The Great Illusion

The Great Illusion

For those in power, control over the masses has and always be an illusion. At this point in our history, we are seeing the facade fade away as more people reject this control. During 2020, we saw both the left and right sides of the political spectrum take to the streets to voice their dissatisfaction with their governments. Now, with the most heated election behind us, we have already seen unprecedented action by the politically dissatisfied. Are we finally seeing the end of the great illusion or just a reinforcement of the status quo?

Principles or Preferences

Principles or Preferences

In the age of fear and bad information, it is no surprise to see so many abandon long-held principles for preferences. Even among anarchists, dividing lines are being drawn and people are being attacked. The latest explosion is over the Kenosha shooting and where you should stand on it. Believe the shooting was legit, you cannot be an anarchist according to popular opinion. As insane as it was to watch the mask debate, this one seems to be even crazier. Within a system that subscribes to no ruler or hierarchy, there are those among us that feel they alone define what it is to be an anarchist. Join Evelyn and Shawn as they discuss this trend.

Point of Dissent

Point of Dissent

Dissent, the rejection of the accepted position or state of affairs. With the turmoil in Minneapolis and the protests against the quarantines, are we seeing the end of American tolerance of the status quo? What forms of protest are accepted, if not all? Is there a such thing as a good cop? The questions, along with others will be answered and challenged in this episode. Join us for a lively discussion and an announcement about the future of the podcast.

Is Violence Inevitable?

Is Violence Inevitable?

 One of the primary components of the Freedom Movement philosophy is non-violence unless agressed upon. With a look at current events involving the build up of the chinese army in response to Hong Kong protests, the Epstein suicide and a Netflix documentary on an american 'cult' founded in the 80s, Evelyn and Shawn paint a picture that doesn't give them much hope of a peaceful solution. Why the change and how did the treatment of this cult lead to it? Only one way to find out, tune in and enjoy! -we are testing new audio software and there are two errors you will hear, we apologize for the errors and are working on fixing it on our end‐

Pandora's Box

Pandora's Box

What happens when you give the government the power to remove your rights? You get Pandora's Box and once opened the likelihood of being able to revoke that power is unlikely. We look at this concept within the events of this last week, namely the shootings in El Paso and Dayton. Instead of looking at the specifics of the shootings, Evelyn and Shawn instead take a look at what they feel is the greater threat...the threat to your ability to defend yourself. With some insight into why they feel events like this transpire and what to be on the look out for, this episode is sure to get you thinking.

If you don't like it, leave!

If you don't like it, leave!

Anarchists and Libertarians often hear this retort when arguing the validity of Government, usually when there are no arguments left to made. This week, President Trump tweeted out a similar sentiment, this time aimed at sitting democratic Congresswomen. Where does this sentiment come from? Is it mainly a tool of the conservative right, or does the liberal left employ similar tactics? What effect does this have on supporters and why should we be worried? All these answers and more in this episode, enjoy!

Faux Freedom

Faux Freedom

The concept of freedom in our country is one that most Americans feel they have a fair grasp of and take a great deal of pride in.  With the election year kicking off with the most recent DNC Debate featuring topics like healthcare, big business, immigration and higher education, we look into whether current and/or proposed government policy and regulation is really taking steps towards freedom and independence, or just faux-freedom and co-dependence. With conversation covering everything from local government ordinances on fireworks and animal control, all the way up to the sweeping campaign promises of free, free, free; we delve into exploring how free we are -- or are we?

The Politics of Sex

The Politics of Sex

From the #MeToo movement to Alyssa Milano's #sexstrike in response to recent abortion legislature, navigating the topics of women's rights, consent, and sexual education have never been more volatile. Shawn is joined by Evelyn and her sister Sophia as they discuss how the social identity of victim-hood often detracts from the good intentions of movements like #MeToo, and how they plan to prepare their children to grow up in the increasingly convoluted and complicated world of sex and freedom of choice.

Questions about the journey to Anarchy

Are You A Threat To Your Government?

Are You A Threat To Your Government?

Saudi Arabia beheads 37 people in one day, most of which only committed the crime of speaking out against their government. Venezuelans are taking to the streets, led by Juan Guaido, an outspoken member of the opposition. The Supreme Court declines to hear the first amendment case of Jamal Knox, a rapper that sung about the violent acts he would do to two policemen. When is a threat, a threat and are you considered one by your government?

Is Assange the traitor he is made out to be?

Julian Assange has facilitated some of the largest and most embarrassing leaks of secret information in modern history. The subjects of these leaks all seem to be saying the same thing, bring Assange to justice. But, the question we should be asking is why are we surprised to learn of the evil deeds the secrets contain?

Is Privilege Actually the Problem?

Whether it be racial or economic privilege, you can't seem to escape some topic devolving into one of these catchalls. Robert and I are joined again by Evelyn to discuss how much of an effect privilege can have. Is it to blame for all of these problems or is there something more?

Is forced vaccination ethical?

We have seen a rise in the debate about vaccinations, but seem to have lost sight of what the question should be. Should the government have the power to force anyone to put something into their bodies? No matter your side in this debate, join us for a lively discussion on a hot topic.
