“It is a zero sum story that says ‘fear your neighbor’ instead of joining forces with them.” @heathercmcghee.bsky.social on the ways those in power exploit racial division to hold us all back.

Jon is a true American hero. Fighting for all of us. He has done more for America than 99% of politicians. Just tell us what position in our government you want and it's yours brother. We all owe you that. Veterans for Jon sounds good on a sign for president. Take care my friend.
I agree with most of what she says, but halfway through the episode and every example is about Black America. Come on, and open this up. It’s many races and ethnicities we should be talking about.
Divide and Rule, the oldest trick in the book, used by tyrants for millennia. Also finding an excuse to have a war, to distract the populace from a regimes failings. The use of ' Patriotism', like George W Bush,' Your either with us or against us', a tactic Trump uses shamelessly.
Economic suppression all but guarantees that people are psyopped into targetting each other instead of the people with the necesary money to provide for peoples' stability and emancipation.
i thought a main lesson from her book was that it’s not just “zero sum”. it’s negative sum. we are all worse off. when the pool closes, we ALL don’t get to enjoy it.
I love this episode! Heather is so smart and powerful in her humor and sincerity. I just wish Jon would stop focusing on Trump having a "plan" or "meaning" behind his acts. He does as whomever last jerked off his ego wants. He's a marionette with 15 masters. But all want a king they can influence.
