Defeat defeatism! RIF Podcast Ep. 20

Defeating Defeatism: The Indomitable Spirit of Indigenous Resistance

Welcome to the Resistance is Fertile Podcast with Benji Nounja and Sacha! In this episode, we delve into the psychology of resistance and the psychology of those who oppress our freedoms. We discuss the recent unity and actions among various resistance groups and their historical roots, with a focus on the Rif War in Morocco. We explore the themes of mourning, resilience, and the importance of maintaining faith in indigenous resistance. Additionally, we highlight the current geopolitical landscape and the enduring spirit of indigenous weapon production. Join us as we analyze how to resist defeatism and celebrate victories against colonial oppression!
