A podcast where the curiosities of life, death and the in-beteeen are celebrated and explored.

    Bootleg and Catnip

    Bootleg and Catnip

    Have you ever considered why, despite intense activism, revolutions in democratic societies like the U.S. seem like a distant echo from our history books? Journey with us as we dissect the anatomy of revolutions and social change and peel back the layers of effective social activism, revealing that the key to enduring change lies in strategic groundwork rather than spontaneous outbursts of protest. We delve into the potency of grassroots movements, the indispensable role of education, and the power of nuanced dialogue, all while weighing the pros and cons of emotionally charged rhetoric versus the disciplined approach necessary for legislative reform. Every vote cast and voice raised is an integral step on the arduous path to progress, and our conversation underscores the pivotal role of these actions in shaping a just society.

    Lastly, we reflect on the poignant story of the 1968 student-led movement in Mexico, a stirring testament to the collective call for systemic change. We recount the spirit of solidarity that unified Mexican communities, only to be met with the stark brutality of government forces during the Tlatelolco massacre. This historical event, much like the contemporary movements, reminds us of the delicate balance between the power of the people and the narratives constructed by those in power. By remembering such struggles, we safeguard the truth and honor the courage of those who stood, and continue to stand, against oppression.
