Awesome to hear this brother do his thing. Re: the psychology of colonialism in Puerto Rico, my colleague Cristalis Capielo has some research coming out that sheds some light on this.

Fuck yeah Michael. Thank you for this nice little surprise episode on this fine Thursday. I just got done listening to deconstructed and I was about to listen to one of my podcasts that I always say I’m gonna listen to and never do. This makes me think of the Hawaii occupation. Hey that would make a great episode too. I forget the guys name but an indigenous Hawaiian has been working on ending the Americans occupation of Hawaii and has met with several other world leaders. I learned a lot about it from that man but it was a while ago. Take care all.

Building on Joel's excellent suggestion! Two scholars (and Hawaiian sovereignty activists) worth looking into are Noelani Goodyear-Kaʻōpua and Kaleikoa Kaʻeo - the latter was arrested for choosing to speak English (despite Hawaiian being an official state language) at his court hearing for protesting the Mauna Kea telescope.

Great interview, except I'm not sure why he keeps beating the drum on the Jones Act. He's pushed some variation of falsehood on this law for years now. There are no "tariffs and fees" for ships going to Puerto Rico under the Jones Act. It's flat-out false. In fact most ships calling on Puerto Rico are foreign, not American, and there are no special rules for Puerto Rico vs the rest of the US, and there never were. <a href="https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=e5180bfb-e70b-492c-bf0b-7243e152ea4f" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://www.lexology.com/library/detail.aspx?g=e5180bfb-e70b-492c-bf0b-7243e152ea4f</a>
