This episode of Subject To Change was recorded 2 days ago. I was in all the feels at the start of this episode 🥴… sharing because I wanna normalize feeling wobbly right now. Then, I offer a reality check around the left-to-right pipeline.
- I share about recent TDP blowback, both publicly and behind-the-scenes, & its ironic overlap with mainstream satire-censorship.
- We revisit the topic of shame, specifically how apologist shame can lead to the types of hyperbolic and vitriolic discourse that we are seeing so much of right now. (Whistleblowers are a prime target & I tell you why.)
- Diagonalism is defined & explored, specifically through Naomi Klein’s brilliant book, Doppelganger: A Trip Into The Mirror World. I read a few excerpts that wrap language around how truth distortions work to silence us, and share why I plan to keep showing up anyway.
- I tell you about two back-to-back dreams that I had on Labor Day night, not to be woo but because I think they illustrate the ambivalence that many of us are feeling right now.
- Plus, John Oliver & four words to live by when fighting a fascist government takeover.
