REDACTED Culture Cast

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. Follow Justin:Twitter: @ControlledPairsInstagram: @controlled.pairsYouTube: Controlled Pairs GamingSupport 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

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

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. Find Flux Defense on Instagram at @flux_defenseKeep eyes on the new RaiderX at fluxdefense.comCheck out EDC TQ's at www.snakestaffsystems.comFollow their IG at @snakestaffsystemsSupport 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

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. For Gear: defensemechanisms.com // IG @defensemechanismsFor Training: defensiveelements.com // IG: @defensiveelementsSupport 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

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. Important distinctions:-Rights vs Community-Big Tent vs Tribes-Individual Choice vs Cultural NormsSupport the show at redactedculture.locals.comMerch Available at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactellc Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

Talk Back to MeFor a culture that is visually centered on the outdoors, it suffers many of the same blights that plague the greater social environment. Sometimes our solutions are distilled into phrases like "go out and touch grass." Social Media, and these people we call "Influencers" have played a role in Gun Culture for the best when they combine education with entertainment, which isn't exclusive to their position. We consider what it means for Americana going forward. For all the accusations leveled against American Gun Culture, in this episode we look at the similarities and differences between the U.S. and Australian approach to their citizens. Zach Stone's influence in Gun Culture exists of a brand owner who works within other brands. If you are interested in support the Channel, head to redactedculture.locals.comMerch Available at www.redactedllc.comAnd find 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 MeDecentralization is in the main stream, but rarely by that name. Whether it's a lack of faith in the federal government, or a reaction to what looks like crumbling complex systems, or a focus on local communities, to calls for National Divorce, we might wonder if the case for decentralization is purely evidenced by the failures of centralized power. Isaac Botkin joins us again to discuss what decentralization looks like on the ground floor, and what the limitations of the principle may be. T.Rex Arms continue to produce new products, which can be found at trex-arms.comFollow Isaac on Instagram at @isaactrexarmsSupport our channel at redactedculture.locals.comMerch available at redactedllc.comInstagram: @redactedllcSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

Talk Back to MeAn exploratory episode considering the concepts of Decentralization and its tension with Specialization, as applied to industry, societies, culture, teams, and the future we are looking to create. Movies, Games, and even contemporary politics have presented this idea that everyone has something to offer the team. In Lord of the Rings, we have the skills of Legolas, the wisdom of Gandalf, the expertise of Gimli, and the Leadership of Aragorn to constitute the Fellowship of the Ring. But does that translate to Gun Culture? This is a touchpoint of where we have examples from the Military, but that structure does not necessarily apply to Citizens, or might not be advantageous. So instead of presenting a direct series of principles outright, this episode seeks to explore the relationship between two potentially contrasting concepts: decentralization and specialization, and how we can think about it when it comes to Gun Culture and Americana as a whole. If you are interested in support the Channel, head to redactedculture.locals.comMerch Available at www.redactedllc.comAnd find 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 Me-Are you so uncompromising in your liberty to allow your enemy to be armed?A perpetual question when it comes to gun culture, where answers delivered too easy are suspect and the time spent considering this question is evidenced in the way it is delivered. Sometime simple, often not, it sets the tone for this conversation with Mike Majewski of Ferro Concepts and Open Source Defense. Once again we are beginning with distinctions, but this time it begins in the Classroom. When working as a teacher on the collegiate level, Mike Majewski worked to instill true Craftsmanship in the arts as technology, be it digital cameras or social media impacted the field. Open Source Defense can be found at www.opensourcedefense.org for those of us in Gun Culture who are less interested in the culture war. Mike's Instagram is @mem_projectsSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast a www.redactedculture.locals.comMerch Available at www.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
