Outside Agitators Are Good, Actually
May 09, 2024•54 min•Ep 1•Transcript available on Metacast Episode description
"When people come from outside your community or your campus, it makes you feel like you're connected to a bigger whole," says Solidarity co-author Astra Taylor. "It makes you feel like what's happening there matters. It creates a sense of a larger coalition. And that's powerful, which is exactly why the people in power don't like it." In this episode, Kelly talks with Taylor and Leah Hunt-Hendrix about solidarity, divide-and-conquer tactics, and the concept of “outside agitators.”
Music: Son Monarcas, Curved Mirror, Pulsed & David Celeste
