A New Case for the West
by Stanley Kurtz
National Review Online

More than a tribulation for America, woke is tearing the West apart. British universities once mocked American political correctness. No longer. Nowadays, woke is on offense at Oxford, Cambridge, and throughout the U.K., where traditionalist Brits are frustrated by the Conservative Party’s reluctance to resist. French politicos are pushing back somewhat more energetically than the British against woke, yet the ideology has secured a foothold in France. Former Australian prime minister Tony Abbott slammed ([link removed]) the country’s woke corporations a couple of months ago for making traditional Australia Day celebrations optional. In short, no place is safe.

If the West is pervasively afflicted by woke, however, the West itself is the cure. That is, if wokeness is about delegitimizing, undermining, and ultimately replacing the history and governing principles of the West, recapturing and celebrating the core Western story is the way to fight back.

That’s what British (small “c”) conservatives are doing by way of The West, a new six-part documentary defending the West and retelling its story for our time. The documentary, written and directed by Marc Sidwell, can be freely accessed via the YouTube channel ([link removed]) of the New Culture Forum (scroll down to the bottom left for the first episode, and for episode updates). My EPPC colleague George Weigel and I were interviewed by Sidwell, and we appear at various points in the series. The first episode went up this past Sunday, and a new episode will be posted every week, on Sunday.
