Hot N Bothered: Cultivating Sustainable Resistance
This month’s episode is about Filipino American history and its relationship with environmental justice. We must understand that the United States has violently and consistently seized and controlled land in the Philippines for many years to benefit its empire. This continues today in the presence of military bases on Filipino land and the collusion of the US government working with Filipino dictatorial regimes to exploit the land and lives of those living in the Philippines. The implications of these international land struggles mean that for us living in the so-called United States, we are not separate from these struggles. In fact we are intrinsically tied to them. Our government sends millions of dollars in military funding to the Philippines every year. Our government is complicit in advancing severe human rights violations heralded by the dictatorial regimes in the Philippines. Imperialism runs deep y’all. We will discuss this later in the show in more detail, but chew on that.
