Showing a stunning lack of historical awareness-and by the way, the IDW’s stunning lack of historical awareness will be one of the major themes of this book-the subjects of the profile informed Weiss that a decade ago…when Donald Trump was hosting ‘The Apprentice,’ none of these observations would have been considered taboo. And we’re in a dangerous place if these ideas are considered dark. Identity politics is a toxic ideology that is tearing American society apart. Here are some things that you will hear when you sit down to dinner with the vanguard of the Intellectual Dark Web: There are fundamental biological differences between men and women.
This is how Weiss introduced the IDW in her original piece: By the end of the year, when Amelia Lester called the online magazine Quillette The Voice of the Intellectual Dark Web in Politico, everyone likely to read such an article was well familiar with the IDW. According to Weiss, the group was quickly taken up by a public hungry for free thinking, and it is certainly true that the two most prominent members, Sam Harris and Jordan Peterson, were filling auditoriums with admiring fans. According to Weiss the IDW was a group of maverick intellectuals who, feeling locked out by a relatively new and culturally dominant political correctness, came together to speak truth to the power of the liberal consensus. The IDW is a group of men that Bari Weiss introduced to the world in a 2018 New York Times profile titled Meet the Renegades of the Intellectual Dark Web. However, the tactics, ideologies, and arguments used by this group remain relevant for understanding the broader center-right and right-wing ecosystem, and the absolutely necessary changes that the left must make to tell its own more appealing and dynamic story. This book focuses on the Intellectual Dark Web (IDW), a group exercise in collective self-branding that may already be by the wayside. With authoritarian right-wing governments holding power from the United States to Brazil and Hungary to India, the need to understand and overcome these forces is urgent. The left and many liberals have been deeply concerned with the right’s fluency on platforms ranging from YouTube to Instagram to Twitter, and their ability to use these platforms to push their messages and create an overall political narrative.
