Join us for a thought-provoking episode of Thoughtfully Mindless as we sit down with Xi Van Fleet, a survivor of Mao’s Cultural Revolution, to explore the striking parallels between that era and today’s social movements. Xi shares her powerful personal experiences of living through one of the most turbulent times in modern history and offers unique insights into how elements of those past movements are reappearing in today’s cultural and political landscape.

We discuss the dangers of ideological extremism, the rise of identity politics, and the impact these movements can have on free speech and individual freedoms. Xi’s perspective is both a warning and a call for greater awareness of the forces that shape society. This episode offers valuable lessons from history, as well as a critical examination of how current movements may be repeating the past.
