma. Now I say I used to be a leftie but the left abandoned me when it went woke.
Totally agree.
Britain’s future is bright thanks to sensible young people like Steven Edginton
Plus he's really fit
@@scolexuk shh!
Only if there are more S.E's out there , which is unlikely . Labour would like to reduce the voting age to 15 , the more sane among us wish it was increased to 25.
I don't no if this is a joke or not , this country is finished ,its disgusting what's happened over the past 20 years
God forbid people are unconservative . Here's hoping .
Wokism seems to be a determined denial of common sense. And as Elon Musk has said, 'It's is easier to fool someone, than it is to persuade him that he has been fooled.'
Note crucial insight at time 6:46....."particularly the young female population"....
Good as always.

Politically homeless in Canadia!
I was called a woke , by a young man . I had to ask him , what the hell do's that mean . This was told to me after explaining the Ukraine war , to him and others. It felt like I was talking to a idiot boy , who going to grow up to be a idiot man .
Fully indoctrinated, by the system, I guess.

People who throw the word 'woke' around as an insult don't tend to be very deep thinkers
@@sabaidaniel555 Wokeys do tend to be thick generally...

NZ Canada Australia & UK ..see a pattern?
In my opinion wokeness has a veneer of kindness and goodness that makes it appealing to people who lack a solid moral framework and cohesive worldview.
Good work am loving your content
Coming here from listening to Ukraine: The Latest, its shocking to discover how strongly ideological The Telegraph is. This is supposedly a journalist complaining that young people are not conservative eneugh and exposed to left wing ideas. Any semblance of journalistic objectivity is just not The Telegraphs currency? Incredible.
There to contend the 'woke' Left capture of the mainstream press and the Marxist attempts to subvert Western societies, which has been ongoing since the 1930's !
I came here to comment this exactly.
Unlike The Guardian, which is of course scrupulously objective.
@@lausanne67 Har!
Tatsloase. My daughter has told me off for watching GB news. Do I tell her off for reading the guardian? No I read it myself
The pendulum swings as a normal aspect of culture. However, the Left has been working at infecting Western cultures since the mid-19th century, at least. The swings we see also contain a kind of generational drift. Christianity isn't what it used to be because of many factors, including increased wealth, and a real influence toward liberalization, for example. In America, where in the 1960s, people used to get up early on Sundays and go to church dressed formally, "in their Sunday Best," people now show up for a ten o'clock service in casual wear. Replacing the organ, are electric guitars and "Christian Rock." The congregations are far more political than they used to be. Piety has similarly changed radically. A Christian will use foul language and gestures and think it is well within the realm of allowance since they are supporting their brand. Over the long span, the spiral continues to descend.
"90% of female students don't support Trump" Why so low?😊
Can't stand woke, Can't stand Trump either. Does this really have to be the choice.
there is more net migration from the uK to canada
I'm a Canadian now living in the US and I find Canada has become insufferably woke.
Wokeness better than this Tory mess
Very interesting
Progressivism poisons everything.
great discussion, thanks
He's very articulate.
Per capita GDP in Canada is $5,000 higher than U.K. GFP …. So this is not a bad thing for the average Brit!
Who's talking about money?
It'll take more than 5 grand for me to accept loss of freedoms long established.
Canada's population is much smaller than Britain's
This wasn't about economics...
Insanely inflated real estate counts as GDP in Canada, so the actual production of real goods and services is probably negative.
Wokeness in the UK could eventually lead to King Charles being forced into exile to be replaced by chairwoman Nicola “Helmet Haircut” Sturgeon...
'britains future' yeah, thats a good one.
I'm reassured that someone even thinks we have one.
Great stuff !
Good God!!!! Don't become like Canada!!!!!! Take it from someone who lives here!!!! SOS
16:46 Or lack self-reflection...
One aspect which will be key here is affluence. As much as we have cultural influences from the US and Canada the UK isn't as a wealthy. The concepts discussed are those which societies discuss when they feel warm and well fed. I think so-called "woke" talking points will not resonate with the UK public as inflation starts to make a tougher reality hit.
What we see from the outside looking inside UK police officers storming people’s home to arrest them for micro aggressions or Facebook posts, environmentalists blocking traffic, etc.
Again, at 17:38....."women will always tend to take on the cultural norm".....
Not so sure that the young gen. will grow old conservative. Look at the infants in power already.
it is quite assumptive that a=b in this situation, we're all quite unique i'd say this is a false equivillency
but some are more unique than others
To say that A=B is by definition assumptive. A=B is merely to say there is no B.
Define unpatriotic.
@@evolassunglasses4673 Agreed. However, by that definition a majority of Americans are woefully unpatriotic.
Dictionary definition - having or expressing devotion to or vigorous support for one’s country. Humans, families, countries all change over time. The conservatism of the 1700s will be a lot different to post-WW2.

