1/200 S2E74 - Terrorism: A Very Short Introduction 1/200

We talk US college campuses and crackdowns on protest, the complicity of University administrations in authoritarian actions and how this looks in the NZ context. Josephine is recently back from India where national elections are just getting underway, we discuss democracy in the Global South. And Winston Peters is making a joke of NZ again with his recent comments about an Australian politician and AUKUS.
(The title refers to NYPD finding a copy of the so-titled textbook and attempting to use it as evidence against campus protestors.)
