  • Very peculiar

    Everyone in this podcast is living hand to mouth from government money but also have created personalities entirely out of a penchant for uncompromisingly calling for others to smash the government.

    I think a psychologist or psychiatrist in years to come will have a lot ot material here to work with, and i very much look forward to that podcast.

  • Great podcast, they walk the walk and say no to z**nists on principle

    It’s a cool podcast! I learned a lot about resistance, anti-imperialism and what you can do as an ally to help. Founder and coordinator Matt Chun is an absolute legend. He unknowingly took government grant money from the State Library of Victoria for years, you can see it on their annual reports, without knowing it was z*onist-funded!! And now he’s pledged to give every dollar of that money to Palestinian causes - that’s tens of thousands of dollars for Palestine! It shows that these people real... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Anak Bayan Part One: History of Colonisation in the Philippines
Q: What is the significance of the Katipunan in shaping Filipino national identity and resistance?
Katipunan represented a broad, organized push from the grassroots to unite diverse groups under a national democratic banner, catalyzing a mass movement that challenged colonial rule and laid groundwork for future struggles against imperialism, even as later narratives complicated who was seen as liberator or occupier.
Anak Bayan Part One: History of Colonisation in the Philippines
Q: Why is it important to discuss the shift from encomienda to hacienda when talking about colonial control in the Philippines?
The shift shows how control evolved from direct resource extraction to land-based dominance by the elite, which entrenched a system of debt and dependency for the Indigenous population and linked peasant labor to a powerful local ruling class, thereby sustaining exploitation across generations.
The Palestinian Feminist Collective and Third World Feminism
Q: Why is Palestine essential to feminism?
PFC argues that mainstream feminist narratives often ignore the intertwined nature of Palestinian struggles with feminism, claiming that separating these issues undermines the fight against imperialism and oppression, which are central to their feminist discourse.
The Palestinian Feminist Collective and Third World Feminism
Q: Could you talk a little bit about the Palestinian Feminist Collective? How did it start, the goals, and the purpose of the organization?
The Palestinian Feminist Collective (PFC) was formed in response to a call from Palestinian women to challenge liberal Zionism and spread the Palestinian narrative through a feminist lens, particularly after the murder of Isfah Faddeh. It started as a reading group among various organizers, academics, and artists.
Episode 11: Season Two: Inuit Sovereignty in Nunarput
Q: What does the end goal look like? What do you see as the best outcome for Inuit in Nunarput?
The final goal for me would be to unite with Inuit across the Arctic, to establish a connection, establish a collaboration, establish a state, to become part of that Inuit community, so we can become a whole again.
