Macroaggressions#529: The Language Of Betterarchy | Dani Katz (Clip)Author Dani Katz is back to discuss her new book, The Language of Betterarchy, to discuss how we work towards a society that is undivided and empowered. As we dismantle the victim culture and refuse identity politics, we come together with unity, trust, and cooperation.
It’s not the Patriarchy’s fault, but Hierarchy instead, and she suggests that we use language as a tool to manifest a better society. The words we use carry weight, and intention matters when speaking. We can change our words and change our lives.
