The Art and War Podcast

Returning to the show one last time, our good friend and former co-host, Coach Mitch, gets the send off he deserves. Nathan, B.R, Paige and Mitch discuss passing the torch, offer some closure on Mitch’s departure, the minor differences in opinion between 'Peaceful not Harmless' and Pacifism and how pacifist philosophy, parenting and finding his passion have changed his worldview. Nathan, B.R and Paige also talk shop with Mitch about Coaching a Semi-Pro Women’s Soccer team, talking shit to other Coaches, how having his daughter influenced him to push for better opportunities in that league, why there is much less ‘injury theater’ in women’s soccer compared to the men’s, jumping from coaching youth to professional adults, abusing the rules in the pre-season to make the game better in the long term and much more! On a personal note, we love Mitch dearly, we miss having him on the show and as a part of the CBRN team, but we are so proud of what he’s moved on to and to see him put time into his Coaching career, his family and living the good life.

Nathan, Lucas and B.R do a little bit of Koch teasing this week in the lead up to the episode 100 special! The lads get into everything from risky fungi to AI scriptwriting, B.R laments feeling like an old man and being left behind by Gun Z internet culture, their deep ‘dislike’ for sabotaging valuable city infrastructure like CCTV and parking meters, Lucas discusses new vague Irish hate crime laws that could imprison individuals for almost anything and citizens defending themselves from wrong address no knock raids. Also discussed is German gun manufacturer Heckler and Koch’s bizarre Twitter misstep stepping into the ‘woke’ advertising controversy of recent beer ads, B.R recalls past HK social media managers defense for arming the ATF and their absolute lack of any meaningful support for armed citizens as they grow fat and happy off of government contracts. Lucas gives the listeners an update on Fishtank Live, Nathan recounts meeting 'Airsoft Fatty' briefly and the lads discuss why 'RIP TED' was trending on Twitter.

Joining B.R and Nathan this week is Jacob, host of the Tasting Anarchy Podcast and the main organizer behind the Texas based liberty campout event: Chillderburg. Jacob and the lads talk about what Chillderburg is, the pop up Anarchist village now in it’s fifth year, how the event started off as a joke about drinking alone to counter-protest the illuminati Bilderberg gathering, networking and hanging with liberty minded people beyond the firearm space from all sorts of different backgrounds, Jacob talks about the events including the music and comedy show featuring Austin based comedians and the general atmosphere of the camp. The guys also get into the culture of homeschooled children at Chillderburg and how it's a great opportunity to talk to families doing it and see how great it's working out for their kids, the networking possible with freedom lovers of all different skillsets and the major white pill of seeing community build year after year. Also discussed is the topic of 'Intentional Communities', the long term goal of Chillderburg is to become a permanent township based upon shared liberty centric values, Jacob gets into the 're-small towning' of America as people flee the cities and become more self reliant and how he hopes to get ahead of that and B.R (jokingly) questions the cult status of Chillderburg goers. For all those interested in building real, freedom loving community, come hang with Nathan and B.R at Rebbeca Creek Campgrounds, Texas the 26th-29th of May Memorial Day Weekend and be sure to purchase camping tickets at Chillderburg.com!

This week, Rob from AK Operators Union join Nathan and guest host Reaper1.1 for a fantastic talk on all things long range, Kalashnikov and more! Rob shares growing up behind the Iron Curtain, the fall of the USSR, why all of the misery of those governments was absolutely ‘Real Communism and Socialism’ at work and his journey to the US and joining the US Army. Rob expands on his time in the army as an infantryman and then sniper, how nothing is handed to you in the military, the repetition of history where militaries fail over and over to maintain their knowledge and skills of utilizing snipers between conflicts and Rob gives the mother of all history lessons on the evolution of rifles utilized by snipers from the First World War through to the modern day. The lads also get into fanboyism over gun manufacturers, what makes a good AK, how Rob has improved the science behind his torture testing of firearms, why citizens should be practicing sniper and DMR roles to Fry Brains as well as bushcraft, the reality of irregular forces supply lines and plenty more!  Links mentioned in this episode:  Follow AK Operators Union on IG HERE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out our Patreon here to support what we do and get insider perks! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠                                                           Follow the lads on IG:     ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Nathan / Main Page: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/cbrnart/?hl=en ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠  B.R: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/br.the.anarch/?hl=en⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Paige: https://www.instagram.com/paigeosity/ Lucas: https://www.instagram.com/heartl1ne/ Check out our sponsors:                                            Use code: ARTANDWAR10 for $10 off an SMU Belt at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠AWSin.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out our returning sponsor, Fieldseats.com!⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out our link tree for the rest of our stuff!⁠
