About this listen
"Wait—We Bombed Iran?!"
That was John’s actual reaction after getting hit with a barrage of American flag emojis. No clue. Zero context. The U.S. had bombed Iran, and he was completely in the dark. That moment kicks off a brutally honest convo about what it means to be disconnected - and whether staying plugged in even helps anymore.
We get into it: how media manipulates perception during protests, why LA wasn’t actually burning (despite what the chyrons said), and who really benefits when chaos gets amplified. We also break down the myth of the “$6,500/week paid protester” (spoiler: we’re still waiting on our checks) and how real organizing works behind the scenes.
This isn’t a thinkpiece. It’s a gut-check. If you're tired of the noise, but still want to know what’s really happening underneath the headlines - this one’s for you.
