The woke have taken over every major institution in this country - the schools, the universities, corporate America, the media, and the government. It's time to fight back. Actively Unwoke is a podcast by the original unwoke rabble-rouser Karlyn Borysenko to teach you what to do in your community.

In this clip, I’ll read you the introduction and epilogue of my latest book.
A Brief History of Racism started with a few simple questions:
Who invented the word racism?
When was it coined?
What did it originally mean?
How has its definition evolved into the political weapon we see today?
The end result is a short but powerful book that uncovers the shocking origins of the world’s most powerful word. It was a fascinating project to research and write, and I hope you find it just as eye-opening to read.
Members of the Red Menace Collective can download a digital copy of the book now. Please note this is a separate membership from my main Substack.
The book will be available next week on Amazon as a paperback and kindle.

In this clip, I take you inside a shocking session from the Socialism 2024 Conference, where radical pro-abortion activists openly teach attendees how to use abortion pills to sidestep state bans.
They don’t hold back. The details are explicit.
This isn’t the first time I’ve gone undercover in these circles—previously, I infiltrated a "self-managed abortion" tour at a socialist reproductive justice event. See the photos from that experience here:

This is the manifesto that I’m reading in this podcast. Follow @BettrDiscourses on X here.
Listen, obviously I started this @BettrDiscourses thing to mock James Lindsay by providing something BETTER than New Discourses.
But real talk: There is a larger vision at play.
I'm providing a creative, culture-building approach to defeating the left by using satire and humor to undermine them and educate people about what they're doing.
This inoculates people to their games. And there will be many many games they'll be playing over the next four years. Once you learn the real language of the left, you will see things differently.
This is not a movement for cringe MAGA boomers who just want to hear the latest conservative inc or classical liberal talking points and narratives. They don't fit in here. I'll teach them if they want to show up and learn but they almost always end up leaving because they can't handle the cognitive dissonance of realizing that their bought-off influencers and pundits lied to them so much.
My audience is incredibly diverse, people of all ages, political perspectives, and lived experiences. I have dissident right wingers, conservatives, MAGA supporters, independents, libertarians, and even disaffected Democrats.
Everyone who wants to learn is welcome, I don't care if we agree on everything or not.
But everyone who hangs around my work has one thing in common: We're creatives. We see the world differently. Our minds are flexible. We understand that what we're doing is not just education - it's satire, it's humor, it's entertainment, it's community building. Call it a cult if you want, I named my show that years ago because it made us laugh.
There's far more cringe boomers out there than there are creatives, but the cringe boomers accomplish nothing and the creatives get things done. They CREATE. We will not be able to build a new culture without them.
Executive orders will not solve this problem. Banning DEI will not solve this problem. The only thing that can solve this problem is to replace the culture the left has destroyed with a new culture that will prevent them from ever amassing power again.
I'll be damned if I'm told that I have to accept being gatekept by paid off shills with a giant stick up their ass who demand to be the arbiters of what is and is not an acceptable way to be "anti-woke."
My community is a place for people who want to build the real counter-culture, the rebels, those who look authority in the eye and tell it to f**k off.
The name will change again in the future when I'm done toying with James (yes, I already know what the next new name is).
But just because the name might change does not mean the vision will.
No one else is covering what we're covering or doing what we're doing. People try to copycat me sometimes, but it never works because I'm years ahead of them and no one can ever really be me.
Creativity is the only thing that can save us. Ideas that offend people, art that inspires people, a rebellious spirit that inspired some of the greatest music in history, clothing that expresses values and ideas that will make people think.
This is a place for the creatives, the culture makers, the people who can defeat the red menace of the far left.

In this clip, we dissect a provocative idea from queer activism: the redefinition of "straight." Far from being synonymous with heterosexuality, queer activists argue that straightness represents a rigid framework of societal norms.
"Straightness is a multifaceted set of social rules that police our bodies, our minds, our desires, and the ways we interact with others."

In this episode, we peel back the layers of punk rock history to uncover its critical role in shaping modern queer Marxist activism. From its anti-establishment ethos to its embrace of collective rebellion, punk music did more than create a soundtrack for revolution—it became the breeding ground for an entire movement. We'll connect the dots between the mosh pit and the political protest, revealing how this cultural phenomenon laid the groundwork for today’s far-left ideologies.

