Manage episode 499098855 series 3678019
You’re about to hear the first ever podcast interview with 19-year-old pro-Palestine TikTokker Guy Christensen. Every revolutionary can learn something from this kind, determined young man.
Guy has over 3 million TikTok followers and had almost half a million on Instagram before Meta kicked him off the platform. Because of his pro-Palestine activism, He’s been smeared in the media, threatened with FBI and DOJ investigations, and faced challenges as a student that he can’t even discuss publicly yet.
This interview with Guy will give you a student’s perspective on how to laugh in the face of adversity. It’ll energize you as you keep fighting for liberation with all you’ve got.
In this episode, you will learn:
- what triggered Guy to start standing up for Palestine and his advice to new activists
- his perspective on recent developments at Columbia and Harvard
- the disturbing reality about the JCC Maccabi games hosted at the University of Pittsburgh, and why Guy was so passionate about protesting them
You’ll also hear
- Guy respond to Chris Cuomo accusing him of being a radical Islamist (spoiler alert: he isn’t one)
- his response to the New York Post insisting that he built his platform by “glorfiying terrorism” (yeah, we know they’re liars over there)
And that’s just part 1 of Guy’s interview! Next week, I’ll release part 2.
You can find Guy on TikTok @yourfavoriteguy and on UpScrolled @guy.
