Eric Kaufmann is a political scientist, professor, and author specialising in cultural politics, demographics, and the rise of woke ideology, advocating for post-progressivism and free speech in academia and society. In this interview we discuss how woke ideology, cultural overreach, and progressive dominance have reshaped the Western world. From the suppression of free speech to the radical transformation of institutions, Kaufmann reveals how an elite ruling class has manipulated the system to silence dissent and enforce ideological conformity. He also explains how the education system has become a breeding ground for ideological indoctrination, manufacturing an entire generation that sees dissent as dangerous rather than necessary.

Watch The Extended Uncensored Version Of this Episode in The True North Movement https://www.patrickcoffin.media/the-t... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKPRo2P1Hp8 Host Patrick Coffin sits down with Professor Eric Kaufmann, a leading expert on demographics and politics, to explore the sometimes sudden shifts in global population trends and their implications for religion, culture, and society. The conversation delves into the role of religion in shaping demographics, examining how fertility rates and religious adherence intersect and cause each other. They also discuss the influence of contraception on population growth and societal values. A key focus of the conversation is the origins and meaning of "woke" ideology. Professor Kaufmann traces its roots to postmodern thought and explains how it became a dominant cultural force in the West, and how it has been weakened by real life. Together, these Canadian born ex-pats analyze the impact of this ideology on identity politics and public discourse, raising critical questions about the future of free speech in academic settings. This thought-provoking conversation provides listeners with a deep understanding of today's most pressing social and political issues.
