Future Hindsight is a weekly podcastthat takes big ideas in civic life and democracy and turns them into action items for everyday citizens.

Oct 24, 2024

We discuss the purpose of fascist education, the political nature of universities in defending democracy, and the dangers of America’s powerful exceptionalist narrative.

 

Jason’s civic action toolkit recommendations are: 

  1. Stand up in solidarity with those who are political targets

  2. Understand other people’s perspectives because that gives them the voice in a democracy

 

Jason Stanley is the Jacob Urowsky Professor of Philosophy at Yale University and the author of seven books. His most recent is Erasing History: How Fascists Rewrite the Past to Control the Future.
