the most radical thing about this in it's context is that in the moment there is no discussion about this being a radical act. in the moment, on the show, Fred Rogers simply says "isn't it nice to soak your feet after a long day" and then him and the mailman (i forget his name) just soak their feet and speak as equals about how their day is going and how nice it feels to be neighborly to each other.

the most radical acts of defiance don't look like defiance at all. they look like a friend being a friend. ultimately, that's all solidarity is. a willingness to make friends with people who are different from you
