The "woke right" is a term used by political commentators and theologians to describe a faction within the modern American right wing that mirrors the tactics and worldviews typically associated with the "woke left" but directs them toward conservative or reactionary goals. This movement is often identified with the "Dissident Right" and is characterized by a rejection of traditional conservatism in favor of radical, identity-based politics.

The beliefs of the so-called "woke right" are not a cohesive, mainstream political platform but rather a radical, often online, set of views that generally include: 

Identity Politics: A central tenet is the belief that society is fundamentally ordered by group identity and a hierarchy of power. Unlike the left's focus on marginalized groups, the "woke right" believes that straight white men are the true victims in modern American culture.
Victimhood and Grievance: They adopt a strong sense of victimhood, arguing that "the world is out to get" white and male Americans, who are being culturally and politically marginalized by a "liberal hegemony" or "regime".
Rejection of Liberalism and Equality: Proponents often reject classical liberalism, democracy, and egalitarianism, viewing them as weaknesses that have enabled a "tyranny of the ruling class".
"Critical Consciousness" and "Red Pilling": Similar to the left's call to "get woke" to systemic oppression, the "woke right" uses terms like "taking the red pill" to describe an awakening to the perceived reality of their oppression.
Zero-Sum View of Power: They view politics as a Manichaean struggle between "friend" and "enemy" where power is the ultimate goal, and there is no neutral ground or possibility for debate.
Ethnonationalism/White Nationalism: A core element for some is a call for white racial solidarity and a "return" to an earlier, often mythologized, cultural vision based on patriarchy or "blood-and-soil ethnonationalism".
Anti-Semitism and Racism: The movement is often associated with vile forms of racism and anti-Semitism, with some participants engaging in transgressive behavior for shock value or to "own the libs".
Authoritarian and Totalitarian Leanings: Some of their ideas draw on the work of Nazi political theorists like Carl Schmitt, who emphasized the "friend/enemy distinction" as the essence of politics, and they may advocate for a strong, even absolute, state to enforce their social vision.

 
In essence, the "woke right" uses the same "energy" as the "woke left"—identity-focused, power-obsessed, and tribal—but points it in the opposite direction, as a reactionary force against what they perceive as a dominant progressive culture.

Key beliefs and characteristics of the woke right include:

Identitarianism and Victimhood: Like the woke left, they view society through the lens of group identity rather than individualism. They believe that straight, white, Christian men—whom they identify as "Heritage America"—are a marginalized group being systematically oppressed by a "secularist regime" or "liberal hegemony".
Critical Theory for the Right: Proponents often adopt a "critical" approach to social phenomena, unmasking what they see as hidden power structures. They replace left-wing targets with their own concepts, such as the "Longhouse" (perceived gynocratic rule) or "Trashworld" (their name for modern dystopian society).
"Basing" vs. "Queering": While the woke left "queers" norms to disrupt them, the woke right uses the term "based" to describe transgressive behavior intended to shock and dismantle liberal or "woke" norms. This often involves intentionally violating social standards regarding race, gender, and religion.
Rejection of Liberalism: They often view classical liberalism, egalitarianism, and democracy as "failed" projects that have enabled left-wing dominance. They may advocate for a "RETVRN" to pre-WWII or traditionalist social hierarchies, sometimes calling for rule by a "Christian Prince" or an ethno-nationalist state.

Tactical Mimicry: The woke right is noted for using "cancel culture," moral shaming, and "purity spirals" to enforce loyalty within its own ranks and to punish "fellow conservatives" who do not align with their radicalism.

Core Concepts:

The Postwar Consensus: The belief that the order established after WWII, focused on equality and civil rights, is a tyrannical system that must be overthrown.
Redpilling: The process of awakening "normies" to see the "true" nature of their oppression by elite power structures.
Friend/Enemy Distinction: Adopting a Manichean worldview where politics is reduced to a total struggle between "us" and "them".
