The Righteous & The Woke: Purity Cults in the Struggles for Justice (with Dr. Valerie Tarico)

In this crazy world, how often has a passionate desire for justice caused us to oversimplify complex problems, ignore details that don't validate us, and vilify all who dare to disagree? Has "Woke Culture" sometimes exhibited a dogmatic, even religious, attitude toward the worthy and the unworthy? And is it even possible to have a reasonable conversation about this in the Era Of Online Outrage?

Psychologist Dr. Valerie Tarico joins Seth Andrews for just such a conversation.
