In Bismarck, ND, a proposed mural of Greta Thunberg sparked outrage. But that outrage was voiced only by a minority, yet those involved were able to make it appear as if the community as a whole was divided on the situation. In the days that followed, certain individuals were able to capitalize on that division, and after many conversations, it appeared that the outrage that both sides were voicing was largely hypocritical. Neither side were on morally superior ground, and in the end, the entire community lost. In this episode, I look at how this all played out, and why freedom of speech needs to be protected.
