  #15 Power and Compassion: Can You Have Both? 24.03.2026 36мин

  Power is easy to recognise when it looks like bombs, borders and big men at podiums. It’s harder to name when it looks like a doctor refusing to give up on a collapsing hospital. In this episode I use the wars of today and the violences of history to ask whether ruthlessness is really strength or just a performance we’ve been trained to respect and what it would mean to build a politics where compassion is treated as a form of power, not a weakness. #You'reAJOAT

From the early days of Mxit, Tumblr, and Vine to today’s algorithm-driven feeds, we trace how platforms turned joy into a marketplace and made users the product.
