British satirist Konstantin Kisin slammed "woke culture" during a speech at a recent Oxford Union debate and actually won over the left-wing crowd with his confidently delivered points — and he later told Fox News' Tucker Carlson that adults need to find ways to persuade young people instead of being "afraid" of them. What are the details?
Kisin — who hosts the "TRIGGERnometry" podcast — last week posted to Twitter a video of his address; it's received millions of views.
Early in his speech, Kisin explained that one very un-woke concept — free speech — "is not some right-wing reframing of whatever; it's the foundation of Western civilization."
He added that "the only way to deal with the problem of racism is to treat people" based upon "the content of their character and nothing else. And the fact that woke culture seeks to overturn that is a new form of racism that we must all oppose."
Kisin then set out to persuade those on the left — with some wit on the side: “I want to talk to those of you who are woke, and who are open to rational argument. A small minority, I accept, because one of the tenets of wokeness is, of course, that your feelings matter more than the truth.”
He then spoke about climate change — and even submitted to the woke bunch "for tonight, and tonight only" — that it must be solved.
“I will join you in worshiping at the feet of St. Greta of Climate Change. Let us all accept right here, right now that we are living through a climate emergency and our stocks of polar bears are running extremely low," Kisin continued.
“What are we to do about this huge problem facing humanity?” he asked.

Adults are not afraid of young people. They are afraid of losing their livelihoods if they honestly engage with young people.
If you haven’t seen the video, it’s worth a gander.
Clear, forceful and funny.
I have no inclination to speak with them if they are liberal or woke.
I talk to people I think look mainly conservative.
I try to see if I see crazy in their eyes…
Kisin’s “Triggernometry” podcasts are very good, too. The one where he and his co-host let Sam Harris expose his extreme TDS and liberal/leftist hypocrisy and delusion was glorious.
"he later told Fox News’ Tucker Carlson that adults need to find ways to persuade young people instead of being “afraid” of them”Another pathetic attempt of Murdoch News to avoid talking about anything Biden.
what are going on about tucker talks about pedojoe all the time.
Bingo!!!! Too many people remain children far longer than they even have a right to. That's one of the reasons they feel like victims. They have no skills, they have no motivation to better themselves, and they have no wherewithal to support themselves.
Put education back into the educational systems, now. We are already decades too late in many respects.
Some finally escape it, but for the vast majority you are absolutely spot on.
