REDACTED Culture Cast

Talk Back to MeIt is not enough that we hold on to our liberty with fingers stressed tight through dedication, while doubt troubles our minds to the values and virtues of our cause. It is not enough that we merely hold onto the means of our liberty, while casting aspersions on the reasons why we hold these truths to be self evident.In is book " Brave New War," John Robb argues that, in some sense, decentralization is inevitable when it comes to the nation-state. Fragile, slow, and bureaucratic centralized authorities are too slow to face threats informed by open source warfare and decentralized movements. Since the book was published, we've seen this play out in real time, with the "summer of love" and following changes in the socio-political landscape. But from our perspective, instead of learning, the powers centralized in letter-agencies have chosen, instead, to pursue more invasive forms of control in conjunction with increasing use of social pressure to achieve compliance. But if Robb's assessment proves correct, they are losing, and the evidence is in the people. Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllcSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

Talk Back to MePart 2 with Vlad Saye picks up where we left off on the topic of Software Defined Radio. This time we dive deeper into various pieces of equipment and their capabilities, as well as different use cases. When it comes to decentralization, guns, and technology, we are beset with the question of not only what are the capabilities, but how they could be socially implemented, all built on the foundation of why this might be a goal worth pursuing, knowing fully well that every decision in one direction will come at the opportunity cost of others. Follow Vlad Saye on Instagram at: @vladsaye and Terminal Armament at @terminal_armament.For more that he offers: terminalarmament.comSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllcSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

Talk Back to MeIn Part 1 of our conversation with Vlad Saye of Terminal Armament, the converstation begins with how he entered into American Gun Culture with a desire to bring something valuable to the table. A tone begins in this first part, about how the tech milieu may have one set of means to securing their privacy and freedom, but are otherwise incapable of defending it, with Gun Culture often exhibiting the inverse: the physical means, but not the technological ones. Privacy or Freedom if you chose one or the other, but thankfully we are not forced to chose between the two. Follow Vlad Saye on Instagram at: @vladsaye and Terminal Armament at @terminal_armament.For more that he offers: terminalarmament.comSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllcSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

Talk Back to MeThe term Gaslighting has risen to prominence in the past few years, and before it completely fades into the mist of recently overused terms, we're going to address the use of it as a tactic to hijack the conscience of the accused. One mission of REDACTED is to contribute to the cultural and intellectual foundation that informs our Right to Bear Arms. Politics, as it stands, exhausts the concerned, quickly burning out any optimism for morals to succeed in the face of various forms of corruption. In this example, Gun Owners are typically gaslit with accusations that their choice to take up responsibility for their community is equivalent to justify holding them morally responsible for the actions of complete strangers. Gun Culture has an abundance of the physical materials to defend themselves, so we chose to add to their intellectual concerns. Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllcSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

Talk Back to MeThe REDACTED Culture Cast is dedicated to two principles: Honest Philosophy, and the Rights to Self Defense and Privacy.Never before has it been easier to build a personal library, and in the same vein, the determining factor over what should or should not be admitted into your personal library hinges more on the ability to evaluate information, instead of simply one's access to it. But with that change, how do we consider the action of building out a library? How do we go about choosing what topics, authors, or styles to focus on?In this episode we cover a some of the factors to consider when building your personal library, including cataloging, note taking, and categorizing your shelves. Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllcSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

Talk Back to MeInstead of merely documenting the rise of Insurgency across the world, in this episode we draw out both how and why insurgency came to become so prevalent in the world. Two trajectories can be drawn from the end of the 19th Century, as the presence of unified and integrated belief systems declined, and war began industrializing. One intersection arrives in the form of insurgency, where war on a National scale is held back by the threat of mutually assured destruction, meanwhile, populations continue to feel less and less connected to their country, and a sense of meaning. Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllcSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

Talk Back to MeWe left off just halfway through the conversation on Women in Gun Culture, and resume by addressing what might be the other extreme of the spectrum. While we addressed the intent and premises that we approached this talk in the first half, the second addresses what it looks like to "have a seat at the table."But wait, there's more. Having a monopoly on violence, in its base form, is antithetical to our human rights. Not only antithetical in the sense that, if it were the case, it would be wrong, but another layer deeper when we say that a human right is one that cannot be deleted, only infringed. Enjoy the second half of Paigeosity's first appearance on the REDACTED Culture Cast. Follow Paige in Instagram at @paigeosity Find her work at shop.paigeosity.comSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllcSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

Talk Back to MeBefore we get into even talking about Women in Gun Culture, we have to lay down the premises that frame the conversation. The word "representation" is so abused that it must be either cured or discarded. Paige aka Paigeosity has found a place within Gun Culture, and brings the problems with multiculturalism to the conversation. Defining terms, we start by breaking down presumptive arguments that attempt to inject truth statements in the form of an assumption, without directly signaling the intent. In some cases, the argument is the distraction, and in part one, we start by unravelling what one looks like. So when it comes to the conversation about Women in Gun Culture, what do we do? From Gun Bunnies to Annie Oakleys, it turns out that the conflict isn't coming from within, but without. Stick around for Part 2.

Talk Back to MeA common theme repeated when regarding the advancement of technology arrives in the phrase from Jurassic Park: "Our scientists were so preoccupied with whether they could, they didn’t stop to think if they should." Yet outside of the metaphorical Silicon Valley, with the rise of AI, and the advancement of technology as a tool for surveillance, the conversation is evolving to reconsider the Rights of the Individual. Whether bitcoin could function as the antidote to centralized banking, or if encrypted communications are a threat to the nation state, part of considering technology is what is could do, and another is what it should do.

Talk Back to MeAbused by culture, the term Philosophy suffers when applied to things that are anything but. Author C.B Robertson joins the show to talk about the metaphysical claims made by stoicism, some philosophical considerations when it comes to guns, agency, and we discuss popular books that may or may not be worth reading. Honor Culture, Dignity Culture, and more, as bad as a marketing pitch it may sound like, this episode is more worth listening to than describing. C. B.
