Good show y'all. We covered a lot, had a lot of substance, and kept it under 2 hours. Looking forward to hearing how it sounds once Zero gets it uploaded.

this is the "tactical gun fetish" thing I was talking about

Tactical Reality | TPM Editors Blog

The “tactical” turn is what I want to flag here. It has what I take to be a very specific use-case, but it’s used - liberally - by gun owners outside of the military, outside of law enforcement, outside (if you’ll indulge me) of any conceivable reality-based community: these folks talk in terms of “tactical” weapons, “tactical” scenarios, “tactical applications,” and so on. It’s the lingua franca of gun shops, gun ranges, gun forums, and gun-oriented Youtube videos. (My god, you should see what’s out there on You Tube!) Which begs my question: in precisely which “tactical” scenarios do all of these lunatics imagine that they’re going to use their matte-black, suppressor-fitted, flashlight-ready tactical weapons? They tend to speak of the “tactical” as if it were a fait accompli; as a kind of apodeictic fact: as something that everyone - their customers, interlocutors, fellow forum members, or YouTube viewers - experiences on a regular basis, in everyday life. They tend to speak of the tactical as reality.

@VictorVonDoom did you come up with that epiphany about property rights being related to stealing land from natives randomly by yourself? that's brilliant. I kinda knew about that concept but it sounded like you just came up with it all of a sudden

Let me know if it doesn't show up on the sidebar in 15 minutes, I have to go find the code, I think I deleted it because it's been so long since I've done it. Hopefully it goes up auto. Anyhow, I'll be up for a few hours. Oh damn, you didn't put the music in the beginning.

Thanks. Yeah it did just pop in my head on the spot while TrueEpic was talking about property rights.
