I made this poster (pic of Eric Metaxas and his words) to honor the great man and theologian the late (anti-fascist fighter) Dietrich Bonhoeffer in Germany.
To be clear, Metaxas is an anti-woke activist and generally, like a Jordan B. Peterson, is out to diminish and erase critical theories (of the Left)... that said, I think the issue of "fear" in these debates and culture wars going on in the US and other places is striking. Each side of the Left and Right divide slings "fear" weapons at each other accusing the other of fearmongering--while failing to look at itself. I am not surprised that activist-educator Angela Davis recently has called the assaults on woke culture as indicative of another round, she called "the new McCarthyism" and, of course, the opponents to Davis would say likely the same thing about woke and critical consciousness folks. There's a lot of mud slinging going on--not that useful.
Btw. for a really good dialogue of Metaxas (philosopher) with David Berlinksy (philosopher)--go to a 2022 conversation: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9qFRdmxvbB8
