REDACTED Culture Cast

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

Talk Back to MeThe Term "5th Generational Warfare" gets used more and more as our ability to evaluate information continues to degrade, institutionally and culturally. Often that intellectual degradation is seen as evidence of deliberate attempts to sabotage a society, but we ask the question, is that sufficient evidence? What are the other generations of warfare?How did we get here?What are the tactics and tools?What about a justified application of war?These questions and more serve as the topic of this episode of the REDACTED Culture Cast, and part of our mission to re-engage the intellect in how we understand conflict, violence, and Human Rights. Support the REDACTED Culture Cast on locals at https://redactedculture.locals.com/-be a part of the Operations. Merch is 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

Talk Back to MeFrom training and traveling around the world, to working towards self-sufficiency, Jack Potter brings a conversation to the table which straddles adventure and homesteading. Indicative of the shift in culture, his approach to being self-reliant differs from the self-isolating zeitgeist of the past. As the founder of Guerrilla Tactical, Jack Potter talks about how he sees the culture we are actively participating in and what that means to him. Guerrilla Tactical also represents a certain breed of the American Dream which starts in a Garage, not a Think Tank. While it's not his experience which validates his approach, it serves as context for what we are concerned about. Follow Guerrilla Tactical on Instagram at @guerrilla_tactical Check out their medical, EDC, gear as well as holsters at guerrilla-tactical.comIf you want to support the show, or be inducted into the Current Operation, we have started a SubscribeStar at www.subscribestar.com/redactedFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllcAnd check out our merch at www.redactedllc.comSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

Talk Back to MeIn this conversation with Fred of Counting Coup Tactical, we address how so much of Gun Culture has been using capability as a vector for evaluating the morality of the subject. This leads to a discussion on how the increased capabilities of both individuals and government has opened up new moral quandaries.  At what cost? At what cost do we maintain liberty or safety, and are they at odds? The capability of government organizations to collect data expands, it also leads to new question on who are of interest, and what that entails when it comes to a society which at least claims to value freedom. In the second half we look at what the long term goal of Gun Culture could be. Follow Fred on Instagram at @counting_coup_tacticalFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllcFind our merch at www.redactedllc.com Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

Talk Back to MeBuried in each explanation are a series of assumptions about the world we live in. For example, mystics of propaganda speak as if all of society's problems can be boiled down to someone with power, be it government or a microphone, manipulating an otherwise good-willed populous. The assumption buried within is the idea that there is a fundamental difference between the propagandist, and the population. A distinction is made at the metaphysical level, which is buried within the compelling argument that "the people" are too easily controlled by propaganda. While making an overt argument THAT propaganda has its effect on people, it imbeds a subtle implied argument HOW that happens. As a result, buried in a framework of the world we live in, the distinction between value and context is poorly plastered over. From this description we can see the relationship between the experience of professional warfighters and the values imbedded within Gun Culture. Support the Show through merch 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

Talk Back to MeDrawing a distinction between three terms often intermingled, we discuss what the difference between Education, Knowledge, and Wisdom looks like in Gun Culture with Collin Underdahl. Returning to the show for another conversation, the question also extends into how we think of the society we live in. Where does achievement fit in the mix? Experience?How do we evaluate our own choices and decisions going forward? We would encounter these concepts in gun culture, be it veteran status, courses taken, functioning as an instructor, or choosing a tool, how we think about these concepts will play out, and for the better when we consider them accurately. Follow Collin on Instagram at @collin_underdahlFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllcSupport the show through merch at www.redactedllc.com-more to followSupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc
