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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
