Peter Thiel Slams Woke Culture

Misinformation and dogmatism define the current cultural landscape, where the scientific ideal of balancing skepticism and inquiry has been replaced by a rigid, totalitarian intolerance of dissent. This "woke" phenomenon functions as a secularized Christian heresy, obsessively focusing on victimhood and moralizing social structures while mirroring the historical patterns of communism and the social gospel. Rather than being a byproduct of relativism, this culture represents an intensification of moralizing impulses that shift blame from the individual heart to systemic entities. The university system serves as the primary engine of this indoctrination, acting as a modern, corrupt clerical class that enforces conformity through the "indulgences" of rising student debt and the existential threat of social and professional exclusion for those who fail to adhere to its unitary dogma.
