225: Gear vs Skill Issue

REDACTED Culture Cast ·

2024/07/22

Can one solve a skill issue with better gear? A Stepping stone to maturity in Gun Culture, this topic may come across as both eye rolling and attention gathering. On the one hand, a better ruck sack will not get you up the mountain. On the other hand, it sure helps. Parachutes, plates, and powder all come into play as we consider how and when we look at gear and when it's simply a matter of skill. In this video, we dive deep into the age-old debate: Does top-tier gear really make the differen...

224: How Conspiracy Theories Harm You

REDACTED Culture Cast ·

2024/07/18

People don't believe in conspiracy theories because they find them rationally compelling. Rather, these ideas hijack an individual's need for a sense of purpose and belonging. They prey on our desire for the world to be thus regular and make sense. However, the consequences of a conspiracy theory tend to be more personal than what the media would like you to believe, or, perhaps more importantly, what they might believe themselves. And what is the Straw Lord Fallacy you might ask? This episod...

223: Women In Combat // Quotas Hurt The Whole Team

REDACTED Culture Cast ·

2024/07/17

Should Women serve in combat roles in the military? The recent attempt on President Trump's life brings up the old debate about women in the military and women in combat roles. Framing tends to drive this conversation, and we continually get bogged down in redundant questions. Can women do the job? Are women capable of the achieving the standards? What about the non-physical elements of a protective detail? Do we define the whole by only the deviations from the norm? Or, is this whole debate ...

From Private Military Contractors to Mall Cops, the field of security is full of misconceptions, egos, and opportunities to find yourself hung out to dry for other's safety. But when we look behind the curtain into what goes in to threat prevention, we see a much deeper picture. Rob Rawson of Rozin Security joins the show to teach us about the ideas behind effective security, from red teaming, to security breaches, to threat detection and deterrence. Whether on the level of the nation state, ...

221: Why Didn't Guns Come Up in the Debate?

REDACTED Culture Cast ·

2024/07/01

The recent debate between Donald Trump and Joe Biden covered a series of topics both relevant and otherwise to the American People. Among them included abortion, the economy, and illegal migration. What didn't come up, was Gun Control. And the silence spoke volumes as this divisive topic wouldn't have helped either candidate appear reasonable or knowledgeable on the subject. In this episode I speculate as to why Guns were absent from the debate, and move into how our rhetoric has been capture...

If owning and becoming proficient with a firearm continues the Second Amendment, owning and becoming proficient with radios may just be securing the First. Jake Knight of Gridbase.net reports on his first off-grid radio course and presents an argument that radios and their extension: mesh networks, strengthen our independence through the ability to speak freely to one another. In addition to selling your data, large comms companies, and chat platforms regularly throttle our ability to speak t...

You do not have control over the circumstances that surround you. However, you may have a moral obligation to how you live through them. Which are you? Born too late to explore the world, or born too early to explore the stars?Which are you? One who sees your generation as the one who squandered their potential, or the generation that has to pay for the sins of their fathers and Grandfathers. You may think that the philosophy illustrated in this episode aligns with the ancient stoics, and you...

2024/06/19

The Secular Age can be marked as one where mechanism of belief commonly assumed considers religion one option amongst many. We may find a sense of freedom in not being bound politically or nationally to a Religion, but the cost reduces the legitimacy of a belief to authenticity and thus, merely a fashion statement. What you believe about right and wrong is simply a matter of taste. But we may be observing the end of the secular age, where this form of secularism along with its liberty and mea...

2024/06/14

Many of us grew up in a world where to join the military meant to serve our country. Baked into that ideological pie was a hierarchy where, the more special your operations, the more value you might have, at least on social media. Cameron Fath tells about how he joined the Ranger Regiment, what it was like to enter and then leave that arena, and where he has been since, whether it be helping homeless veterans or building a Netflix Documentary: Toughest Forces on Earth.

216: Why Men Go Off To War

REDACTED Culture Cast ·

2024/06/13

Why do men go off to war?Is it for Glory? Honor? The GI Bill? The war/violence/conflict in Ukraine illustrates how some men go to war, regardless of the big picture. While pundits and politicians opine about how America's influence, military support, and participation in Eastern Europe paints a picture of the next forever war, individuals travel to the front lines for something other than fame or money. Imagine sweating in Basic Training in 2008. Your family is in economic shambles. Half the ...

