Bonus Episode 25 - Indigenous History as Parapolitics, or Parapolitics as Indigenous History?, feat. Laihall

Programmed to Chill

Today I'm joined by Laihall to discuss Indigenous history as parapolitics, or as Laihall pointed out, parapolitics is indigenous history. We talk about chaos magick, surrealism, and the theft of Indigenous artifacts, Terra Nullius, trading companies as massive corporate operations, and many other topics.

In particular, Laihall links Indigenous oppression to reasons grounded in capitalist expansion, and links this to the dark history of the Residential schools. Along the way, we discuss Indian metal and even talk skinhead oi. Finally, we discuss when Indian workers have led and fought together with other workers, and a potential path forward.

I made a donation to the Indian Residential School Survivors Society, and I encourage my listeners who can to do so here:
