The Power of Nope! - RIFPodcast ep.28

The Psychology of Resistance: Tactics Against Oppression and Narcissism

In this episode of the 'Resistance Is Fertile' podcast, Sacha and Benji dive deep into the layers of the enemy, emphasizing the psychological battleground. We discuss the manipulation tactics of narcissistic systems and how individuals can break free by understanding and resisting oppression. We underscore the importance of clarity and vigilance, the transformative role of protests, and the power of individual nopes in fostering resistance. We argue that to combat narcissistic oppression effectively, we must focus on ourselves and our own humanity first. Next, the struggle is not only about direct confrontations but also about altering perceptions and targeting non-narcissistic actors. We close by encouraging listeners to stand up for human dignity and support resistance efforts like those in Gaza, while humorously acknowledging the challenges posed by Zionist censorship.
