What if the real danger isn’t left vs. right, but the illusion that either one is fighting for you?

I sat down again with Derrick Broze, investigative journalist, author, documentary filmmaker, public speaker, and Voluntaryist activist, to talk about why Trump's second term is unfolding exactly as we predicted a year ago, and why so many people who claim to value freedom are doubling down on the state anyway. Derrick has spent years building intentional communities in Mexico, organizing solution-focused events, and reporting on technocracy, surveillance, and the deeper currents shaping the so-called freedom movement.

Tune into this episode to hear the breakdown of the patterns playing out right now—from ICE raids and digital ID rollout to the influencer economy that keeps people reactive instead of sovereign. The question isn't whether you saw it coming or not… it's whether you're ready to build something else.
