Stages of a Riot, Ilhan Omar and Safety Nets

The discussion outlines the strategic waves of a riot, beginning with an "initiation" followed by non-violent protesters.

Character Archetypes, The Outcast and the Evil Witch

The hosts map the characters of *The Wizard of Oz* onto the current political landscape: Dorothy represents black women, the Scarecrow represents those who can't think for themselves, and the Tin Man represents those who just want to "feel." They identify Donald Trump as the "Evil Witch" and George Soros as the "Wizard" behind the curtain. They argue the movement has been hijacked by "outcasts" seeking to tear down the system.

The timing of this visit to Germany during the rise of the Nazi party is highlighted as a curious and under-discussed historical detail.
