1/200 S2E74 - Terrorism: A Very Short Introduction

We talk US college campuses and crackdowns on protest, the complicity of University administrations in authoritarian actions and how this looks in the NZ context. Josephine is recently back from India where national elections are just getting underway, we discuss democracy in the Global South. And Winston Peters is making a joke of NZ again with his recent comments about an Australian politician and AUKUS.(The title refers to NYPD finding a copy of the so-titled textbook and attempting to use it as evidence against campus protestors.)This episode’s co-hostsBranko, Josephine, KyleTimestamps0:00 Introductions2:57 Crackdown on U.S College Campus Protests7:52 This Generation of Protests10:09 Disproportionate Response20:16 Governmental Responses24:12 “Lesser of Two Evils” 29:10 New Zealand University Response 31:07 Neo-Liberalisation of Western Universities 36:18 Indian Elections47:30 The Winston Peters Update56:40 ClosingIntro/Outro by The Prophet MotiveSupport us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200
