The Righteous & The Woke: Purity Cults in the Struggles for Justice (with Dr. Valerie Tarico) Mar 05, 2019

Show notes

In this crazy world, how often has a passionate desire for justice caused us to oversimplify complex problems, ignore details that don't validate us, and vilify all who dare to disagree? Has "Woke Culture" sometimes exhibited a dogmatic, even religious, attitude toward the worthy and the unworthy? And is it even possible to have a reasonable conversation about this in the Era Of Online Outrage?
Psychologist Dr. Valerie Tarico joins Seth Andrews for just such a conversation.
Dr. Tarico's article "The Righteous & The Woke:" https://valerietarico.com/2019/01/24/the-righteousness-and-the-woke-why-evangelicals-and-social-justice-warriors-trigger-me-in-the-same-way
