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.
good show

@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.
All right, I just upped it.