I have had a question that I'm not sure if anyone has any answer for, did this whole woke phenomenon or something similar happen in the 1920's?
I doubt it. Their was no internet and limited media.
But a NEW UNIVERSITY is opening. UT of Austin TX!
And 100 million in donations so far!
I don't even know what these people are going on about ? What the f is 'woke'?
The Podcast of the Lotus Eaters have covered this topic extensively 😉
In a nutshell - someone who wears a mask when they don't need to.
Depressing!
Why are women more woke?
Misplaced empathy. Optimism without considering consequence.
Solipsism perhaps?
Dom Cummings was going to put the boot into the civil service "A hard rain is coming!" - they got rid of him
Stonewall Carrie got rid of him and Negligent Johnson allowed it to happen.
Agreed, an absolute disgrace. The Tories wasted their whole landslide term in office, they literally had a mandate to claw back all of this. But they capitulated to the political and cultural left.....its all about 'feels'. : (
Well done Telegraph. Makes a nice change to see something relevant being discussed. It's about time this insidious indoctrination was ended in Schools (and the workplace) but it's going to take a lot of effort and pushback.
yep, we all need to do our part - no matter how small or insignificant it may seem
Interesting, or is it ? I'd wager that if one goes to the rougher parts of town, the parts where the Telegraph or Guardian is not on the reading list, the whole argument put forward here would seem like a fantasy. Now it may well be the case that those who consider themselves fit to lead in the future, would be fully onboard with the 'Woke' argument, or dogma. Trouble is, what do they do when they find that 60% of the population they would despise, strongly disagree with the world-view being pushed ? History shows that such situations have poor outcomes for utopians.
We’re doomed
Since when we can comment on this channel?
we have always been able to comment on steve's shows
His description of Canada's Overton Window frankly sounds no different from the UK and we seem to be in exactly the same level of "wokeness" and what is considered taboo. Personally I think the Bumboy election of 1997 accelerated it here, Canada was merely 18 years behind us.
I'd be interested to hear a take on New Zealand as well which seems to have identical problems to what we describe of Canada today. Is NZ cucked or is there hope in opposition?
Based on my experience of the UK and Canada I'd say Canada leads the way in being "progressive". The election of Blair and New Labour in 1997 reminded me a lot of the Trudeaumania that led to the election of Pierre Trudeau and the Liberals in 1968 who went on to radically transform Canadian society.
@@chard499 Fair point. So the UK is 29 years behind Canada, rather?
Uk police actually more woke with their arresting people for online speech
Police were trained under George Soros' 'Open Sociey' which inserted itself into the police and the NHS, to name just two of the many institutions.
We are currently not a libertarian society anyway . Why cant adults choose to grow and consume fungi and cannabis? Big Brother conservative governments want to interfere and choose what is good for us.
Britain has no leader in the right wing to lead the English out of the wilderness. Tories are headed to oblivion and then come Labour to lead them into the farthest reaches of hades.
Get rid of Richi Snake. He is equivalent of a Goldman Sachs or Fleet Street broker who has never had the real English at heart.
If the Left wins the culture war, Britain's future could look very similar to that of Canada. Canada is known for its progressive and woke identity, seen through its commitment to social justice, multiculturalism, and environmental responsibility. This outlook is also mirrored in Canadian politics, where the Liberal and NDP parties have held power for much of the last two decades.
In Canada, government policies have promoted progressive causes such as gender equality, Indigenous rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and open immigration policies. These issues are seen as core values in Canadian society and are reflected in its laws. For example, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has passed legislation to promote diversity within the public service and to prioritize Indigenous issues such as reconciliation with Indigenous communities. The country also boasts a comprehensive welfare system which provides universal healthcare coverage and other social services to all citizens regardless of their income level or background. Additionally, Canada has adopted a zero-tolerance policy regarding hate speech or discrimination.
Additionally, Canada has increasingly embraced multiculturalism as part of its national identity. With over 200 ethnic origins represented by Canadians today and 25% identifying themselves as belonging to visible minority groups - compared to 12% in Britain - this is clearly reflected in the population demographics and government policies. For example, Trudeau's government has made significant efforts to foster diversity through programs like the Canadian Multiculturalism Act, which promotes understanding between different cultures and celebrates cultural differences within Canada's population.
Furthermore, environmental protection is also a core value upheld by Canadians. It's estimated that 42% of Canadians believe climate change is one of the most critical issues facing their country - compared to 30% in Britain - with many taking steps such as reducing personal carbon footprints or engaging in eco-friendly activities like biking or walking instead of driving wherever possible. Government initiatives such as investing heavily in green energy technology research or enacting specific emissions targets are also indicative of this commitment towards protecting the environment from ongoing anthropogenic climate change effects.
In conclusion, then, if the Left wins the culture war in Britain, they would likely move towards more progressive values similar to those promoted in Canada today - including social justice principles; multiculturalism; open immigration policies; a comprehensive welfare system; zero-tolerance for hate speech; prioritization of Indigenous issues; increased emphasis on sustainability; and more substantial commitments towards combating climate change - leading Britain down a path closer towards Canadian ideals than ever before.
Nothing in Canada is better than before October 2015. Nothing. So there is that.
Prioritization of indigenous issues in Britain would be great.
@@bcanuck I don't doubt that prioritization of indigenous issues in Britain would be excellent, however there are several key steps that must be taken in order to ensure effectiveness. First and foremost, the British government must invest more resources into indigenous communities, such as providing basic services related to health, education, and infrastructure. In addition, policies should be implemented to promote economic development for these communities so they can benefit from economic opportunities. Additionally, the legal system should be reformed to ensure that indigenous people are treated fairly and justly by government institutions. Furthermore, there should also be an effort to raise awareness about indigenous issues as well as creating a platform for dialogue between indigenous people and those outside of their communities. Finally, British authorities should do what is necessary to properly address historical injustices perpetrated against Indigenous people so that all citizens have access to equal rights and opportunities. With these steps taken seriously, it is clear why prioritizing Indigenous issues in Britain would be of great benefit not only for them but also for the nation as a whole.

