The Exploding Head

"I think my head's about to explode" is what I say to myself when something too grotesque, absurd, horrible, or insanely hypocritical is happening - and I think it's how many of us feel when witnessing injustice. In my podcast, to deconstruct that feeling, I talk about interconnected systems of oppression. Militarism, imperialism, colonialism, and several other -isms are inevitably there. My political commentary has been about Palestine since the beginning and is mostly on Gaza these days. You can read more about my projects here: http://www.justinaposkeviciute.com/

Has The Ruling Class Decided for You What Your "Normal" Is?

Have you accepted the media silence surrounding a Fascist regime, a coloniser, keeping an entire population under siege?

Are you OK with a people being intentionally starved to death by a country that your country might be friends with?

Have you normalised seeing country leaders with arrest warrants for war crimes and crimes against humanity being treated just like any other politician?

Do you think it's acceptable for an entire people to be ethnically cleansed in front of our screens?

----

"This is what our ruling class has decided to be normal" wrote Aaron Bushnell before he lit himself on fire in front of the Israeli embassy.

Do you agree with what's been decided?

Do you accept it politely, just like 'good citizens' do in Fascist societies?

----

Israel is continuing its siege on Gaza.

Starvation as a weapon of war is being used again, all in the open, proudly announced.

Do you accept it?
