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.
Dominican Gagá:
prohibition and resilience.

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.