2024/06/10

Even during the 2020 Black Lives Matter Summer of Love, news agencies hesitated to report on the destruction taking place in Minnesota. Few poeple outside of Minneapolis know that the rioting continued well into 2021, and few people who live there are willing to admit it. To this day, the city of Minneapolis suffers the consequences of what took place and what followed soon after. Despite the warning signs of civil unrest and rising crime, we've only observed worsening conditions. Elections h...

214: How Might Makes Right and When it Doesn't

REDACTED Culture Cast ·

2024/06/05

Might Makes Right. No Truth but Power.History is written by the Victor.These phrases often say one thing, but try to communicate another. When we casually say that might makes right, we aren't typically saying that morality comes from greater strength. When it comes to disputes, it often sounds like a shortcut to some form of solution, or a criticism of inaction. But what if we were to look at the statement as an argument itself. What if we were to zoom in to a dispute between two people or a...

213: How to Start or ReStart training in Self Defense

REDACTED Culture Cast ·

2024/06/03

When it comes to gear, play the long game. When it comes to training, get what you can, when you can get it. When it comes to practice, it's better to start with what you have, than wait for the perfect opportunity. Gear, Training, and Practice are three sore subjects when it comes to gun culture. How is this the case for a community that is centered on the use of firearms as a potential tool for self defense? All three quickly become a point of friction between differing opinions and the ego...

2024/05/31

The difference between what can be called the Gun Culture, the Industry, and those in support of the Second Amendment isn't a single overlapping circle of a Venn Diagram. Instead, we have disparate groups of Gun Culture, a market space of the Firearm Industry, and the broadest term of 2nd Amendment Supporters. Peter Ildefonsa brings all of this to the table in a grand conversation on the differences and similarities and overlaps between the three.Follow Peter Ildefonsa on Instagram at @peteri...

211: Why We Train for Both Proportionality and Utility

REDACTED Culture Cast ·

2024/05/28

In violence, as in war, two concept stand in tension with one another: proportionality and utility. McMahan identifies one understanding of proportionality as "a constraint on action that causes harm." (Killing in War Pg 19). Utility, on the other hand, often functions as the context for informing one part of strategy, tactics, and techniques. We prioritize actions of these sorts that produce the desired outcome.As such, the tension that exists between them is that they both must be accomplis...

Self Defense isn't what it used to be. Jiu jitsu has become mainstream. But what if you were to discover that no-gi training wasn't as realistic as you wished? Ruben Alverez traces a tale of growing up in the world of Jiu Jitsu, only to discover it wasn't all that he needed. ECQC or Extreme Close Quarters Concepts takes the idea of a violent encounter to a more personal level. It's no longer about how fast your concealed draw time is. Rather, Ruben illustrates how a lethal weapon changes the ...

2024/05/22

What if the true LARP is the assumption that we can be credited as being part of the community without participation? When the term LARP (Live Action Role Playing) is used as an epitaph, it accuses the target of living in a fantasy. With analysis, we look at what it is that is considered dishonorable about so-called LARP-ing. What we find out is that many of us may be LARPing even if we're not running around in the woods in full kit with the boys. And it begs out another question: what would ...

Rudyard Kipling's poem "If" often finds home on the wall and in the minds of great men. It leads the reader through a series of character traits that make a man, opening with the line "If you can keep your head when all about you Are losing theirs and blaming it on you, If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you, But make allowance for their doubting too; "Throughout history, mankind has asked what it is that makes a man truly a ma...

2024/05/13

There's more to being a warfighter than shooting. On the US Army webpage it is stated that the Ranger Battalions encompass the "Big 5 Philosophy" of Marksmanship, Physical Training, Medical Training, Small-Unit Tactics, and Mobility. Breaking down each of these, we look at what they might entail. In order to put to rest the cultural conversation in modern gun culture which pits one discipline of shooting against a profession, in this episode we walk through what the big 5 entails, and what mi...

REDACTED Culture Cast ·

2024/05/05

The George Floyd Riots were a strange time. On the ground, the narrative level politics fell to the wayside. Information Warfare was not about which political party was effectively harnessing the energy of the street, but about if their house was going to be looted or burned down in the next few hours. We live in the post information age, were it's no longer about access to information that is bottlenecked by the limitations of the printing press, publishing houses, and newspapers, but our ab...
