Episode 402 Promo - Getting from Protest to Revolution (w/ Vincent Bevins)
Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock this episode and our entire premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast Author of The Jakarta Method and If We Burn: The Mass Protest Decade and the Missing Revolution Vincent Bevins joins Bad Faith to discuss how to turn protests into revolutionary change. In If We Burn he analyzes over a dozen movements from the Arab Spring to Occupy Wall Street to the protests in Hong Kong and Brazil to establish the conditions that create mass movements. Then he takes it a step rather, investigating why those movements have not manifested in progress and have, at times, actually preceded a political regression. In this sprawling three hour conversation we do “applied history” and try to break down what went wrong after the BLM protests of 2020 and how to prevent those failures now that we’re in the middle of global protests over Israel’s genocide on Gaza.

Subscribe to Bad Faith on Patreon to instantly unlock our full premium episode library: http://patreon.com/badfaithpodcast This week, Briahna spoke to friend of the show (and star of Rising Mondays) Olayemi Olurin about the compounding Kayne West scandals that emerged this week. Was his "Death Con 3" tweet enough to finally "cancel" him? Apparently not for Candace Owens, who mounted a full defense on her podcast earlier this week. We tackle it all, from the Tucker interview to the Sarah Silverman tweet, and engage in a health debate about the merits of watching right wing media at all.
