  • WHY TERFs LOVE WHITE SUPREMACY?- Capitalism, racism, and gender critical feminism

    While the political ties in the US and Europe are moving more and more to the right, it seems like so-called “Gender Critical Feminists”, aka Trans Exclusionary Radical Feminists T3RFs seem to feel comfortable with this reality.
    This episode is an analysis on why it seems like “Gender Critical Feminists” are so quick to work with the far right and white supremacists. This episode is not about the “biology of gender”, but in the same way I don’t need a PhD in astronomy to know that the earth is not flat, I don’t need to be a scientist with a PhD to know that trans women are women.
    In this episode we will discuss how and why non-white women’s bodies are often under extreme scrutiny, do Gender critical feminists care about white working-class women? And why. How the far-right and gender critical feminists are working together nowadays, and why white supremacists and TERFs seem to support each other.

  • PRIDE HAS A PRO-COLONIALISM PROBLEM

    Is Pride month in Sweden! Pride flags and rainbows can be seen everywhere,

    libraries, healthcare centres, businesses, etc. It is not for nothing that
    Sweden is ranked, year after year, as one of the most gay-friendly countries in
    the world. Stockholm Pride Parade, which will happen on Saturday 3rd of this
    year, is one of the biggest in the world, especially because everybody is
    welcomed.
    In this episode we talk about what it’s like to live in one of the most gay-friendly
    countries in the world as an immigrant, including reflecting on such privilege,
    countries where to be gay is illegal and how is that weaponized against
    non-white LGBTQ people, and why colonialism doesn’t help gay people from the global
    south.

  • VIKINGS AND WHITE SUPREMACY- Why are white supremacists obsessed with Vikings? Feat. Archeologist Professor Howard Williams

    Vikings are part of pop culture and have

    always fascinated people for decades, and this fascinations is still very present in Western society, showing in countless of people cosplaying as Vikings, history enthusiasts, metal and rock fans, etc. Unfortunately, a lot of white supremacists are obsessed with Vikings, and they see white supremacy and
    the universe of pre-Christianity Norse culture as indivisible from white supremacy.

    In this episode I will talk about Vikings in popular culture, Nordicism and the “Nordic Race”, what archeologists tell us about whether if Vikings had dreadlocks and face tattoos or not, recent history of white supremacy and Viking lore in Sweden and the rest of the world, and why

    are white supremacists obsessed with Vikings.

    Also, British Archeologist Professor Howard Williams will help us answer the question of why so many white supremacists appropriate Viking lore.

  • DEHUMANIZATION IN MOVIES- Colonialism, Racism, Orientalism, and the Film Industry

    Nowadays we might cringe when we see movies like

    “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, but people back then didn’t do so at all. On the
    contrary: the movie was, and it still is critically acclaimed and part of pop
    culture due to USA’s cultural hegemony over the world.

    In this video essay I talk about colonialism in the

    film industry, propaganda, dehumanization, how important is the film industry
    for political hegemony, how certain marginalized groups are dehumanized in the
    film industry and why, Orientalism and how the movie Dune uses Orientalist
    tropes, and what to do next.

  • BARBIE SNUBBING IS NOT A FEMINIST ISSUE- womanhood in the film industry.

    White feminism sets the agenda of the things we should

    care about that we should be outrage about, and I feel like the whole Barbie
    movie controversy is not the exception.

    What happened with the Barbie movie? Long story short,

    Greta Gerwig, the director of the Barbie movie, and Margot Robbie, the actress who plays Barbie, didn’t get an Oscar nomination.

    In this episode we answer the question: is Margo

    Robbie and Greta Gerwig not getting an Oscar nomination a feminist issue? What are real feminist issues? Who determines what are “real feminist issues”? womanhood in film, all into the global context of women rights.

  • LIBERALISM AND WHITE SUPREMACY- Why liberalism likes white supremacy?

    Is it the phrase that “Scratch a liberal and a fascist

    bleed” true? What is the real face of liberalism? I believe is fair to say that
    liberalism is full of good intentions, and it was the driving force behind a
    lot of positive changes in society, but are good intentions enough? Also, good
    intentions in relation with what? Good intentions that strengthen the status
    quo?

    In this episode we will discuss the connection between

    liberalism, white supremacy, colonialism, and imperialism.  Liberalism throughout history, what is
    liberalism, liberalism in Sweden, and in the world.

  • COBALT IS DESTROYING THE DR CONGO- History, colonialism, and green-washing

    To call what’s happening in the Democratic Republic of

    Congo one of the worst humanitarian crises in the past decades is an understatement. What’s happening in Congo it’s not only a consequence of colonialism, but also still colonialism and exploitation of the global south in its maximum expression.

    In this special episode we do a deep dive into de

    situation of the Democratic Republic of Congo. We talk about the history, from colonial times, King Leopold II Free Congo State, Belgian Congo, Patrice Lumumba, Mobutu, the Congo Wars, and DR Congo recent event.

    Also, about cobalt and all the mineral riches in the DR Congo, which are the mining companies that are directly responsible for the aggressive exploitation and human rights abuses, what are the brutal conditions in which people who work in the mines are under, and how green washing is making this situation much worse.

  • THE WHITEWASHING OF JESUS: a decolonial analysis

    When we think of Jesus the first thing that comes to mind is a tall,

    white man with blond hair and beard. Jesus is a stereotypical white Scandinavian man, But if Jesus comes from Bethlehem, why is he depicted like a white vegan Norwegian man who loves the outdoors?
    Was Jesus white? Where white Jesus comes from? And we will talk in more details
    about the historical process of the whitewashing of Jesus as a tool for colonialism and imperialism.
    While the Western world join the festivities this year, Bethlehem will not celebrate Christmas mourning the deaths in Gaza.
