The Politics of Imaginary Enemies
from Firing Lane · host Croaky Caiman
When opponents can’t defeat the person who actually exists… they invent a different one. A cartoon version. A straw man. A political Bigfoot. Then they spend all day attacking that instead. That’s modern politics. In this episode of Firing Lane Croaky talks about why serious movements start with ideas, not personalities. And why the “fictional enemy” tells you who the real threat is.
