This episode explores the profound connection between intimate violence—primarily in families —and its role in perpetuating violence in broader societal relations. Research reveals that such violence is not just a private matter but a fundamental aspect of domination systems, laying the groundwork for war, terrorism, and crime. By overlooking family and intimate violence we miss a crucial piece of the puzzle in understanding and dismantling systemic and intergenerational violence.
