S6E3 - The Tyranny Around Us

The history we all share is replete with injustice, often spearheaded by people and systems in power.

If you take a historical journey through the 20th and 21st centuries, you might easily spot infamous Tyrants who have spurred injustice across all continents.

In this episode, we used the Tyranny Playbook from the Netflix docu-series, HOW TO BECOME A TYRANT, as a guide to see possible repeating patterns of tyranny in our present world. 

As Nigerians, we couldn’t avoid the reality of what the #EndSARS protests from last year have revealed about our government in power, and using the Tyranny playbook gave us the vocabulary to try and understand how close or far we are from living in a truly tyrannical society. 

This episode got more animated as we took the tyrannical playbook into the context of cancel culture, modern social justice, and everyday social participation. 

It was not a rosy debate. 

But for us, the value we believe you will get from this episode lies in the personal and societal reflections that we hope it spurs you into making while listening. 

Set your alarms and notifications because you don't want to miss this when it drops! 

We hope you enjoy it! 💛
