"People on what is called the woke right by some now that like to blame everything on, you know, the military industrial complex or global Jewry, this kind of thingthese are people that have a fundamentally grievance-based relationship to Western society. It's just that the enemies are different, Hughes noted at one point during the conversation. That's exactly right. I mean, on the right, it manifests as a lot of conspiracy theorizing."
"So, if you think about paganism in its original form, it was the idea that, as Gloucester says in King Lear, That the gods, you, know, strike us down like flies for their sport.' That is sort of the pagan ideology, and I would say the post-God ideology is that things happen randomly, bad things happen to good people, Shapiro continued, adding: You can't control any of that."
Some on the so-called woke right blame societal problems on the military-industrial complex or 'global Jewry', reflecting a grievance-based relationship to Western society. That worldview often takes the form of conspiracy theorizing that appears on both the right and the left. Contemporary figures associated with the woke right include Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Dave Smith; Owens previously worked at The Daily Wire before a public split. Traditional biblical religion functions as an anti-conspiracy framework by denying ultimate randomness and offering moral or providential explanations, whereas post-theistic and pagan perspectives encourage projection of conspiratorial enemies.
