Below is a curated list of websites, books, videos, and podcasts I recommend.
These resources should help a new person both get caught up quickly and become immersed into the dissident side of politics.
There is no particular ordering of these, nor are they ranked. It is also definitely not all-inclusive, as I am slowly building it up over time. This list solely indicates that I have found the content as insightful for a read or a listen at some point.
I’ll continue to update this list as I discover and think of more.
