I still don't actually understand what division of the political right the 'woke right' is supposed to be, and I frankly just don't care. That's very emblematic of artificial memes, that they make so little sense you can't understand them without reading an essay first.
Wow I didn’t know that Nazis invented the idea of distinguishing between friends and enemies. Apparently there were no enemies before the Nazis made up the idea. You’re right, Jordan. I’m a Nazi because I think that people who want me dead are my enemies. Only Nazis would arrive at that conclusion. Great point. Thanks man.
For the 2nd day in a row, @MattWalshBlog
has explicitly made the Friend-Enemy Distinction, a concept penned by Carl Schmitt, chief jurist of the Third Reich. And he does so in front of @benshapiro
on the @charliekirk11
podcast.
Let’s give Matt the benefit of the doubt and assume he doesn’t understand what he is saying or its origin. Flippant use of the Friend-Enemy Distinction is extremely reckless and irresponsible. Matt loses credibility for not doing his due diligence in researching the concept. But if Matt even understands the superficial aspects of Carl Schmitt, then he knows he’s quoting not only a Nazi, but a major figure in the forming of Hitler’s philosophy and evil enterprise.
More likely, this is a direct (or thinly veiled) attack on the fundamental liberal tenets of the Constitution where we the people are the sovereign. Instead, according to Schmitt, the sovereign makes that existential distinction between friend and enemy in the political sphere, and the sovereign is NOT going to be you, the people — it will be your infallible leader or government who has total authority.
If you’re an American patriot, you must understand what he is saying here, and the sheer balls Matt has to do so in front of Shapiro.

Do not allow the emotional turmoil we are all in excuse this behavior from Matt. It’s your duty to stand against authoritarianism in all forms. Talk to Matt — explain what he is doing, and if he is unapologetic, he is the actual enemy to freedom.
Looks like Carl Schmitt doesn't get enough credit. Imagine how difficult and awkward warfare was back before he apparently invented the concept of being able to tell the difference between your friends and your enemies.
They really are going with this line of attack. I’m a secret Nazi because I used the term “friends and enemies.” This is pure psychosis at this point. James is mentally unwell. I used to think he was knowingly engaging in smears and fabrications but now I truly believe the guy has a mental illness. It’s the only explanation.
Did anyone read James' novella that Matt's responding to?
The writer argues that Matt Walsh’s recent use of the phrase “friend-enemy distinction” is either malicious or negligent. That concept originates from Carl Schmitt, a legal theorist who became the “Crown Jurist of the Third Reich” and justified Nazi totalitarianism by reducing politics to an existential struggle between allies (friends) and opponents (enemies). The author traces how this logic—treating unequal things unequally and enforcing unity through force—was embraced not only by the Nazis but also by communists like Lenin and Mao, leading to mass death and tyranny.
The core claim: adopting the friend-enemy distinction poisons politics, stripping it down to division and destruction. Walsh may not be a Nazi or communist, but invoking this framework risks spreading the same dangerous, dehumanizing mindset.
👉 In short: The author warns that the “friend-enemy” worldview is historically linked to totalitarian regimes, inherently destructive, and must be rejected—not reframed as wisdom.
I've already seen being picked up by leftists. I honestly don't care. Woke right means nothing to me and it has no power.

It's just certain people loosing their minds over the idea of the Right embracing leftist tactics.
Y'know, the ones that have been rather devastatingly effective over the past decade(if not more).
Anyone using that term is not on your side.
It's subversive zionists desperately clinging to their stranglehold of the establishment, so this one is actually bipartisan.
For the right, they call us "woke right". For the left, they call them "Hamas supporters". Their goal is the same, regardless of which they call you.

Why would people who constantly undermine and subvert you, while pretending to be your friends, not want you to think about the friend/foe heuristic?
It's a riddle, shrouded in mystery, wrapped in enigma, marinated in paradox, deep fried in confusion and dipped in paradox.
Looks like Carl Schmitt doesn't get enough credit. Imagine how difficult and awkward warfare was back before he apparently invented the concept of being able to tell the difference between your friends and your enemies.
Anyone sincerely using the phrase “Woke Right” can be safely disregarded as a stupid, stupid faggot.

I read a bunch. He said nothing. I scrolled down to see the replies. To my horror, I wasn't even half way.
I asked ChatGPT to read it for me:

That's just Lindsay's third paragraph. Even the chatbot got too bored to finish.
James Lindsay has been extremely disappointing for the past year. I used to agree with him on 80% of things, and now it seems like 0%.
