Unlike established systems with clear rules (like Christianity), the modern left operates on "vague vibes" of ideological purity. This lack of a self-regulation mechanism creates a constant pressure to prove loyalty through extremism. As standards escalate, anyone who could provide a moderating influence is purged, leading to an endless cycle of radicalization.

Authoritarian regimes like Russia weaponize extreme examples of Western gender discourse, such as police calling male shooters 'female.' They use this to promote 'traditional values' diplomacy, portraying the West as perverse, which consolidates their soft power and hinders local LGBTQ+ rights.

Galloway reframes masculinity away from aggression toward protection. He argues a man's default instinct, even without fully understanding a group like the trans community, should be to protect them from being demonized. This approach bridges traditional masculine ideals with progressive social values.

Survey data shows declining public acceptance for LGBTQ+ people since the late 2010s. This is attributed not just to right-wing attacks, but to a public backlash against policies seen as 'objectively ridiculous,' creating a resentment that harms the entire community, not just trans people.

In a surprising move, the BC Conservatives appointed Alia Warbus, an Indigenous transgender activist, as their House Leader. This highlights the immense pressure within BC's political landscape for all parties, regardless of ideology, to signal allegiance to progressive causes like trans activism and Indigenous reconciliation.

While the right promotes a flawed version of masculinity, the left's common response is to suggest men adopt more feminine traits. Galloway argues this is ineffective because it fails to offer an aspirational, positive vision of masculinity, leaving many men feeling alienated and unrepresented.

The central societal conflict is not between men and women, but between liberal and illiberal ideologies. Progress has historically been supported by coalitions across genders, just as the patriarchy has female supporters. Framing issues as a battle of the sexes is a counterproductive oversimplification of a deeper ideological divide.

After being expelled from the BC Conservative Party, politician Dallas Brody co-founded a new party, only to be temporarily thrown out of it as well. She attributes this to a "woke right" faction that, in her view, mirrors the progressive left's tactics of enforcing ideological purity and punishing dissent.

The notion that identitarianism is exclusive to the left ("woke") is outdated. A powerful, mirrored version has solidified on the right ("Groypers"), indicating that identity-based politics has become a central, and polarizing, framework across the entire political spectrum.
