RIF Podcast - Episode RIF Podcast - Episode 34: Surviving the Narrative Battles

In the inaugural live stream of the Resistances Fertile Podcast, hosts explore various aspects of resistance and activism. They discuss the importance of balanced media consumption, categorizing content into three streams: atrocity, attrition, and resistance. The discussion covers how these streams impact psychological resilience and defeatism. Other key topics include the international recognition of the Palestinian state, the role of China in global resistance narratives, and the importance of practical actions and psychological strategies in resisting the genocidal white empire. They emphasize the importance of maintaining the spirit of resistance and practical steps to counteract defeatism. Viewer interaction is encouraged with live questions and engagement, and an inspirational video from Gaza serves as a powerful reminder of resilience and steadfastness.
The episode emphasizes the collective power of global resistance and the ongoing battle for justice and liberation.
