James Lindsay - The Rise of Woke Islamism
The Winston Marshall Show
Since October 7th, weekly marches through the streets of central London see the unlikely alliance of radical leftists and hard-right muslims. Yet this unholy red-green alliance is nothing new.
I sat down with James Lindsay, author, writer and expert in Critical Theory, Postmodernism and Marxism to explore the deep roots of these odd ideological bedfellows.
James explains the long history of their convergence. We discuss antisemitism, “Critical Immigrant Theory” and why he is an optimist after the second great awokening, or what he calls our "Gaza-Floyd moment".
Although im only just publishing this discussion today, this interview was recorded on November 1st 2023. But given that the weekly protests have continued, it is just as relevant today.

This cannot not be good, even if he does have weird twitter habits.
Thanks!
Something that the media (and the commentariat) has either failed to notice or chosen to ignore is the notable absence of several of UK’s prominent ethnic and religious minority communities at the weekly Palestine marches - the Sikh, Hindu, Buddhist communities as well as Indian, Chinese, Sri Lankan and Caribbean origin Britons have by and large been absent at most of these “events”, which are mostly made up of white woke lefties and conservative Muslims.
