What I Saw in These Cities Shocked Me | Peter Boghossian

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks to Peter Boghossian about the cost of combating woke ideology, including facing protests and investigations for discussing free speech at his former university; how the rise of identitarian leftism destroyed the Left’s concerns with economics and the class struggle; his disappointment in the lack of pushback from colleagues in academia; the consequences of woke policies, contrasting cities like Portland with Miami; whether leftist leaders in blue cities understand the effects of their policies or use their failures to justify radical agendas; why he finally left teaching at Portland State University; the rationale that leftist mayors use to explain why their policies lead to urban decay; how their prioritization of compassion over law and order exacerbates societal problems; the impact of ideological indoctrination in universities; his inability to challenge students' thinking; the lack of scientific evidence behind gender-affirming care for minors; the erosion of medical ethics; how he was wrong about how our society would adapt to a secular belief system; the dilemma facing remaining liberals concerning their political choices; the possibility of liberals moving Right due to dissatisfaction with the Left; the need for non-Trump alternatives; the shift in societal attitudes concerning immigration and Islam; and much more.
