Narrative collapse: dehumanized dehumanizers - RIF Podcast Ep.23

Psychology of Oppressors and Resistance: Narrative Battles and Dehumanization

Welcome to the Resistances Fertile Podcast with Sacha and Benji. In this episode, we delve into the psychology of oppressors and resistance. Discussing recent geopolitical events, we analyze the psychological warfare on the battlefield and the complex dynamic between oppressors and resisters. The conversation touches on how oppressive regimes build their narratives and the implications of dehumanization, both historically and in present contexts. We explore the ideological and psychological collapses within oppressive entities, drawing parallels back to Nazi Germany and other historical contexts. Additionally, we talk about the new roles of media and narrative control in modern-day conflicts. Join us as we unpack these intricate layers, shedding light on the broader implications for national liberation movements and the enduring struggle for human dignity and freedom.
