Long Waves Radio Abuse of Power and Power of Abusers

The premise of this show was the privilege that comes with power, and the obliviousness of people with power to their own privilege. This show explored several differentials of power. Examples discussed included:

the difference in judicial treatment of General Petraeus and Ed Snowden,

the introduction in Canada of the Zero Tolerance for Barbaric Cultural Practices Act (Bill S-7) which is plainly aimed at Muslims,

the closure in Australia of indigenous communities that have “become too costly” to provide with services and a comparison to the money provided to mining firms in Oz,

the attitudes of many men in the US that women can be harassed and abused with impunity,

and the discrimination against LGBTQ persons in the US.
