Privilege: What Makes Us Change? Part 3


If we allow ourselves to integrate the experiences we’re having, how can that change where we think we are in the world?

And how is this political?

In the fourth part of my series on privilege, I take the liberty – and take my time, oh my – to tell you about my own privilege journey.

How the concept of privilege has changed throughout my life, what directions it took, what different regions have to do with it, and how it explains so much of what you’re hearing in all of my podcast episodes.

It explains so much that this episode could have been an introductory episode exactly a year ago when I started this podcast.

Either way, I hope you find it valuable, I hope it changes something in you, and I hope you stick around for more episodes, now that you know where they’re coming from.

This is an absolute must-watch: Jeremy Scahill, one of the few journalists who interviews and is trusted by various actors, including the Iranian government, talks to Samir Mohyeddin about the U.S.-Iranian negotiations and Israel’s “fragile ceasefires” in Gaza and Lebanon. It’s a conversation good for our brains and conscience.

When Words Become Both The Representation And The Represented

The simplest propaganda technique – blatant lies – might be all that Israel and its supporters have left in their toolbox. Yet words with no meaning is what our leaders, too, have been resorting to for years now, following Israel itself.
