The Resistance Strikes back- RIF Podcast ep.16

The Psychology of Oppression and Resistance: Analyzing Global Struggles

Welcome to the 'Resistance This Fertile' podcast with hosts Benji, Nja, and Sasha. In this episode, we delve into the psychology of oppression and resistance, discussing a range of topics including the Palestinian question, the concept of negotiations, and the ethical battlefield. We examine the impact of imperialism, settler colonialism, and resistance movements globally, including recent developments in Gaza, Yemen, and the larger global South. We reflect on the resilience and strategies of resistance, the role of indigenous knowledge, and the cracks appearing in colonizer mindsets. The episode also highlights the importance of rejecting colonial narratives and embracing a more equitable, communal approach to liberation. Join us for this in-depth exploration of current events, historical contexts, and future possibilities for global justice and peace.
