One infamous paper claimed to study \u201crape culture\u201d in dog parks by observing thousands of canine genitals. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The kicker? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prestigious academic journals eagerly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/10\/04\/arts\/academic-journals-hoax.html\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"stossel-how-some-conservatives-have-gone-woke\" title=\"Stossel: How Some 'Conservatives' Now Trash Freedom and Praise Karl Marx\">accepted<\/a> it. The hoax exposed how deeply the Left\u2019s ideological blinders had corrupted higher education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But now, Lindsay says there\u2019s a new problem\u2014and it\u2019s coming from the other side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Extreme Right Goes Woke: How Some &quot;Conservatives&quot; Now Trash Freedom and Praise Karl Marx\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OnsVywCIanY?start=4&#038;feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Have some conservatives gone woke?  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a recent interview with <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/john-stossel-hollywoods-gun-myths-vs-real-life-armed-defense\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"stossel-how-some-conservatives-have-gone-woke\" title=\"Stossel: How Some 'Conservatives' Now Trash Freedom and Praise Karl Marx\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"433\">John Stossel<\/a> (see video above), Lindsay warned that the same toxic traits he once found on the radical Left\u2014groupthink, victimhood narratives, historical revisionism, and ideological purity tests\u2014are now showing up on the far Right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To prove it, he ran a second hoax. This time, he submitted a slightly reworded chunk of <em>The Communist Manifesto<\/em> to a right-wing magazine. The editors published it and even praised its postmodern insights. When called out, they didn\u2019t retract it\u2014they doubled down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That, says Lindsay, is the problem. Some in the so-called \u201cNew Right\u201d are abandoning classical conservative values like free speech, individual liberty, and capitalism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, they\u2019ve embraced nationalism, censorship, and religious authoritarianism\u2014ironically becoming the exact caricature the woke Left has always accused conservatives of being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-see-also-mother-shoots-convicted-predator-trying-to-assault-her-12-year-old-daughter\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/mother-shoots-convicted-predator-trying-to-assault-her-12-year-old-daughter\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"stossel-how-some-conservatives-have-gone-woke\" title=\"Stossel: How Some 'Conservatives' Now Trash Freedom and Praise Karl Marx\">Mother Shoots Convicted Predator Trying to Assault Her 12-Year-Old Daughter<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Stossel\u2019s segment pointed out that this new \u201cwoke Right\u201d mirrors the old woke Left in disturbing ways: cancel culture, mob justice, online bullying, even open antisemitism. The fringe has become the face, and it\u2019s giving the Left a lifeline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lindsay warned that if this trend continues, it won\u2019t just be bad for conservatism\u2014it\u2019ll usher the Left back into power with a vengeance. And this time, they&#8217;ll point to the extremes on the Right as all the justification they need to clamp down on speech, religion, and gun rights.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/everytown-gun-control-wants-to-train-gun-owners\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"stossel-how-some-conservatives-have-gone-woke\" title=\"Stossel: How Some 'Conservatives' Now Trash Freedom and Praise Karl Marx\" data-wpil-monitor-id=\"434\">gun owners<\/a>, libertarians, and anyone who believes in real freedom, the message is simple: don\u2019t get comfortable, and don\u2019t trade liberty for tribalism.
