The Left Wants to Turn “Woke” Into a Slur—And Shut Down All Debate
Christopher F. Rufo
04/12/23 • 21 min
There has been a debate about the meaning of the word “woke.” Progressives have long insisted that conservatives cannot define the term, but the Left’s most virulent racialists, such as the commentator Touré and Washington Post columnist Damon Young, are now arguing that “woke” and other commonly-used words are a secret code for the “n-word.” This is absurd—but also dangerous, as it’s the latest gambit in the Left’s long-running campaign to suppress all criticism of its racial ideology.

America's Cultural Revolution | Ep. 1
Christopher F. Rufo
07/13/22 • 29 min
America is in a state of revolution. It’s not the kind of revolution with competing armies or a coup d’état. It’s an invisible revolution along the axes of race, gender, and identity that is shaking the foundations of our country. I’ll show you exactly how we got here and what we can do to push back.

Introducing 'Christopher Rufo Theory'
Christopher F. Rufo
07/12/22 • 0 min
America is in a state of chaos. Our institutions have been captured by radical ideologies and our culture is being torn apart along the axes of race, gender, and identity. In my new show, I’ll be taking a deep look at America’s Cultural Revolution—from theory to praxis to ideology to power. And most importantly, I’ll be outlining a strategic vision for fighting back.
Against Curtis Yarvin’s Self-Fulfilling Pessimism

The writer Curtis Yarvin recently posted a criticism of the conservative takeover of New College of Florida, where I serve on the board of trustees.
Yarvin, who has built a cult following on the “neoreactionary” Right and the “post-Marxist” Left, is best known for advancing the thesis that the progressive-managerial state, which he calls the Cathedral, is so powerful, that any action to challenge it will end up reinforcing its power. The better solution, Yarvin counsels, is to adopt the posture of a prey animal, find satisfaction through aesthetics, and wait for the American Caesar.
I disagree. Yarvin’s philosophy is an expression of self-fulfilling pessimism. To a certain extent, the conservative takeover of New College has already been successful. We immediately fired the former president, abolished the DEI bureaucracy, banned coercive and discriminatory “diversity” programming, and brought in former education commissioner Richard Corcoran—a man of great tenacity and courage—to lead the turnaround effort.
Furthermore, our initial campaign at New College has already had a ripple effect: multiple states, including Florida, have introduced legislation to abolish DEI bureaucracies at all public universities, and the higher education establishment has expressed fear that a conservative counter-revolution has begun. At a minimum, we have proven that the political commissars are not inevitable, not invincible, and not untouchable.

The Modernity Loop
Christopher F. Rufo
04/03/23 • 21 min
I’m spending the month in Budapest, Hungary, and I had a conversation with a Dutch sociologist, Eric Hendricks, who suggested that, since the French Revolution, the West has been trapped in a cycle of fervor, terror, and disillusionment—or what he calls the “modernity loop.” In his theory, Western societies, including the United States, have relentlessly pursued equality, only to be disappointed when those movements collapse into violence. Is the woke revolution, which peaked after the death of George Floyd, part of this pattern? And can Western societies escape the loop?
The New Face Of Marxism

The critical race theorists are “synthetic revolutionaries” who have filtered left-wing ideology through a postmodern lens.

Non-Binary Luggage Thief 20:10-39:27
Cambridge Redefines "Woman" 39:28-46:07
For the past few years, I have been fascinated by the relationship between ideology, bureaucracy, and power. In my view, the most important story in American life is the capture of the prestige institutions by left-wing activists, who have transmitted the ideologies of critical race theory and Queer Theory from the universities into every management structure in the country.
This week, there have been two news stories that have illustrated this theme with great drama. First, the unfolding narrative of Elon Musk’s takeover of Twitter, which has revealed tremendous ideological corruption in the domain of politics, speech, and tech. And second, the rise and fall of Sam Brinton, the Biden Administration’s non-binary nuclear waste administrator who became famous for publicly flaunting his kinks—and has since fallen from grace after allegedly fabricating his backstory and stealing women’s luggage from multiple airports.
I also discuss Cambridge Dictionary’s decision to redefine the word “woman” as “an adult who lives and identifies as female though they may have been said to have a different sex at birth”—or, in other words, to redefine woman as inclusive of men.
