    From the BAFTA “oppression Olympics” and Valdo Calane’s Nottingham murders enabled by NHS race-conscious decisions, to the post-George Floyd homicide spike that claimed over 10,000 extra lives, the Southport stabbings, Manchester Arena bombing, grooming gangs scandal, and Ireland’s migrant crisis, Murphy exposes the horrifying human cost of prioritizing racism fears over public safety. They dissect the McPherson Report’s legacy, woke hierarchies, grooming gangs as Britain’s multicultural Rosetta Stone, and why anti-racism has become more deadly than the racism it claims to fight.

    Fiona Goddard bravely shares her story as a survivor from Bradford, revealing how she was targeted for years in a council-run care home.

    637. Is There A Link Between Autism & Extremism? - Prof. Ed Dutton

    2026/03/25 | 1h 6 mins.
    Ed Dutton exposes how autistic traits fuel extreme politics on both woke left and "woke right" 

    Ed Dutton is back on Heretics with Andrew Gold for an unfiltered, explosive interview that connects the dots between autism, neurodivergence, and the rise of radical politics. Discover how autistic traits — obsessive systematizing, poor theory of mind, low cognitive empathy, black-and-white thinking, and intense need for order — create the perfect psychological profile for extreme activists and leaders on both the woke left (think Greta Thunberg-style crusaders) and the emerging "woke right" (purity-spiraling far-right factions obsessed with grievance and dogma).

    Dutton breaks down why these traits produce geniuses who rock the boat but also unstable identities, frequent meltdowns, and movements that fracture quickly. We dive deep into historical and modern examples: Margaret Thatcher's possible autism, Elon Musk's unaccountable power and autistic traits, Churchill's rumored sensitivities, and the dark-triad drive behind anti-woke rebels like Andrew himself. Then comes the real shocker — Dutton's controversial new book on "The Quaker Question," exposing how this tiny, virtue-signaling group has quietly bankrolled and shaped endless left-wing causes for centuries (from anti-slavery to modern anti-colonialism, prison reform, vegetarianism, and even early naked protests). Are Quakers the real hidden hand behind woke ideology? Packed with evolutionary psychology insights, personality trait analysis, and no-holds-barred takes on purity spirals, victimhood culture, grievance hierarchies, and why both extremes attract the same unstable psychology.

    This is the kind of raw, anti-woke conversation mainstream media would never touch — don't miss it.
