The Definition

Much like the Woke Left’s UN-inspired 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that have become a bedrock of its climate change theology, the Woke Right too has 17 cardinal points or ‘Commandments’ that it uses as the guiding light of its movement.

The “woke right” is an emerging cultural and political phenomenon that fuses aspects of progressive identity awareness with right-wing ideology. Unlike traditional conservatism, which often rejects identity politics and social activism, the woke right strategically adopts these tools to advance its own narratives around national identity, tradition, and perceived victimhood.

It often centers on cultural grievance, arguing that conservative or white-majority identities are being marginalized in modern liberal societies.

This group mirrors leftist tactics—such as social media campaigns, cancellation efforts, and language policing—but applies them to causes like religious freedom, anti-globalism, or national sovereignty.

The woke right is particularly prevalent online, where it thrives on meme culture, irony, and influencer-style activism.

Figures within this movement may champion traditional gender roles, Christian values, or ethnonationalism, while accusing liberal institutions of hypocrisy, censorship, and moral decay.

It is especially critical of what it sees as the “woke left’s” domination of media, education, and corporate culture.

The New Counterculture

In essence, the woke right retools the language of resistance and marginalization to position itself as the new counterculture. Though ideologically right-wing, it disrupts the old conservative mould by being digitally fluent, culturally assertive, and rhetorically aggressive seeking to win not just elections but the broader culture war.

Says women’s rights advocacy and founding council member of New Zealand’s Free Speech Union Ani O’Brien: “On the surface, ‘Woke Right’ is a deliberate paradox, since ‘woke’ has typically been associated with progressive or leftist politics — especially around issues like race, sex/gender, identity, and social justice.

However, it is not an affinity to these topics that makes this section of the right ‘woke’. It is rather the behaviors and tactics that they utilize in pursuit of right-wing goals”

“They are deeply ideological – much like their left-wing equivalents – and this usually plays out in nationalism, religiosity, and/or anti-globalism. They are populists with a tendency towards the authoritarian.

Anti-elite and anti-institution, they cannot stand ‘normie’ conservatives. They will not hesitate to turn on their own side for what they perceive as weakness or disloyalty. In fact, this seems to be what they spend most of their time on.”

The Power Games

According to one of the most prominent and respected online adversaries and researchers of the Woke Right, James Lindsay from New Discourses, “We live in a world that has been created by this Left-Liberal dialectic.”

“The Right Wing is being called the “woke right” because its detractors cannot think outside the hegemonic presumptions of liberalism, which is grounded in individualism.

Whenever you look beyond the veneer of modernity and recognize politics as the clash of elites or emphasize systemic dynamics, you are engaging in “Critical” analysis. This has been a methodology of political science for hundreds of years.”

“The Woke Right believe the liberal status quo of Western Civilization developed and concretized a hegemonic power structure after the ravages of World War II that they call the ‘post-war consensus’ or ‘post-war liberal consensus’ (or close variants).”

“Thus, they set up an oppressive order to ‘heritage’ citizens and right-wing Radicals while opening the door to constant erosion and subversion by the Marxist Left that they could have prevented, allegedly.

This made all ‘conservatives’ into de facto liberals who uphold the “liberal” status quo and maintain the hegemony against the ‘true Right,’ which they believe they represent uniquely.”

As Michael O’Fallon describes the Woke Right: “Nearly every idea or movement that is opposed to individual liberty and freedom placed into a blender and thoroughly mixed at high speed.”
