In a discussion with slightly better audio, Austin and I discuss our shared experiences as participants in the Pro-Palestine campus student movement. Speaking from what we saw personally and what we saw across the larger protest wave, we discuss the lack of practical successes and the double-edged sword of normalization of the Palestine issue. We also discuss the faltering economic situation, the failure of a protest movement to coalesce for Iran, the Red Guards, and many other general digressions in a wide ranging discussion that was lots of fun. The conversation is a little old as it has taken me forever to upload, but I think remains relevant as the country compounds crises.

Part 2 will arrive next week for paid subscribers!
