Oxford Union debate on woke culture
30 January 2023
I participated in a debate at the Oxford Union, arguing for the motion: “This House believes woke culture has gone too far.” In spite of the members of the Union all being students, my side won by 60 votes, which was very gratifying.
You may have already seen the excellent speech in favour of the motion by Konstantin Kisin, the co-host of Triggernometry and author of An Immigrant’s Love Letter to the West. It went viral on Twitter, being watched by over 20 million people, and he subsequently appeared on Fox News to talk about it.
My speech wasn’t quite the barnstormer that Konstantin’s was, but it’s worth a watch nevertheless. You can find it on YouTube here.
Heartened that even Oxford students voted by 60 votes that woke culture has gone too far — and want to join the argument?
