This is a public excerpt from ep32 of Habibti Please. Get access to the full conversation with Vincent Bevins at habibtiplease.substack.com/subscribe

The austerity measures that were first implemented during the pandemic will not ease post-pandemic. Global vaccine apartheid continues to exist and it seems that only those in North America with relations outside of North America or to communities. It feels eerily familiar for people who straddle worlds to be aware that “back to normal” means back to normal for people completely detached from the global reality of how COVID continues to ravage people outside of the imperial core.

This episode takes a look at how the world we all now came to be. One where vaccine apartheid is normalized for so many. One where extermination programs and coups are staples. In this episode Shaadie and Nashwa interview Vincent Bevins, author of the Jakarta Method. Nashwa and Shaadie approached this episode with the thought and care they approach other work with. They wanted to honor those who died and survived the mass extermination in Indonesia while also weaving our own understanding as young Muslims of the world into this episode.

Bevins book Jakarta Method is an accessible must-read about the United State's role in constructing a global anti-communist network. In 1965 and 1966, the Indonesian military killed one million civilians and with praise and enthusiasm from the American government. It was an apocalyptic slaughter of leftists and accused leftists. As Bevins writes, this series of events was instrumental in shaping our global economic system as it exists today. As beneficiaries of US hegemony, it is important to recognize this gap in collective memory and the responsibilities we have.

On an unlocked Season 2, Episode 2 hosts Abdul Malik and Eytan Tobin interview @Julesboykoff and Gigi Droesch from @NOlympicsLA to talk about how to organize and resist the Olympics - an organization that is ultimately an exercise in settler colonialism and human displacement.

In fact, as the panel argues here, the Olympics are anathema to any ideas of the commons, and oppositional to the moral values of sport. Enjoy this timely interview, as the Tokyo Games kick off in a few weeks against the better judgment of everyone involved.
