Longtime listener (on Apple podcasts) but came here to comment. This is the most important episode you've ever done imo, and should be mandatory listening for anyone who considers themselves part of this community. Same attitude applies to much more outside of gun culture. Boomers resting on their laurels with an $800k house they bought in 1980 for $50k because they're set, meanwhile their children and grandchildren will rent for the rest of their lives. Just as one example.
I believe we are a generation at risk of resentment, or at least set up for it. The temptation to look at the failings of previous generations and see it as justification for evil hangs over our heads. Either by quitting, as if it is all doomed, or pawdy revolution, with no concern for the aftermath, we tell ourselves that wise men plant trees, but never pick up the spade.
Yep! The generation holding the throne think they are done building and have seemingly no concern for the future or legacy they will leave. We definitely are setup for resentment.
Oh yeah, unwillingness to relinquish the torch is the motto of the current and entire generation of throne holders, not wanting to deal with their mortality.
@@redactedllc Yes and no, we rarely see each other these days due to kids and work, etc. but logistics aside, that comment was really eye opening BUT since I am a conservative, ideas I don't agree with do not automatically mean I completely cut you out of my life. What is the point of cutting him out of my life rather than spending time with him and potentially changing his mind instead?
Relationships of that sort are tricky, as one morally ought not go on as if their actions have no consequences, nor be immediate and absolute in their scorn

@@redactedllc No doubt. Whenever I see my friends exhibiting 'blackpill' behavior it's called out immediately.
Now is our time to act, to build, to grow and be better.

That's quite a metal way of saying it.
A poignant video and topic. Thank you for putting this out there.
Lending me your ear and advice is welcome, thank you.
Interesting 🤔
but what will you do with it?
@@redactedllc TBH IDK 😅
I have a high school friend who has firearms and is now fine with any and all 2A control because he says openly I have mine.
is he still a friend?
