Michael Rectenwald on the stupidity of cancel culture

Why are people so sensitive? Why do people take offence so easily? Why do ideas lead people into fits of uncontrollable rage?

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.

Michael Rectenwald is the author of twelve books: The Great Reset and the Struggle for Liberty, Thought Criminal, Beyond Woke, Google Archipelago, Springtime for Snowflakes, & others. He was a Professor at NYU from 2008 to 2019. He is a champion of free speech & opposes all forms of totalita

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. Peter Boghossian highlighted this when he and James Lindsay hilariously trolled the peer review process, revealing how broken it is. 

The Great Reset will abolish the property rights of the majority, as well as individual and national sovereignty, and wipe out the last vestiges of personal freedom.
