What We Think

Mountain Men is about as non-woke as you can get on modern TV. The show highlights self-reliance, traditional values, and the kind of ruggedness that Hollywood usually ignores these days. Ideology and forced diversity don’t intrude on the mountain scenery.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

Mountain Men sticks to real-life stories about rugged individuals surviving off the grid. There's little to no evidence of casting or scripting decisions being made for the sake of identity politics, and character development focuses on actual skills and struggles. Social themes and ideological agendas don’t take center stage.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Not Woke

What is this?

The show openly celebrates traditional masculinity, family dynamics, and self-reliance. These cultural foundations are front and center, with no sense that they’re being mocked or undermined. Values like hard work, community, and faith are presented sincerely, not subverted.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Not Woke

What is this?

Alternative worldviews aren’t the focus, but the show doesn’t mock or villainize traditional perspectives either. It’s a showcase of rugged individualists with strong values, and there’s minimal presence of political or ideological ‘monoculture’ pushing. It’s just not the show’s concern.
