    I have tears. What a great idea! I sent it to so many ppl. Long live the resistance.

    An episode of just Lara doing a mock couch session/ coaching towards a revolutionary mind would be really interesting too.

    We must all commit to radical action now. Time for planning is over. Could use a pep talk ha

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

IN SESSION #17: Lebanon, normalization & fiber optic resistance with Rania Khalek
Q: What role do regional elites and international powers play in Lebanon's current predicament?
The guests discuss how pro-American, pro-Israeli Lebanese elites navigate alliances with the US, Israel, and Gulf states, shaping policy to serve their own interests while undermining sovereignty and fueling displacement and conflict.
IN SESSION #17: Lebanon, normalization & fiber optic resistance with Rania Khalek
Q: Can you explain the concept of fiber optic resistance and why it matters?
Rania explains wired fiber optic drones as a cost-effective, hard-to jam method of ground defense, enabling a more direct form of resistance that bypasses traditional RF-based limitations, and demonstrates innovation arising from necessity.
IN SESSION #17: Lebanon, normalization & fiber optic resistance with Rania Khalek
Q: What is the current strategic situation in Lebanon, and how does it affect ordinary people on the ground?
The hosts describe an unstable ceasefire that never truly resolves the violence, with forced displacements, infrastructure destruction, and a government aligned with foreign powers, while ordinary people continue to resist and hold onto land and rights.
IN SESSION #11: Psychology, complicity and the myth of neutrality with Maria Fakhouri
Q: How are you this morning?
Maria describes being thriving and connected to the energy of collaboration, while acknowledging ongoing struggles and the need to stay engaged rather than retreat into neutrality.
Françoise Vergès: The world is made through struggle
Q: What is the core idea behind the banana method, and how does it help readers understand complex systems of power?
The banana method starts from a banal object to unfold a comprehensive analysis of political, economic, cultural, and social ecosystems, showing how everyday items reveal the interconnectedness of labor, imperialism, and capitalism beyond disciplinary silos.
