Manifest Destiny #23: A Fireside Chat With Alex Linder

This week we are joined by Alex Linder of VNN Forum for a whole lot of Real Talk.

Here is a taste; something Linder wrote years ago that I text grabbed…

“By all means, people are free to waste another 100 years speaking in their indoor voice, raising their niggling finger, and prefacing everything they say with disclaimers. But if you want change, you have to create a national angry groundswell willing to slur and kill and sup on the blood of its enemies, and you don’t get there by appealing to selfish bourgeois cowards…

What if instead of 100 activists we had 5,000? And they all went in the street with me? Can you imagine? What? You’re not willing to risk a misdemeanor charge on your “permanent” record. So then how serious are you? Not at all, right. Can you face that in yourself? That this is all just entertainment?”

  1. Linder going a mile a minute, pure gold.
    It is hard to get a word in when he’s on fire, as was apparent at times in this show. But solid show even with the mic crackle.
    Maybe you can Jan and Linder on a show in the future? but I bet it would be even harder to interject.
