Bonus Sample: Armed Struggle
Podcast: ConspiritualityPublished On: Mon Feb 09 2026
Description: In the wake of ICE murders, some are calling for more protestors with guns, or at least to prepare to meet fire with fire. Julian examines the history of armed struggle in South Africa and Northern Ireland, as well as the arguments for nonviolent vs militant political movements. Is there a way back from the turning point at which people recruit their friends and families into neighborhood militias, learn to kill soldiers and civilians in the name of a cause, and construct chains of command that justify executing informants and collaborators from within? Does this actually work? And do we risk becoming the very monsters we are fighting in the process? Show Notes The Role of Violence in Nonviolent Struggles Learn more about your ad choices.
