187: Four Genomes of Gun Control Arguments

Talk Back to MeArguments back and forth over gun control often follow consistent strains that resemble genetic lines through time. A bad argument of the 60's is reborn as if it were a new idea in 2013, only to be killed off quickly, but be resurrected again less than 10 years later. What are these argumentative strains when it comes to Gun Control? In this episode, four different genomes of Gun Control are presented, as well as their philosophical strains.Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

188: James Lindsay on Woke Warfare

Talk Back to MeWhen it comes to conversation on 5th Generational Warfare, we often get bogged down in the discussion on defining the terms, so much so that we are exhausted before getting to the application. James Lindsay joins the REDACTED Culture Cast as a guest to discuss not simply the description of how "woke" is used in a war-like fashion,  but how to address it and what the rules of engagement may be. We discuss the differences between tactics, strategy, and theology, and how they interact with one another. How do you identify a dishonest interlocutor? What is the proper response to entryism?

186: No, There Isn't a War on Masculinity

Talk Back to MeLook at the literature of Christian writers on Masculinity, and you'll see a long lineage of writers putting black ink to white paper on the war waged on masculinity. Does it disregard the conflicts they face? No. But does the imagery and metaphor of warfare do itself justice? Is there a war on masculinity? Is it true, or, is Christian Masculinity being persecuted? What is the difference?Listen and find out. Go forth and conquer. Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

185: C.B. Robertson on New Academia, Moral Philosophy, and the Counter Enlightenment

Talk Back to MeJust because Academia suffers from internal decay and the death of its legitimacy, doesn't mean we ought abandon the tenants of it's development. C.B. Robertson returns as a guest to present an argument regarding the use of language and how it applies to reality. Accurately conveying ideas from one person to another must pass through the lens of individual subjectivity and it has consequences about what we know about reality. So we engage in the subject of subjectivity without the pretense of supremacy without the clause. C. B.

184: I Hope this Ages Poorly

Talk Back to MeSome arguments are like communism: you cannot completely stamp them out, and every once in a while and old dispute must rise to the surface only for us all to realize that it's something stupid we are debating.The comparison of competition shooting to tactical shooting is one of those subjects, full of passionate attempts at equivocating the two things and then claiming one to be the superior form of training. but this leads to a deeper, more impactful topic regarding Gun Culture. Perhaps we're not so demoralized because we're materialistic, but that we've been reduced to buying pouches as the only form of progress. Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

183: The Horns of the Dilemma with Christian Nationalism

Talk Back to MeWhat does Gun Control and Christian Nationalism have in common? Particularly, the rhetoric against them. While bad arguments of a similar fashion do not make a justification for either, they do help illustrate the way rhetoric functions. If not already, Christians should be prepared to face the horns of this dilemma: either chose to be condemned as a Christian Nationalist, or be gouged on the horn of an inevitably failed proposal, and be labeled as a hypocrite. We are called to be in the world, but not of it. In the same way, the right to self defense is not dependent on choosing the lesser of two evils. Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

182: J Drago on the Trivial and the Significant, AI, and Transhumanism

Talk Back to MeThere's plenty of buzz on the topics of such as AI and transhumanism when it comes to individual agency, questions about what it means to be human. However, such topics inevitably lead to ethical questions beyond if we can stretching deeper into whether we should. J Drago joins the show to talk about these subjects and more. At the heart of the Identity Crisis in the West wrestles a contradiction where we are pressured to identify with great moral maxims and rules to live by, while simultaneously treat them as trivial. Our morals are both the center of our identity and mere aesthetics depending on the situation. Flippant, and Faithful, as if those two were not in contrast.  Follow J Drago on Instagram at: @icepick_jaySupport the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

181: Preemtive Self Defense

Talk Back to MeThere is a strain that runs through current political ideology that divides mankind into two parts. Some call them oppressors and oppressed, others see it as fascists and anti-fascists, but at the core it is the dividing of the population into two different categories: those who will inevitably do evil by their nature, and those who are justified in using violence so long as it is used to prevent the other from doing evil. Technique, Skill, Tactic, Strategy, followed by Theology or Philosophy serves as a model for a progressive of abstraction from the individual to the objective when it comes to layers of choice. Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

179: The Anatomy of a Dictator

Talk Back to MeIn a recent clip, a speaker on MSNBC described Christian Nationalism as believing that Rights exclusively come from God, or at least, they are not granted by the State. Historically, the prevalence of this belief led to the persecution and even killing of Christians. When a State sees itself as the granter or generator of Rights, it cannot abide by citizens appealing to a higher power. Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.comSSP and boutique products at redactedllc.comFollow us on Instagram at @redactedllc

180: Nic Magjack3r on Training Before and After a Gunfight

Talk Back to MeThe idea of combat being some rite of proving is neither new, nor something to be trivialized. Dreams of glory, the horrors of war, cynicism towards honor, and a demystification as pseudo-enlightenment all appear in both literature and the stories we tell ourselves and each other. In this conversation with Nic Magjack3r, he tells the story of his first gunfight, beginning long before with the years of training, some institutionally provided, and much done of his own volition, as well as the "fallout" after surviving a shootout. In the conversation, we consider how he was perceived both before and after shots were fired at him, and how different professions and personalities reacted to that event.
