Josie met Andrew Doyle, the author behind the character Titania McGrath—“an activist committed to intersectional feminism, social justice, and armed peaceful protest”— who has a bestselling book sharing advice and slam-poetry on how to be woke.

Andrew says left and right woke have more in common than not.

Both perceive humanity through the lens of identity. For the woke left, it’s finding victimhood in race, gender, sexuality and the alphabet. For the woke right, it’s finding victimhood in a white ethnic identity. Both believe liberalism has failed and some things should be censored. Heretics must be exposed. There’s a nasty overlap of anti-semitism. Both share disdain for modernisation and the West. Authoritarians on both sides lack a sense of humour.

Liberal versus authoritarian works better than left versus right. Most people are generally liberal, don’t judge people by their skin colour or their gender, and believe in everyone having a fair shot.
