E41 We're Being Used.

Understanding Kindness

In this episode, Dani discusses how Human Animals use Beings at their disposal and who we need to listen to in order to end the cycle of abuse.

They recommend reading "Braiding Sweetgrass: Indigenous Wisdom, Scientific Knowledge, and the Teachings of Plants" by Robin Wall Kimmerer and "An Indigenous Peoples' History of the United States" by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz for more information on Indigenous, sustainable way of Life and the true history of the so-called United States. She also recommends Indigenous Action and It's Going Down for articles that dive deep into the concepts that run our Lives and societies and interviews with individuals on the horrors of capitalism and settler-colonialism. They'd also recommend listening to the episode of Total Liberation titled, "Do You Know Where Your Taxes Are Going? Big Ag VS. Supply & Demand with Connie Spence" for more info on how the US government subsidizes big agriculture, making supply and demand obsolete.

Lastly, Dani recommends listening to the episode of Indigenous Action titled, "Abolishing the Non-Profit Industrial Complex" to hear for yourself how the NPIC co-opts mutual aid projects.
