Spreading resistance consciousness - RIF Podcast ep.8 - 4 March 2025

In this episode, we discuss hope, self-determination, how resistance is noble, the assault on truth, the anti-human nature of imperial colonialism, how European colonists who dehumanize colonized peoples imagine that self-determination would mean the colonized would fully become inhuman monsters. Finally, we outline how indigenous perspectives are central to reclaiming a self-determined humanity