J.K Rowling has given so much to us and for those people to come for her...I was incensed. The killer in her book was trans. So what? They want to be treated like everyone else so... in her first book in that series (spoiler!!!) the killer was a straight white guy.
So young people are politically and socially isolated... and they should not be. Things were better in the 1990s.. and I blame the far left for this. We stopped racism in 1990. Eric has a good idea of what is going on here.

Although according to the usual electoral "calculators" I am slightly liberal, in the current "woke left vs conservative" I am closer to the conservatives.
Despite that, though, Trump ... he's off my chart. While I admit that the media wronged him during his tenure and his actual policies were somehow not terrible, still his behavior during the election and his myopic destructive approach now to any Democratic proposals blocking the functioning of the American legislative process...
...it might make even me wonder if celibacy isn't actually a better alternative.

Well, I can see we're off to a good start, if he's immediately conflating lessons or discussions about systemic racism with "critical race theory." CRT is something else entirely, and people need to stop listening to Chris Rufo, and stop using the term CRT when they have no idea what it is.
Yet it is mostly the same people spouting both, so they seem part of the same thing.
But indoctrination with the conservative values he deems the best is fine.... Conservatives hate change its in their name, if they always had their way maybe women wouldn't even vote or drive, maybe we would all be forced to go to church, and so on...
Society needs to keep evolving, it should never stop. But every conservative of their time would say their values were the best and that change would worsen society
Nonsense.
Conservatism is not against change. Conservatism is about reducing gov involvement in people's personal lives
That's not true. The dichotomy is between conservatives who want gradual change while conserving values and principles that have proven to be good and useful and revolutionaries who want to completely overturn the previous system and throw out all prior prevailing wisdom.
