  1. I agree that "wokery" requires an identitarian world view, an oppressor and oppressed hierarchical structure within those identities, and the idea that any inequality experienced by individuals must be explained by that hierarchical structure and oppression...it assumes that we are all the same and no genetic variables can explain a spectrum of outcomes. Wokery requires categorising and measuring identities. This would be the first place to start. Stop asking people their gender, religion, race and sexuality on all job and government forms. Make it illegal to do that.

  2. Around 27:30... she struggles to give herself a political label (or identity) because the definition of political labels changes. That is why one needs to define yourself by answering key questions. 1. small government or large government(ie. To what extent do you want the government interfering with the right of individual and/or family)? 2. Nation (ie. borders and soverignty) or globalist ...recent David Starkey talk asks the question "are we all the same or are we different?" Which achieves the same point. 3. Are we responsible for our own actions or victims of society? This sets the style of legislation and punitive arrangements for society... I am sure that there are other questions which map out your political personality better than any political badge does...

  4. Re. 35:00 her views about Jamie Oliver and his ilk trying to control working class diets, there would be no need to enforce diets if people felt the consequences of their poor choices as individuals. If you want an NHS (ie. A national insurance concept where your premium does not varybwith your risk), you have to expect government and high tax payers to want to have a say in your lifestyle.... to limit their costs.

  5.  @philipadams5386  the difference is the time delay...the feedback cycle is too long for any learning to occur. Would you drive differently if the 3 points added to your licence for speeding only altered your insurance premium 20 years after the incident?

  6.  @warmasterhorus  make measuring identity illegal... try being identitarian without any data on identities...
