Why Showing Up for Your Neighbors Is a Counter-strategy to Authoritarianism

If you've ever wondered whether any of this is working — the marching, the sharing, the showing up — this episode is for you. Diana Rhodes has been organizing since before reproductive justice was funded, before harm reduction was named in public health spaces, before any of it was mainstream. She's seen backlash cycles before. And she has something to say about this one.This episode covers: why protest is a tactic not a strategy, how movements survive suppression (spoiler: they go underground, they always have), why loving your neighbors is literally a counter-strategy to authoritarianism, and why you don't have to be the loud one to matter.Plus: Andor as political mirror, disco's suppression as historical parallel, and the social change ecosystem map that will make you reconsider your role in all of this.Group therapy disguised as cultural commentary. No partisan lecturing. Just people trying to make sense of a world that has gone jackass sideways.====================Subscribe, watch and listen to I'm Not Even Supposed to Be Here Podcast====================🖥️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BeHerePod📱 Apple: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/im-not-even-supposed-to-be-here-today/id1867373928🎧 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3bypMpSmcoIjt4bHk0nvzz?si=18eab826d1394fd9====================Sponsored by Bearing 287 https://www.bearing287.com/====================
