149: Nathan Allebach - Twitter, Urbanism and Discourse
Narratives w/Will Jarvis
The Importance of Diversity in Movements
I think any movement needs a diversity of tactics and obviously when I say everything belongs out me you know bomb like bomb your opponents or whatever. You just got to figure out where are you strength sec and you're right and you get in front of a camera if you can't do either of those things is it worth trying. Not everybody can be the biggest podcast or the biggest youtuber or the biggest songwriter in the world but you know if you have a strength that that you had a passion about something I think just pursue it even if you've got 10 people listening or a hundred people listeningYou don't need to be some big content creator because there's so much space on the internet
