America Is Entering A Dangerous Moment — With Timothy Snyder

Historian Timothy Snyder joins Scott Galloway to put the current political moment in historical context — and to explain why it should not be dismissed as abstract or theoretical.

They discuss recent killings during federal immigration operations, how propaganda attempts to overwrite reality, and why video evidence and “small truths” matter in resisting authoritarian power. Tim also examines the role of corporations, the limits of political parties, and what history shows about protest, coalition-building, and civic action.
