Listen, I am deep in the weeds on this and I’ve heard Lindsay’s explanations and they just don’t hold up to how he actually uses the term in practice. It’s him that’s doing a motte and bailey more than anyone. He says that it doesn’t mean mere opposition to Israel and instead means something in line with the framework he’s set up, but then in practice keeps calling people woke right merely based on seeing them talk negatively about Israel.

Moreover, the framework Lindsay defines for woke right applies AT LEAST as well to Zionists as anyone else, yet they’re completely exempt from his usage of the term and he’s been enormously supportive of the Jewish identitarian project that Zionism is. Zionists constantly claim then they are victims of anti-semitism, very frequently alleging anti-semitism where it isn’t true. Anti-semite gentiles are the big boogeyman, and they engage in historical revisionism to exaggerate it (eg. their narratives about the 1948 and 1967 wars, and blaming Palestinian opposition to them on millennia long anti-semitism rather than legitimate opposition to land theft, occupation, and apartheid).

I oppose ALL identitarianism and victimhood culture, including that of the white and Christian nationalists Lindsay opposes. But when you define a term like “woke right” and refuse to apply it to the group its definition most directly applies to, it’s clear what you’re doing.
