In this 60-minute raw chat, John traces his path: leaflet-dropping planes over rugby grounds, nationwide union blackouts, and decades of arrests fueling solidarity. He contrasts apartheid's societal schism with Gaza's global outrage—boycotts that broke SA vs. NZ's poll-driven fury clashing with government caution. John mourns the fade of bold, physical disruption in favor of online noise, looks at NZ's Palestine non-recognition amid Destiny Church's Israel zeal, and eyes the collective West's fraying grip. Episode Details:Duration: ~60 minutesRelease Date: Monday, October 27, 2025Guest: John Minto, Co-Chair, Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa Support the Launch:Subscribe for free on Substack at boganintel.com to get episodes and show notes, or go paid ($5/month). Listen on Spotify or Apple Podcasts. Watch the video version on our YouTube channel.
