The Tipping point? RIF Podcast Ep.22

In this episode, Sacha and Benji dive into the complex narrative dynamics around the recent 12-day war with Iran, exploring themes from performative actions in warfare to the strategic patience required in the resistance. They discuss the psychological warfare at play, the diverging costs of conflict for empires and resistance movements, and how technological and cultural shifts are reshaping public perception. The episode touches on the desperate attempts of Zionists to control the narrative, including the backlash to Bob Vylan's powerful Glastonbury chant, and how these actions reveal the Empire's descent into supervillain territory. This wide-ranging discussion blends personal reflections with geopolitical analysis, questioning the ethical and societal impacts of ongoing conflicts.
