Michael Rectenwald on the stupidity of cancel culture

This episode was recorded in 2020.

Michael Rectenwald is an author and former academic (at NYU) who critiques liberalism as failing due to its politicisation of the economy, eroding faith in free markets and property rights.

He argues that wokeness is a totalitarian ideology that weaponises victimhood to silence opposition and advance agendas like the Great Reset, promoting superficial fairness over justice.

Michael also says that political correctness is inherently flawed and authoritarian, and stifles freedom of speech in academia.
