Description

In this episode, Connor discusses the Colombian rebel group M-19 (Movimiento 19 de Abril, 19th of April Movement), made famous for stealing the sword belonging to Simon Bolivar, the liberator of much of South America. M-19 expected this theft to spark a popular revolution, which they would lead, sword in hand. … history tells us it played out differently. In this cautionary tale, the guys discuss the problem of echo chambers and believing a little too strongly in one’s own messaging.
