Show Notes
Mike talks with Adam Swart, the founder of Crowds on Demand, the original paid protesting firm, and a leading expert on protests, political optics, and narrative strategy. A lifelong liberal, Adam now finds himself increasingly "not liberal enough" for many in the modern Left.
Topics Mike and Adam discuss include:
- the false dichotomy between ‘real’ and ‘fake’ protests
- why every significant protest is a paid protest
- the left’s protest advantage over the right
- throwing tantrums vs getting things done
- the importance of barking up the right tree
- making geeky issues exciting
- if short-sellers could have been behind the Tesla protests
