When Resistance Is Called Madness

Sunday, 15 February 2026 9:34 PM [ Last Update: Sunday, 15 February 2026 9:34 PM ]

This episode explores the concept of rationality in the struggle against American hegemony and the Zionist project, asking a crucial question: should resistance confront fury with reason or with what the colonizer calls madness? Historically, colonial powers have portrayed revolutionaries as psychologically disturbed in order to depoliticize resistance and justify repression. By medicalizing rebellion, colonial discourse transforms political struggle into a pathology requiring containment or elimination. Yet the episode argues that true resistance requires both rational calculation and the courage to demand what seems impossible echoing the revolutionary spirit attributed to Ernesto Che Guevara. Between calculated realism and unwavering defiance lies a creative balance capable of turning todays storm into tomorrows victory.