I’ve spent years going undercover at far-left events, recording their sessions, and releasing those recordings to expose what they’re saying and teaching behind closed doors. These efforts have been about pulling back the curtain on their tactics and educating people about their agenda when they assume no one is watching.
Unfortunately, most people shy away from this kind of work. Case in point: earlier today, a woman posted a thread on X claiming her friend attended an Antifa event, recorded it, and shared the details with her. The thread included notes based on the recordings.
Now, these notes were nothing groundbreaking—just the same far-left rhetoric I’ve been exposing for years with ample video evidence to back it up. But what really struck a nerve was her justification for not releasing the recordings themselves. She cited a long-debunked smear campaign against me as her reason for withholding them.
Let me be clear: these recordings don’t belong to me, my community, or any specific group. They should be made public for everyone. Transparency is key when it comes to understanding and countering these movements.
She’s unwilling to do so because of someone I dated in college over 20 years ago?
Don’t tell me you care about fighting the left if that’s your excuse for not doing so. That’s cowardice, nothing more.
Below, I’ll share the direct messages I had with this person, followed by screenshots of their thread. For a deeper dive, you can tune into the podcast, where I read through the thread and unpack the bigger issue: cowardly conservatives who lack the courage to follow through when it counts.
Here are the screenshots of the thread:

“Queer as in F*** You” is a music video from a far-left punk band that dives into the ideological underpinnings of the queer anarcho-communist movement that has become a rallying cry in far-left circles. Far from being a mere artistic expression, this video functions as a strategic manifesto, embedding radical ideology within its lyrics.

Is Elon Musk turning into what he claims to oppose? In this episode, we dive into the growing controversy around Musk's crackdown on voices he disagrees with on X (formerly Twitter). From bans to shadowbans, Musk’s actions are raising eyebrows—and not in a good way. Is this self-proclaimed free speech absolutist borrowing tactics straight from the woke playbook? I'll break down the hypocrisy, explore what this means for the platform, and ask: Is Elon Musk the newest face of censorship culture? Tune in for an unapologetic take on free speech, power, and the irony of it all.

What a year it’s been. Absolute chaos, a little clarity, and plenty of cannon fodder for the culture wars.
In this episode, I pull no punches, diving into five years of navigating the so-called “anti-woke” space. What’s shifted? Where are we now? And more importantly, where the hell are we headed in 2025? Spoiler: I’ve got plans—and they don’t include playing nice with the collectivist crowd.

This might not be the message people want to hear, but the truth is undeniable: the political right had ample opportunities to stop the rise of queer activism before it became the force it is today.

What to Expect from the Far Left During Trump’s Second Term
As Trump’s second administration looms, the far left is already gearing up—and their playbook is clear.
In this episode, I break down three key strategies you’ll see from far-left activists:
Radicalizing the disillusioned: Turning upset Democrats, Progressives, and Liberals into activists.
Shifting the narrative: Rebranding their messaging from “Free Palestine” to “Resist Trump.”
Rallying around immigration: Mobilizing against Trump’s anticipated mass deportation policies.
Tune into the podcast for a deeper analysis of how the far left plans to seize this moment and what it means for the political landscape.

There’s a lot of chatter these days about what “woke” really means. Does it apply only to the left, or does it describe behavior on the right, too?
Let’s cut through the noise and get to the point.
Here’s the definition of woke:
People who demand conformity and try to force assimilation to their groupthink through gaslighting, want to dictate what words you’re allowed to say and what ideas you can consider, and shame you the moment you step outside their narrow, allowable box of opinion.

Tim Pool might think he’s cracked the code on woke ideology, but he’s barely scratched the surface. In this video, Karlyn Borysenko dives into what Tim is missing—and reveals why the reality is far more insidious than he imagines.
This clip exposes the deeper agenda behind queer Marxism, the deliberate assault on the gender binary, and the dismantling of the nuclear family. It also explains why Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives and "woke" video games are just distractions from the real battle we need to fight.

There’s a reality we need to face when it comes to the left: classical liberalism is not going to solve this problem.
We need to confront this because there’s a group of people (including James Lindsay, IYKYK) pushing to turn the conservative right into a classical liberal movement. If that happens, the left will win.
In this clip, I break down why classical liberalism will always fail to defeat the woke left.

