Description

“The path of least resistance is always to accept the distribution of power as it exists, to ratify and support it either by doing nothing or by lending one’s talents to the implementation of policies that are not questioned or challenged. The cost of this passivity will be borne by the victims of power—but they are far away, often of another colour and culture, and powerless to strike back at us."
– Noam Chomsky

Gasping for Air is an op-ed documented by Ionuț, audio version narrated by Usama, Jazz.
