In the case of Palestine, but not only there. In Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, Iran, Kuwait, and elsewhere we are seeing that a people organized can never be defeated.

***This episode was originally live-streamed on Twitter(X) and YouTube*** On this episode, my first in a while, I discuss my current thoughts about Star Wars and why it’s not a main focus of my life anymore.

This is in no way a history or in-depth analysis of the history of psychological warfare. This is my attempt to cover the way in which colonialism and imperialism use psychology in many ways more often than military might, in order to manipulate and control a population.

No matter what little time, skills, capacity, capabilities, or experience, you feel you may, or may not have - it’s all helpful in the struggle.

We also believe that until we get things sorted out in our individual, that …

In this episode, I talk about some of the difficulties with remaining positive through a very dehumanizing, morbid, draining, and existential moment that we are all living through today.
