SWGMIF is an educational podcast focused on giving you the language to understand the systems of oppression you live under and your role in perpetuating or dismantling them. In it, I highlight the various -isms of our society, like racism, sexism, and ableism, and compassionately urge you to think and act differently to create a more equitable world.

8. We’re All In This Together – There is No “Plan(et) B”
This episode addresses the other systems of oppression named in this series, tying them in with capitalism to show how it benefits the most privileged people in our society at the expense of the least privileged among us. It shows once again that the differences in socioeconomic status and quality of life don't just accidentally benefit white people and people with money. Everything is set up to help rich white people get richer at the expense of the people of the global majority. These billionaire's efforts to suck as much money out of the earth as they can disregards the sanctity of life, for both non-white people and the planet. A certain country's unchecked bombing of its neighbors is speeding up climate change, with disastrous results occurring more regularly and with bigger impacts. We're literally all in this together and need to see past the culture wars we're distracted with to fight for our collective liberation and the planet - we're all we have.
