UnHerd's Flo Read meets Philosopher Susan Neiman - This is the first 18 minutes of the full video.

Read the accompanying article, which features the full video interview: unherd.com/2023/03/the-true-left-is-not-woke

The woke discourse today is confusing because it appeals to emotions traditional to the Left: empathy for the marginalised, indignation at the plight of the oppressed, and determination that historical wrongs can be righted. Those emotions, however, are derailed by a range of theoretical assumptions — usually expressed as self-evident truths — that ultimately undermine them.
