James Lindsay has made a tweet with the words “Woke Right” nearly every single day for at least the past 8 months since roughly around the time of the election of Donald Trump. He has been noted and ridiculed by many for doing so, but the question that stands is why is he doing

What I believe James is doing is seeking to establish himself as the number 1 thought leader of the American right, a role he believes he should hold (pic1), and the ultimate gatekeeper of the right wing. I also believe he is taking much of his play book for this from Bill

It matters because the end of Trumps 2nd term is coming in just a few short years, which with it will come the fight for who takes up the succession as president and alongside that who will guide the right wing discourse. As said previously the two factions who largely made up

If you ask Lindsay, woke is critical theory. What is critical theory according to him? Critical theory is when you think someone above is oppressing you and there is a necessity to be aware of that oppression, and that your group needs to take power. Because the “woke right”

James Lindsay has strong ties with Daily Wire, which is among the largest right wing organizations. In particular he has significant ties with Jordan Peterson, who is still an extremely popular right wing figure. Matt Walsh has spoken out against James Lindsay, and in return

I have made an extensive list of every significant figure (roughly 10k+ Twitter followers) who James Lindsay has directly and publicly told that they are woke right. I then categorized them according to which right wing faction they most belong to. What comes out is actually a

Group 1: MAGA / Mainstream Right James Lindsay claims falsely that all of the woke right despises Trump. This couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact some of those he seeks to destroy include Trumps most long term supporters or people who went to prison for him, people like

Group 2: Christian Nationalists I want to preface this list by making it clear that not everyone on this list is a Christian nationalist or would consider themselves as such. I use that term because that is what James Lindsay uses to describe them. If you have any involvement

Group 3: Catholic Traditionalists Similar to Christian Nationalists but Catholic instead of Protestant, and attacked for the exact same reasons as the Christian nationalists. James Lindsay derides these people because they are committed to their faith and believe that all should

Group 4: Reactionaries and British Right Though most of the groups listed are in some way shape or form against liberalism, for this group it tends to be the main driving force of their politics. Those listed tend to spend a lot of time either disagreeing with enlightenment

Group 5: National Cons/Paleo Cons The next group includes traditionalist right wingers who also have a very strong view of the nation as an identity and advocate for having robust nation-states. James Lindsay is extremely against any kind of group identity that isn’t explicitly

Group 6: Anti Interventionist / Anti Zionist This group isn’t nearly as cohesive as many of the other ones are. Many of them have wildly disparate ideologies and dispositions but the commonality among them is very clearly their strong opposition to foreign interventionism and/or

Group 7: Groypers and other AF Affiliates This list is also heavily anti Zionist, but it is worth mentioning separately for several reasons. For one, this group is the most separated with the least overlap between all other figures. This is something that its members often say

Group 8: Organizations and Magazines The following is a full list of the organizations which James Lindsay has attacked. Largely, these are all relatively respectable publications. James Lindsay largely began much of his crusade when he pulled a hoax on American Reformer by

Group 9: Philosophers I’m an anime avatar sporting anon and I honestly don’t know much about these guys especially because most of them are foreign. Anyways James Lindsay says that everyone on this list bases all of their thought off of the things they wrote, and also Marx. The

Group 10: Random Anons Often James Lindsay will respond to random anons on Twitter with disdain for being an anon. He and much of his friends in his classical liberal sphere, most notably Jordan Peterson have a special distaste and hatred for the anonymous accounts posting

Group 11: Honorable mentions If you’re on this list I’m sorry but I couldn’t find a neat category to put you in, but you were still notable enough to be listed as someone James Lindsay called woke right. Honorable honorable mention goes to @aaron_renn because James talks about

Conclusions. So, what is to be done with James? Obviously not everyone can play nice with one another, but few people are as capable of fighting with this many people as James Lindsay is. He wants an extremely narrow gap of political thought and does not want you or anyone else

@KaiserLoengramm Excellent thread.

@avaricum777 Thanks Patriot!

@KaiserLoengramm Honored to have made the list.

@ChristianHeiens Most of the list is very fine people indeed. It was really interesting going through the list and doing the analysis, because all the different factions are unique. but if you knew James and his own politics, you knew which specific disagreement with him he finds intolerable.

@KaiserLoengramm Great thread. He’s insinuated multiple times I am also woke right lol

@MostlyPeacefull I apologize if I missed you, and I’m certain there were some others. I had to scroll through legitimately thousands of posts that have been made over like 8 months.

@KaiserLoengramm Christian Nationalist says ...

@JulieABehling Duke Lacrosse Nationalist, actually. But do you have anything to say about literally any allegation or are you just going to rely on ad hominem?

@KaiserLoengramm Top notch analysis. I will be using it in the next episode of Def Noodles where we argue the woke right. Btw this dynamic is at play in California politics where establishment and liberal GOP use these tactics stifle and suppress conservative grass roots.

@theEmilioShow Feel free!

@KaiserLoengramm He's accurately pointed out commies in every group. Sorry you've been discovered.

@itsjoshwallace Please, enlighten me as to how I’m a communist.
