Joe Rogan and Andrew Doyle reunite after almost 6 years, last podcast in February 2020 right before COVID, BLM, and Trump events shifted everything.

Doyle wrote The End of Woke: How the Culture War Went Too Far and What to Expect from the Counterrevolution. Discusses pendulum swings between extremes like Nazism or socialism. Argues woke is the latest manifestation of innate authoritarian impulse in humans to shut down dissent and impose authority. Woke not over, but entering new phase; authoritarianism could shift from left to right. Need vigilance; lack of it allowed woke to emerge in free society. Authoritarianism snuck in disguised as inclusivity, open-mindedness, kindness, leading to child trans surgeries, chaos, dismissing First Amendment for protection.

Woke used sweet language like equity (unequal treatment for equal outcomes by group identity, not equality), inclusive (excluding dissenters), gender affirming care (affirming pseudoscientific beliefs in vulnerable people). Activists demand "be kind, be compassionate, or else." Woke proclaimed virtuous progress on "right side of history" but acted like dangerous dogs, threatening careers.

Preposterous ideas can't withstand scrutiny, so enforced with fear, force, shouting down. Natural human impulse like kids scaring opponents. UK failing more than US on free speech due to woke language control; US has First Amendment protections.
