Ta-Nehisi Coates – “The Message” & Understanding the Humiliation of Oppression | The Daily Show

1. Ta and John are the best. And truly, our oppression will not save us. Thank you, gentlemen.

2. Awesome conversation

3. Stewart trying to downplay the ethic cleansing of Palestinians again. Sick!

4. Better interview than CBS

5. Jon doesn't say "I read the book" because he doesn't have to.

6. This might be the best conversation ever had in this show just wow

7. I don't know if there will ever be peace

8. Brilliant interview! Can't wait to buy the book!

9. Top historians blindfoldet about fogotten history tragedy related to Gaza https://youtu.be/GHmNsJtM1mQ?feature=shared

10. Kindness to ourselves and others overcomes the zero sum game. Thoughts and feelings of kindness when these become dominant within ourselves helps us to overcome the negative driving emotions and thoughts that produce the current state of affairs.

11. I have never run to the bookstore so fast in my life. This will be my first Ta-Nehisi Coates read, and judging by this interview, it certainly won't be the last.

12. The spelling of his name is incorrect on the graphic

13. but.. amen.. beautiful and moving.

14. The question of “has there ever been a better way of organizing than the nation-state?” is treated extensively in a book called the “Dawn of Everything” by David Graeber & David Wengrow. It looks at the historic evidence for other, more egalitarian and peaceful systems of human organization than what we have now. Native American political systems, Gobekli Tepe in Turkey, Mayans, Minoans, and many others are discussed in terms of agrarian development, socio-political organization, and slavery. It turned a number of assumptions about the inevitability of top down rule on their head for me. Highly recommended and a worthy follow up to this conversation between Coates and Stewart.

15. Beautiful.

16. Love you Jon Stewart
    For allowing this discussion to happen

17. Must their always be an oppressed and oppressors

18. I have always said that Isreal is the proof that an abused can become an abuser

19. The only mechanism for healing trauma is to enable safe space and healing. And honestly, that's a very personal thing for everyone. Not to mention incredibly difficult.

20. Great interview

21. You have to have this man on your podcast,
    Please Jon
