“Freedom never comes for free, and as long as we keep fighting for it — in our own personal ways — that decreases the price we have to pay for it. Because if we stop doing that, we eventually lose it, and then getting back will be almost impossible or will require tremendous sacrifice.”—Maksym Eristavi on RadPod

Bette’s Sunday Speakeasy with Maksym Eristavi on Russian Colonialism 101 — Sunday, Nov. 17, 11 am Pacific/2 pm Eastern

I am thrilled to introduce our community to journalist and author Maksym Eristavi, who wrote Russian Colonialism 101. With America under occupation by foreign oligarchs, the book proves invaluable in understanding why solidarity is required to resist the culture of abuse that occurs in occupied nations.

If you are not yet a member, you can watch RadPod’s interview with Maksym below for free:

As Maksym told RadPod:

“In studying disinformation and imperial myths, one of the biggest myths that separates the free world and the empires is the focus on what one person can do. The empire always tells you that one person doesn’t matter… when in fact, when you look at Ukraine, and you see that unlikely Resistance against all odds, facing the bleakest prospects, has been going on for over three years, exactly just because of this extraordinary Resistance by ordinary people.”

I do not paywall my investigations at Bette Dangerous, so I am very grateful to those who support me with a paid membership, and to earn that honor, I bring in global guests weekly so we can better understand the various fronts we face in this time of constant gaslighting.
