Seriously, it is not fair to make a
professor follow these astounding poets
y'all fall asleep in my classes when
your grades are on the line and you
expect me to keep your attention at this
point in the night. But I love Andrew
I'm going to give it a shot, but I'm not
going to follow the rules. So Andrew told
me to get up here he told me to talk
about the resistance and the theory
behind it, but I want to tell a story
about a teacher. It's a different sort of
teacher it's a buddy of mine his name is
Sami Ben Gharbia.
He's a Tunisian activist, grew up in
Tunisia under the government of this guy
named Ben Ali.
He'd been president for something like
15 years by the time Sammy was 20 and he
didn't let free press, he didn't let
people move around, he basically made it
incredibly hard unless you were already
privileged to get a job or to get an
education. And my buddy
Sami moved to Iran so he could be
someplace less repressive than Ben Ali's
Tunisia. And after hanging out in Iran
for a little while and discovering that
that wasn't exactly his speed either he
spent seven years as a refugee in the
Netherlands trying to get citizenship as
a political dissident. And while he was
in the Netherlands people in Tunisia
started taking to the streets protesting
what was going on with the government
there and Sami was the media guy. He was
the guy getting the video out of the
country, he was translating it, he was
putting it all on Al Jazeera and it
would broadcast on Al Jazeera and other
people would see it and they would take
to the streets. And that was the first
shot in the Arab Spring. Tunisia was the
government that fell first in part
because of my friend Sami. And the
government falls and the day after people
call Sami up and they say, 'you should
come back, come back to the country, you
should be a minister, you should be the
minister of information, you should take
over, you should help us build the new
government.' He says, 'Fuck no, I'm coming
back but there's no way I'm going into
government' and people go, 'what the hell
you're talking about? This is what we've
been fighting for you're
entire adult life' and he says, 'No, no, no,
I'm coming back and I'm starting a free
press because I'm going to keep an eye
on you because you're the
revolutionaries now but now you're the
establishment and someone has to watch
you and someone has to keep you honest
and I'm going to build the system that
watches you and keeps you honest.'
So my teachers are activists these are the
people that I study and that I support.
These are the people that I work with at
MIT and over at Global Voices and I got
to tell you the most important thing
these activists have told me: is that you
got to stay angry. So here's something
that I am grateful to Donald Trump for,
he's making it really easy to stay angry.
He gets inaugurated with pathetically
small crowd that he can't stop talking
about and we get angry and we take to
the streets and have the largest March
in the Nation's history for Women.
He appoints a climate change denier to head
of the EPA and we turned the Earth Day
into a March for Science. He brings death
panels, the illusory death panels
actually to life today and I have faith
that we're going to find a new and
powerful way to resist again.
But we can't just be angry there's going to be
too much to be angry about for too long.
It's time to figure out how to be angry
and to figure out how to be smart.
So here's my diagnosis here's what I think happened:
I don't think Donald Trump won because
he had the best set of ideas, the best
set of policies, he certainly didn't
have the best hair. I think Donald Trump
won because people are pissed off at the
way systems work today. And Donald Trump
was more blunt I'm not going to say
honest but was more blunt about talking
about ways in which systems are broken
and not working for people than anyone
we put up for the other side.
Yep we had Bernie Sanders he's a great
example of trying to harness that anger
and then the Democratic Party did
whatever it could to keep him down.
People are realizing that the systems
that we live with and don't work very
well for them. And people are becoming
insurrectionists.
Insurrectionists are people who look at the systems that we
have right now and say wait a second
inequalities going up, quality of life is going down, life expectancy
is going down, I'm expecting less for my
kids than I expected for myself
something's wrong here.
An insurrectionist look at this and say
maybe it's time to get rid of some of
these systems maybe it's time to switch
things around shift things up.
And like left and right there's balance on the
other side there's institutionalist
there's people who look and say look
yeah there's problems we need more
people to get behind these institutions
to try to make them better.
Trump is the first time we really saw an
insurrectionist step up and win in this
country. And unfortunately he's an
insurrectionist on the other side.
