Originally hosted by the Organic Filaments Network, this conversation with Jordan from The Dugout traces the roots of political commitment and collective endurance. From environmental organizing post-2020 to lessons drawn from the Zapatistas, Rojava, and Black anarchist tradition, this dialogue is a deep dive into memory, infrastructure, and the emotional and strategic realities of building resistance.
Topics include: Gaza solidarity, tech in organizing, political alienation, labor as survival, the betrayal of electoral politics, and what it means to sustain community under siege. A reflection on rage, love, and clarity in the long war for liberation.