This episode features a powerful recording from an X Space I hosted on September 16, 2024, where I lay out the undeniable connection between all the left’s actions—anti-racism, gender ideology, abolishing the police, attacking the nuclear family, and more—all aimed at their ultimate goal: the abolition of capitalism.
But that’s not all! I also had an amazing, thought-provoking discussion with several participants who brought incredible insights to the conversation.

We’re trying a new experiment with my podcasts moving forward, where I record them as a Space on X / Twitter (and also broadcast them on my YouTube channel) to invite people to come and discuss ideas with me.
Today’s discussion starts off as a critique of James Lindsay and his work, where I assert that he is allowing the real communists to win by lying to people about the Democratic party being communist.
It then morphs into a robust discussion of queer theory and the differences between the way activists show up in the real world versus what’s published in academia.

In this episode, I discuss three things you need to know about the pro-Palestine protests, and the ways in which the conservative narrative regarding the left is wrong.
It’s not about antisemitism. Intifada means worldwide socialist revolution.
The encampments didn’t just pop up out of nowhere. These groups have been organizing together for months, specifically on October 7th, and for years before that.
It’s not a bad thing if the protestors are not all students - that will actually support greater protests off of college campuses.
This is from a piece of literature handed out at the University of Michigan encampment:

Many people are wrongly calling the protests at student protest Columbia University and beyond "antisemitism."
It has nothing to do with people being Jewish. In fact, there are Jewish students involved in the protests.
What you're seeing is not an antisemitic uprising. It's a Marxist uprising against the oppressive force of the capitalist colonizers.
I explain more in this episode of the Actively Unwoke podcast.

The most powerful people in any social system are the ones who are expressive.
In this podcast, I discuss why the left wins - because they are constantly expressing their ideas.
In the episode, I give a list of presentations that have shown up from the left in the past week that I found in a 15 minute search. Here are the receipts for reference. There are likely hundreds or thousands more.
Wisconsin is talking about queer kids in elementary school.
The unitarian universalist church in the quad cities are talking about the Pink Triangle:
There were multiple presentations at SXSW about woke activism:
The Arizona Library Association is talking about queer kids and GSAs in schools:
The University of Connecticut school of social work is teaching how to create queer-affirming spaces in schools:
American Booksellers are talking about using fiction to eliminate the gender binary (but no gnostic sex cult):
PBS in Milwaukee is showing student productions about breaking the gender binary (again, no gnostic sex cult):
University of Oregon is discussing queer history:
The San Francisco Public Library is talking about queer comics:
...and all this was based on about a 15 minute search. How much is happening that we aren't paying attention to because it's not viral on X? Follow along and I'll show you what's really happening.

Fight back against the woke and support my work.
I believe the woke - on the left and the right - are an existential threat to our values as Americans. Some of them know it, most of them are just useful innocents. Regardless, fighting back against this woke cultural revolution is my full-time job. I’m dedicated to exposing the woke ideology in our country, helping people to understand what’s going on, and providing spaces for non-woke people to connect, support each other, and plan ways to fight back.
Here’s how you can help.

My methodology, or how I analyze the left, just always made sense to me. But it turns out that I’m pretty sure I’m the only person in the world doing it. So, I wanted to take a few minutes to explain my approach, and why I do things differently than everyone else. This will help you understand the context of my work.

On a stream I did today, I had an epiphany about DEI, namely that we need to be very specific about the problem.
Diversity is not inherently bad.
Inclusion is not inherently bad.
It’s the EQUITY piece that causes all of the problems.
And, of course, equity means Marxism.

A little less than two years ago at this time, I was working my book Actively Unwoke: The Ultimate Guide for Fighting Back Against the Woke Insanity In Your Life. In chapter 4 of my book, I have a list of 11 Rules for the Actively Unwoke. It’s a play on Saul Alinsky’s rules for radicals. And the very first rule I write about is the most important: Know Your Values. If you don’t know what you’re fighting for then it is inevitable that you will exist in a perpetual state of fighting AGAINST a political tribe rather than fighting TO CREATE a better world.Here is the accompanying Substack article that articulates my values that I mentioned in the podcast: https://karlyn.substack.com/p/rule-1-for-the-actively-unwoke-know

In many school districts, anywhere from 30% to 60% of kids are identifying as trans, non-binary, gender queer, or gender non-confirming. Schools are putting policies in place to instruct staff to not tell you if your children are socially transitioning their gender. This is real, and it's happening all over the country. In this episode, we discuss what you need to know to protect your children from the gender cult. Here is the Fox News article I discussed in the podcast: https://www.foxnews.com/media/california-mom-sues-school-district-allegedly-counseled-daughter-transition-gender Here is Gabrielle Clark's parenting workshop, affirming reality: http://unwoke.info/reality

One of the questions I get most often from parents is them telling me they called their school and the school SWEARS they are not teaching Critical Race Theory. They're probably lying to you (though not always). In this episode, I'll discuss how you can tell if they're telling you the truth.