I get to hang out with a lot of left-wing
insurrectionists, I saw one of them tweet
this the other day Me in 2016:
"Smash the system"
Me in 2017:
"No, no, not like that"
But trying to figure out when it's time
to smash the system and when it's time
to hold it up. That's what being angry
and smart is all about so here's
politics for insurrectionists:
if you're looking at this and saying hey I don't
really expect Congress to do much of
anything yep they managed to pass this
terrible bill through the house
they're not going to pass it through the Senate,
things are going to grind to a halt.
Congress has a nine percent approval
rating you're going to ask yourself why
is it that I would be working on law
as my way of making change? But there's good
news it's not the only way to make
change and one of the things that
insurrectionists have to get good at is
realizing that we've got more than one lever.
We got really far with law;
we got the civil rights movement,
we got gay rights, we've gotten major
transformations including something
stepping towards universal healthcare.
But for people on our side of the battle
that's not how we're going to make a lot
of change at least the next four years.
So we got to get good at other ways of making change.
Here's one way people make change:
They make change through markets.
Got a lot of left-wing people in this
room we don't much like capitalism much
of us but it's a really interesting way
to assert power.
Who's watching 'Sleeping Giants'
This is a group that is carving
away at the financial support for Breitbart.
They're contacting every
single advertiser who's ad shows up on
Breitbart they've gotten more than 1,500
to pull their money.
Slowly, but surely
they are taking down this incredible
megaphone for hatred and fake news
that's polluting people's minds in the
political discourse that we're having.
We've got people who are finding ways to
make change through code, through
technology, they look and they say look
even under Obama we couldn't find a way
to start a privacy movement we couldn't
find a way to get people's online
information protected and by the way
it's gotten worse thanks to some of the
decisions that the FCC has made but
we've got technologists and they're
creating tor and they're creating signal
they're creating all of these tools to
help us communicate securely and that's
a way of making change.
And for a lot of
us in this room folks like our friend
Andrew slack trying to make change
through norms saying how can we get
people to view and think about the world differently.
That's what The Dreamers are about.
That's what it means not to call
people "illegal," but to call them
"undocumented"
That's what Black Lives Matter in part is about is getting
people to understand that part of what
happens when a police officer unholsters
a gun is that they are more
likely to see a black man as a
threat, to overestimate his age,
to overestimate how dangerous he is, and
until we find ways to change those norms
we can't really address the tragic
violence that's going on in the country
between police and communities of color.
So we've got to find ways to use all of
these tools. If we can't get there
through law we've got to get there
through other ways, but I want to give a
quick shout out to the institutionalists
in the crowd because it's really sexy to
be an insurrectionist it's like being
part of the Rebel Alliance everyone's
really psyched, you get to wear the
scruffy clothes, you get to feel really
badass about it there's a really good
espirit de corps, but I got to tell you when
he builds the Trump sphere
these guys are incompetent but they're
not going to leave an exhaust shaft open
reaching straight to the reactor core,
it's not going to be that easy.
We're going to need the help from the inside as well.
So let's hear it for the
institutionalist, let's hear it for the
people who are working within government
trying desperately hard to maintain the
rights that we have.
Let's hear it for people in the EPA who are saving data sets
so that we know that ocean levels are rising,
and that we know the temperature's going up
even if they're trying to take that
information away from us.
Let's hear it for the people in the Department of
Energy who are refusing to give each
other's names as people who've gone to
climate conferences.
Let's hear it for my friend Adam Foss who's a Prosecutor
He's a DA in Suffolk County in Boston and he
decided that he was sick of putting
black boys in prison and he decided that
his job wasn't about incarcerating
people it was about justice and he
started reworking so that people had
ways to do community service and stay
out of jail and built diversion programs.
This is what people of good character
and good will can do within institutions.
So if you're an insider it's time to
strengthen the institutions that
protect our rights.
If you're an outsider it's time to tear down the institutions
that are holding us back and holding us down.
If you're an insider it's time to
find the injustices in the systems
that you help prop up, that I help prop
up and rip them out.
If you're an outsider it's time to build something
that's better than what we have today.
Something that's stronger, and fairer, and braver.
It's May the Fourth, it's time to
stay angry and it's time to get smart.
It's time to fight, it's time to figure
out where you're an insider and where
you're an outsider. It's time to figure
out what lever of change you can pull
and what change right now you can make
it's tonight, it's now.
May the Fourth Be With You
