REDACTED Culture Cast

Talk Back to MeWhat is it that makes our enemies most dangerous? What about Special Operations? We quickly go to tools, infrastructure, and logistics. Or perhaps it is training? It is one thing to consider the future and its consequences. It is another, however, to forgo our duty of intellectual integrity by ignoring the potential consequences of our actions. But one layer deeper, is to hide behind consequences as a shoddy stand-in for moral action.

Talk Back to MeWhat happens when the joke becomes reality? When the inside mischief of collective humor goes the wrong way? We've examples in recent history, especially with topics as ethically and politically charged as firearms. From the plot to kidnap a governor that turns out to be instigated more by Federal agents than willing participants, to the boogaloo bois, who turned a meme into their reality with disastrous consequences for them, in the post-information age, terms like psy-op and glowie can go quickly go too far. So, how do we start sorting out fiction from reality? How do we combat potential attempts to fracture an group in search of community? What are the ethics involved?In addition to military service, Marcus Singletary and his wife run Covert Entry Co. teaching surreptitious entry methods.

Talk Back to MeIf the Gun Culture of the 1990's had a mythology to be described by the mainstream media, it would be centered around an approaching apocalypse. But for most historical mythologies, apocalypse referenced a conclusion of the knowable timeline. Jack Donovan has written extensively about masculinity and violence long before words like "manosphere" reached the internet. In this episode, we cover concepts like the Empire of Nothing as presented in Becoming a Barbarian, the relevance of the striker in myth in regards to violence, and rejecting the abdication of Morality to convenience.  Jack Donovan is the author of "The Way of Men," "Becoming a Barbarian," "A More Complete Beast," and "Fire in the Dark" as well as other titles. In these books he covers topics and theses such as "Violence is Golden," and defining masculinity across cultures.

Talk Back to MeWhy are our leaders setting us up for failure? Which ones are aware of the trap, and which ones are merely following the language of the crowd? As we continue to ask the question of When is Violence moral, if ever, we recognize that we are running on the edge of a razor between two devastating outcomes. Be it incarceration. failure, or damnation, we are not ignorant fools playing with fire, but something like Prometheus in the contemporary age, with the warning not going unnoticed. A Priori and A Posteriori are terms familiar to those who regularly engage with rigorous philosophy, and for good reason. Although primarily and epistemic question, the findings we conclude echo through what we believe about morality, responsibility, and violence. A Priori: Knowledge that is justified without empirical evidence/experience. A Posteriori: Knowledge that is justified by observation/evidence/experience. So, in this case, is there a reason why almost all of our examples for justifying being capable of violence based on the potential future of an attack?Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

Talk Back to MeThe proliferation of Suppressors across the broader reaches of what we call Gun Culture may serve as counter to the doom-sayers of the Second Amendment. While we observe and react to the continuous stream of infringements and proposals of such, as more and more people take interest in the availability and benefits of Suppressors, we see it grow more and more entrenched in normalcy. Jake Kunsky has lived on the other side of that veil we call the Gun Store, observing and participating in not only the development of physical products, but abstract concepts as well. His influence is visible, for those who know what to look for. JK Armament has recently brought two new suppressors to the table, to challenge the status-quo of shotguns and handguns commonly used for concealed carry.

Talk Back to MeIn this second half, the conversation continues on questions that haunt every man. Fables, expectations, and rites of passage, common motifs through history, men desire something to be demanded of them, something they can be worthy of. In addition, we take a look at some of the rules Gun Culture functions on, and challenge the norms.

Talk Back to MeMore than just Gun Culture is reeling from an atomized society. As a result, the term "community" rides from one circle to another, as something we're feeling the need for. Despite the ambiguous appearance, Finance and Maneuver built a beacon through technology that so many different people could circle the wagons around. What's the difference between a DM and running into your neighbor at the Grocery store? Is our nostalgia misplaced for a past that never really existed.

Talk Back to MeBetter to have it and not Need it, then to Need it and not Have it. This simple justification may work in a pinch, but in the long run it leaves us open to attack. The concept of justification goes deeper than circumstantial evidence when we consider morality. There must be more than conditions, imperatives must come from somewhere. By grounding our moral justification in a shallow condition as need, we set ourselves up for the destruction of our so-called rights. Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

Talk Back to MeMotivation, Meaning, and Purpose stand out in the 21st Century as missing from society. On the one hand, this may be the problem our era faces, and on the other, it appears to be timeless. As subjects that draw charlatans like flies, we try to navigate the difficulties of the subject with some delicacy, recognizing pitfalls along the way. If it were only so easy to come to a conclusion on Monday, and be satisfied for the remainder of one's life, we wouldn't be here. Instead, work must be done daily to pursue all three. One method of answering the question of purpose is to look at natural law: what is it that we were created for. A phenomena arises: it may be easier to give the answer to a crowd, than to one's self in the quiet moments in-between.

Talk Back to MeOne of the pleasures of engaging with Philosophy, is that it nearly requires one to read the old texts. There's a reason we so often go back to the Greeks, and it's not always that we understand them to be correct. Whether it's the good works that survive history because they are so good, or that the Iliad and the Odyssey provide such an excellent landscape to explore various moral arguments, we find the motivations of one protagonist to illuminate the difference between the why and the how of violence. Luke Brown brings a conversation that moves beyond the disappointment we may face when observing a Gun Culture that is less than what we want it to be, and with an attitude that encourages us all to do better.
