Indigenous peoples have endured rampant assault, starvation and murder for hundreds of years, the fraction which survived are still enduring this paradigm, and the last 4 years are not single-handedly responsible for the injustices these peoples have been faced with, only for allowing business to go on as usual.

The perpetual uncertainty of life in this world is given meaning through poems, and for that we want to venerate our poets.

Once we advocate for Democratic principles, or any basic mode of co-existing on a planet with 8 billion people, we are bound to face situations where certain groups take their theories to a Dictatorial level.

Brazil, despite its unmatched connection to Africa, is utterly unequipped to care for the influx of African refugees, especially Muslim Nigerian women.

It is difficult to bring a critical eye to such a respected figure in the world of artistic, political and environmental activism. People are complex and therefore so are their artistic productions. I believe that Sebastião Salgado's work exists somewhere between the beneficial and the harmful.

Implementing a foreign principle on weapons policy can further exacerbate economic inequalities.

Agreeing to dangerous terms and conditions of applications which track movement and seek to predict future movements of people like you infringes upon freedoms of whole segments of the world population. But there are even more profound existential threats to migrants upon arrival in Europe.

It isn’t only in the public security sector that vestiges of the Military Dictatorship can be seen. For as long as capitalist values endure in society, so will the need for militarization—to carry out the extermination of an ‘unprofitable’ segment of the population.

If you're unwilling to have a conversation about the tragedy humankind has been submitted to, and the individuals and institutions responsible for it, don't show up.

The Rule of Law is not designed to be democratically improved upon, it’s designed to work according to the whims of those already in a position of power, and who have all the interest and resources to retain this power.

Few behavior changes necessary for handling climate change overlap the issue of poverty and carbon footprint so blatantly.

The issue of division of labor was discussed in print (and about print) throughout much of the 19th century, and is still a relevant discussion today. In removing the distinction between producing and authoring, we remove (to the best of our abilities) the capitalist division of labor.

Signatures as proof of personhood is an existential threat, both philosophically and materially, to those furthest away from the status of power, wealth and whiteness.

As a concept, ‘Natural Capital’ is contrary to what environmentalists have been trying to achieve for decades, and it is also contrary to the nature of capital. What is natural for capitalism is maximum profits, not minimum damage.

The terror and urgency of this global paradigm of democracy and the struggle for freedom is that it threatens the survival of vulnerable people.

Is the arrest of the men who tied another man down to beat him to death what Justice looks like?

Of the political strategies to combat deforestation at the local level, we must ask ourselves which is most effective and suitable for us as individuals — voting, lobbying or raising awareness.

How did indigenous people handle virus-drenched-mosquitoes?

Even though, to some, it feels like a decade has passed, 2021 is almost behind us. Gods and Radicals is not a news site, but staggering events around the globe have made it difficult to avoid incorporating this ‘genre’ into our writing. Before stepping into this new Gregorian calendar year, let’s revisit some of the events we felt the need to cover and consciously decide what lessons we hope to take with us into this next phase, and what we ought to leave behind.

It’s astounding how little the average citizen knows about nature and their local ecosystems. It has become easier for us to imagine a mosquito that is genetically engineered to be sterile, than to learn about which animals in our area are their natural predators.
