066: What Constitutes a Man?
Talk Back to MeBetter Late than Never. This episode had to be written before it could be presented, particularly due to the nature of the material. You have heard that Governments have a Monopoly on Violence. We take a look at that premise, and the application of our conclusion to how we look at violence. Thesis: the Concept, or Axiom that men are created equal, or more specifically, on level playing field of metaphysical value, is not reflected in either nature or most of history, and must be grounded in theological truth.

065: Iain Harrison of RECOIL
Talk Back to MeMost of us were born into American Gun Culture, but for Iain Harrison, it took a little bit of sacrifice, to put it lightly. Iain Harrison is the lead editor of RECOIL Magazine, a long standing challenger to the hegemony of gun magazines. By the end of this conversation it is clear that this will be the first of the first 2 shows with Iain.Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comMerch Available at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactellcSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

064: Marcus Singletary of Cloaked Entry Co.
Talk Back to MeWhat is the difference between surreptitious and covert, and what does it have to do with Gun Culture? One thing we know about this 'community' of sorts, is that it'll never be satisfied when it comes to skillsets. If you can learn to shoot, you can learn to pick a lock, run a radio, and so forth. What begins with picking locks, leads to questions of privacy, digital penetration testing, and red teaming, as skillsets, and as thought experiments.

063: Intel as Entertainment, News as Information
Talk Back to MeMost of us have grown up with a healthy distrust for "the News," but are at risk for substituting it for something inherently more valuable, without utilizing it as such. Field: Epistemology.Terms: Intel, Information, News, Entertainment. While we are aware that the News primarily operates as a form of entertainment, Intel isn't necessarily used as useful information. By remedying this division, we are made better thinkers, actors, and Citizens. The Field of Epistemology can often come across as rude, especially when debating a cynic with a bent for dismissal. But despite it's timeless nature, it will be the antidote of Fifth Generation Warfare, if not a demarcation of those who survive it on top. If you can defeat an enemy without firing a shot, by either demoralizing him, or disrupting his ability to evaluate information, you have a distinct advantage over them, as you will be able to assess the playing field, while they are rendered incapable of understanding it.

062: Trung Nguyen of We Go Home
Talk Back to MeMission Dictates Tactics, Tactics Dictates Gear. This makes sense when the mission is right there before you, but what happens when it's harder to see properly? What happens when it's not a deployment staring you in the face, but a career, a life that you desire to consider worth living?With a background in military, and Law Enforcement, we discuss what having a mission looks like for a soldier, a police officer, and a citizen. This brings up the relationship between the police and the people, with advice for aspiring officers.

061: Justin aka Controlled Pairs Gaming
Talk Back to MeThe relationship between Gun Culture and video games is messy, but isn't ending any time soon. We know they're not the same thing, that skill in one does not translate to skill in another. Meanwhile, fiction imitates life as the most successful gun culture adjacent games have a present a modicum of "realism." Like in a healthy relationship, communication and consideration is needed. Justin, aka Controlled Pairs brings consideration to the table when it comes to Video Games and how Virtual Reality might serve as an asset to professionals and citizens alike. But this episode is about more than just Video Games. By the end, Family, Leadership, Training Plans, and Skillsets all end up on the table of discussion.

060: Civil War and Rumors of Wars
Talk Back to MeOpening: Matthew 24:6-8. You will hear of Wars and Rumors of Wars. The apocalypse doesn't come without it's allure. At risk of chasing the current zeitgeist, this solo production of the REDACTED Culture Cast approaches the topic of Civil War with a series of questions that lead to warnings. The topic of Civil War continues to be attractive in media, this production included, partly because of the urgency it brings, and also through the subjects reflection of the state of nations. This subject is further muddied by the rising interest in 5th Generation Warfare, another subject of mystery and intrigue. If true, who are the actors? If this is war, then what?Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comMerch Available at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactellcSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

059: Ben Griffith of Flux Defense and Snake Staff Systems
Talk Back to MeBen Griffith of Flux Defense joins the show to talk about both his process of development, and how they look at the firearm as a tool. While the Flux Defense Raider isn't the first time someone has tried to improve the capabilities of a pistol, it represents a combination of new manufacturing capabilities, as well as the use of interchangeable parts to turn an otherwise stock handgun into a very different tool. But this show isn't only about designing a new tool, as we discuss political homelessness, conflict in the 21st century, and some of the principles of Gun Culture.

058: Tim Marshall of Defense Mechanisms and Defensive Elements
Talk Back to MeThere is no excuse not to pursue some form of training. A point of contention within Gun Culture remains the idea that self defense could be made unreachable by pricing prerequisites, such as tools or legal "permission" well beyond what people could acquire. On the one hand, this is a first world problem, and on the other, it raises a great ethical question on the actions of governments, corporations, and the soft authoritarianism of acquiescence. Tim Marshall has his hands in both gear development through Defense Mechanisms, and through training with Defensive Elements.

057: Who is Allowed In Gun Culture
Talk Back to MeThe question of who is allowed in Gun Culture has once again risen to the surface, thanks to the actions of a few choice individuals. Before we are all accused once again of gatekeeping, we're going to take a look at the framework of the question and how it points out how we think about about principles, rights, and community.
