Against The Mob

In this week's episode, Logan and Matt do a dive into the history of one of America's favorite institutions!

In this week's episode, Logan and Matt take a step back from current events to discuss the Political Compass! In this episode, they outline their own results, dive into where historical figures have ended up, but most importantly discuss the axis that has the most importance to us because we often focus on the wrong one.  Intro/Outro Music: Ataraxis by ATP Find Us - Instagram - Facebook - Twitter Sponsor: Public Hangings for Pedophiles Links: https://futureofworking.com/7-famous-authoritarian-leaders/ https://www.politicalcompass.org/crowdchart?Bush=6.0%2C4.0&Castro=-5.0%2C3.0&China=-2.0%2C5.0&Chomsky=-8.0%2C-10.0&Friedman=5.0%2C-3.0&Gandhi=-6.0%2C-3.0&Hitler=3.0%2C9.0&Jefferson=2.0%2C-4.0&Johnson=10.0%2C-2.0&Lenin=-10.0%2C3.0&Luxemburg=-10.0%2C-2.0&Mandela=-6.0%2C-5.0&Mao=-10.0%2C5.0&Marxism=-10.0%2C-6.0&Mugabe=-5.0%2C6.0&Obama=3.0%2C2.0&Pakistan=-3.0%2C2.0&Paul=9.0%2C-4.0&Pinochet=10.0%2C10.0&Proudhon=0.0%2C-10.0&Rand=10.0%2C-7.0&Reagan=8.0%2C7.0&Rothbard=9.0%2C-9.0&Rucker=-4.0%2C-10.0&Russia=1.0%2C4.0&Sanders=-5.0%2C0.0&Saudi=3.0%2C7.0&Stalin=-8.0%2C9.0&Stein=-3.0%2C-2.0&Trotsky=-10.0%2C0.0&Trump=6.0%2C6.0&Vietnam=-8.0%2C2.0&ec=1&name=Washington&soc=-2 https://8values.github.io/results.html?e=21.8&d=53.3&g=68.4&s=53.8 https://www.politicalcompass.org/analysis2?ec=5.13&soc=-5.03 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xgxJyVt2XzA https://www.britannica.com/story/were-the-nazis-socialists https://www.verywellmind.com/what-is-autocratic-leadership-2795314

In this week's episode, Logan and Matt sit down to discuss the cornerstone of all other freedoms and liberties, the right of resistance.

In this week's episode, Logan and Matt bring a relevant look and their perspective on the newest attempt to legalize marijuana and the war on drugs. They do a deep dive on the bill, highlight the sections that need to be talked about, and give their two cents on the whole thing. This is just one more example of government not giving you anything new, but simply restoring something they took from you 80 years ago. Millions of lives ruined, and billions of dollars later, the war on drugs is still going on, and the boys from ATM are here to point out ONCE AGAIN how government intrusion into your life isn't a good thing.  Intro/Outro Music: Ataraxis by ATP Find Us - Instagram - Facebook - Twitter Sponsor: Public Hangings for Pedophiles National Center for Missing and Exploited Children Links: https://www.govtrack.us/congress/bills/117/hr3617/text https://www.forbes.com/sites/willyakowicz/2022/04/01/us-house-of-representatives-pass-federal-cannabis-legalization-bill-more-act/?sh=48a4ab5566d7' https://www.veriheal.com/blog/william-randolph-hearst-anslingers-right-hand-in-cannabis-prohibition/ https://greendorphin.com/why-william-randolph-hearst-provided-the-platform-to-create-the-devastating-marijuana-prohibition/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7173675/

In this week's episode, Logan and Matt put themselves in the hot seat to weigh in on the transports debate - particularly trans-women competing against biological women. There's no win on this topic, so they wanted to throw out a few perspectives surrounding the topic, and explore the nuances that comes with it. They talk about the concepts of fairness, equity, equality, and how sports are inherently an unequal competition. They dive into sportsmanship, the consequences to women's sports and scholarship opportunities, the reality of the small numbers of occurrences, and much more.  Intro/Outro Music: Ataraxis by ATP Find Us - Instagram - Facebook - Twitter Sponsor: Public Hangings for Pedophiles Links: https://onlinepublichealth.gwu.edu/resources/equity-vs-equality/ https://nypost.com/2022/03/20/ncaa-swimmer-calls-for-rule-change-after-losing-to-lia-thomas/ https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/tennis/female-athlete-who-filed-lawsuit-speaks-reacts-after-federal-court-ruling-on-transgender-athletes/ar-BB1g5250 https://www.fox9.com/sports/title-ix-50th-anniversary-i-am https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lia_Thomas https://www.foxnews.com/media/lia-thomas-nbc-news-jackie-robinson

In this episode, Logan and Matt are joined by the one and only Flirtcheap of Instagram and substack.

In this audible of an episode, Logan and Matt sit down to discuss the concept of vigilantism and its effects on liberty. This wasn't a "clear conclusion" type of episode, more of an open ended discussion about the nuances of this subject and its relation to the NAP. Some situations are clearer than others, and some are really gray.  Links: https://www.debate.org/debates/Vigilantism-is-Justified-when-the-Government-Fails-to-Enforce-the-Law/1/ https://naacp.org/find-resources/history-explained/history-lynching-america https://lynchinginamerica.eji.org/report/ https://thehill.com/opinion/criminal-justice/583282-the-serious-and-growing-danger-of-vigilantism https://www.yesmagazine.org/social-justice/2020/08/28/american-history-vigilante-violence

Bringing in the new year, Logan and Matt are pumped to be back from the holiday break with a new episode! In this first launch of 2022, they discuss how national unity is dead, and they use COVID-19 and the January 6th "Insurrection" as two case studies to show how the country is divided, and how there might not be any reconciling these differences.
