The Coddling of the American Woke

Jukka Savolainen peruses Yascha Mounk’s The Identity Trap: A Story of Ideas and Power in Our Time and comes away convinced that Mounk spends too much time “flattering the moral sensibilities of adherents to woke ideology.” It is this “cognitive coddling” of the elite young, Savolainen explains, that gave rise to their progressive extremism in the first place.
