How Woke Culture is Changing Society
In this episode of The Court of Public Opinion, Jeremy Cordeaux offers a strong critique of what he refers to as the dangers of political correctness. From the start, Cordeaux expresses his frustration, stating, “It’s all political correctness and crap.” He argues that woke culture is influencing nearly every aspect of Australian society, including freedom of speech and education. As political correctness becomes more ingrained in social norms, Cordeaux suggests that it is leading to a suppression of free discourse.

One example provided is the influence of woke culture on media and educational content, which is believed to increasingly target younger audiences in inappropriate ways. Cordeaux references the controversy surrounding the book Welcome to Sex, stating, “This book is being marketed to kids as young as eight years old.”
Political Correctness : Where Does It End?
Jeremy Cordeaux also questions the long-term implications of these societal changes. In a particularly controversial statement, he references a claim that dogs are being banned in certain areas of Sydney due to religious customs. “Have you heard of this? In parts of Sydney, they are banning dogs due to Sharia law?” he asks his audience, urging listeners to consider how far correctness can go before it starts infringing on individual freedoms.
Cordeaux’s argument challenges listeners to reflect on what they are willing to accept. How much these changes could reshape the core values of Australian society? He points out that they often appear to divide rather than unite people. “Our world is divided into wise people and fools,” he adds. Further emphasising the social tension created by political correctness.
The Larger Impact of Political Correctness
Throughout the ep, Jeremy paints a picture of a society that is gradually losing its sense of individuality and freedom. Calling on listeners to be aware of how cultural shifts might affect not only the present but also future generations. “We can’t allow ourselves to be silenced by political correctness. It’s time to stand up for common sense,” he argues.
