1:02:31Now PlayingIn this episode of Based Camp, Malcolm and Simone Collins break down the evolution of the culture wars — from Woke 1.0 (SJW/Tumblr era) to Woke 2.0 (post-George Floyd radicalism) and the rapid emergence of Woke 3.0: the anti-AI movement.
They argue Woke 2 is already over. The new front is a performative, high-anger rejection of AI that is more central in left online spaces than race, trans issues, or immigration. Key topics include:
The edginess pipelines on left vs. right and how the “terrorist left” evolved
Why anti-AI posting now dwarfs traditional woke content
Hank Green’s very public apology for using ChatGPT and the forced productivity collapse that followed
Extreme backlash against AI tools (Leaflet’s VTuber generator, etc.)
The core arguments the anti-AI side uses (stealing, environment, critical thinking, mental health, creativity, bias, surveillance)
How this creates a self-selected permanent underclass that deliberately opts out of productivity tools
Intentional ugliness in media, media fracturing, and the Brave New World “savage reservation” parallel
Strategy for the pro-AI side and why anti-AI Luddites (left and right) are a liability
This is the real culture war happening right now in the meme minds — the one most offline commentators still haven’t noticed.
