The cultural contradictions of wokeness - and anti-wokeness

Dec 24, 2024 | thehill.com | Andrew M. Koppelman

American elites need to do a better job of making themselves useful. That’s the lesson of Musa al-Gharbi’s new book, “We Have Never Been Woke: The Cultural Contradictions of a New Elite.” It is primarily a critique of the American left, but it has implications for the right as well. The book is a shrewd history and analysis of today’s performative politics.

Divine Madness

Nov 27, 2024 | lawfaremedia.org | Andrew M. Koppelman

Jerome Copulsky’s “American Heretics: Religious Adversaries of Liberal Order” is an engaging historical survey of Christian theocratic opponents of American liberalism, from the American Revolution to the present. Copulsky shows that the ideas of the most extreme elements of the contemporary religious right have deep historical antecedents. The movement, he shows, has had some notable successes, but even these have revealed the inadequacy of its aspirations.

That notion misunderstands the danger Trump presents. He isn’t aiming or likely to recreate Nazi Germany. Medieval Germany is closer: a collection of unaccountable fiefdoms in which local barons are free to abuse their subjects at will.

Oct 28, 2024 | thehill.com | Andrew M. Koppelman

The Washington Post deserves our gratitude for its craven, contemptible decision not to endorse any presidential candidate. What informational value would there have been in an endorsement from a liberal paper that has published so many pieces on former President Donald Trump’s manifest unfitness for office? The paper’s abrupt and surprising reticence, on the other hand, delivers big news. And isn’t that what newspapers are supposed to do?
Viewing abortion rights through the lens of religious liberty is revealing

Oct 8, 2024 | thehill.com | Andrew M. Koppelman

A recent court case about religious liberty helps to show the moral case for a right to abortion. Abortion bans often have exceptions for rape, incest and lethal fetal defects. These exceptions presuppose that in some cases, the suffering of pregnant women matters enough to outweigh whatever rights a fetus may have.