When you spend your days investigating the schools, it quickly becomes clear that some school administrators are implementing equity (Marxism) in the classroom because they are true believers, and some of them are doing it unknowingly because they think it's what they need to do to be a good person. It's important to know the difference between true believers and useful idiots (or, rather, useful innocents).

Never forget that the woke left progressive ideology that has taken over every major institution in this country is grounded in Marxism. That means all they care about is power. When they say someone is white or use the term “whiteness”, it has nothing to do with the color of your skin. It has to do with who owns the power structure.

The people you're trusting to fight back against the woke ideology are lying to you. They are telling you they are doing things to protect you and your kids when the things they are doing have little to no impact. You have to learn how to identify these lies, and demand they do better. Otherwise, we will lose.

Every time I watch or read 1984, I take away more ways in which our current circumstances resemble this dystopian reality. Winston knew that hope rested with the proletariat. And the party wasn't afraid because knew they would never wake up. If we don't learn from this, we are doomed.

If you're engaging in the fight against the woke cultural revolution, you will probably be canceled at some point. You must never apologize. The goal of cancelation is not to right a wrong. It is only to gain power over another person.

I share how I discovered a school district in New Hampshire was breaking the state's anti-CRT law just by looking at information that is publicly available on their website, and offer tips and strategies that you can use to do the same thing.
I discuss how my personal account with over 70,000 followers was permanently banned by Twitter for helping parents to report schools breaking anti-CRT laws to the state for investigation. Seriously.
This is probably one of the more disturbing podcasts you'll listen to today, but it is absolutely necessary that you hear this: The woke progressive left have gone so far off the deep end that it won't be long until they try to make being a literal pedophile (or minor attracted person) a protected class so that they can't get fired for it.
In this crossover episode, I read an essay I wrote on my substack The Red Pill Diaries (redpilldiaries.substack.com) called “Their values are not your values. Their goals are not your goals.” One of the reasons the political right has not been effective at fighting back against the woke insanity is because they do not understand this fundamental truth - that the woke see the world completely differently than they do. And because of that, they have different objectives. You can't effectively fight them if you don't understand what they are motivated why and why they behave the way they do.
Fear of being canceled is the top reason more people don't speak up against the woke insanity. In this episode, I read excerpts from my book to help you understand what you need to know about getting canceled and how you can survive it.
The country is in the midst of a woke cultural revolution, and the woke are winning. In order to stop it, we need to create more teachers.
The woke left don't care about solving racism. They only care about exploiting it to gain political power. Sadly, the conservative right mostly fails to educate their audience about that. Here's what you need to know about the real goals of the woke left.
New medical education standards are out, and they are requiring medical college and residency programs to integrate woke teachings into their curriculum. Dissent will not be welcome.
In this episode, I offer you a simple definition of Critical Race Theory that you can use to explain to others what it is.
People think that woke is just about the progressive left. However, I define it a bit differently.
I know defunding the public schools makes people nervous. But let me explain why it's necessary.
Every single activist I know has descended into madness in their fight against the woke. That's not a reason to avoid the fight - you just have to be mindful and make sure you're using self-care strategies so you don't suffer the same fate.
When you're fighting monsters, be careful to not become the monsters you're fighting. Sadly, the conservative right appears to be losing sight of this warning.
In this episode, I document how I just got canceled by the National Speakers Association and use it to explain why we should take advantage of every time this happens to document and shame people for engaging in cancel culture.
When you go on offense and become the aggressor, you can make the woke make unforced errors. Then, you can use those unforced errors to expose their hypocrisy and true agenda and wake more people up.
Karlyn Borysenko reads the introduction to Actively Unwoke, which explains why you must get over your fear of being called a racist in order to fight back against the woke insanity taking over our world.
