Listen "Houston, We Have a Problem...."
Episode Synopsis
After a long hiatus, Hani and Shawn return to confront the empty critiques and political nihilism surrounding the recent wave of Palestine solidarity protests. The duo discusses a flurry of subjects like gaming, the US Presidential Candidates as the primary season kicks off (5:45), and Kanye West (9:30) before turning their focus to the model minority diaspora—especially the Houston Shia Muslim community (15:16)—whose silence, cynicism, or shallow takes reveal deeper patterns of depoliticization, complacency, and assimilation in the face of ongoing colonial violence in the Middle East.Become a Patron - patreon.com/dissentmanufactured Subscribe on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC-q-2tf86mznIDsunTJ8JEwWatch more episodes from Manufacturing Dissent at https://rss.com/podcasts/manufacturingdissent/#manufacturingdissent
