The great, Pete Quinones returns for only his second non-Kevin Costner movie and we delve into some vintage James Woods and talk about “Salvador” directed by Oliver Stone.

Salvador was based on an autobiography of an American photojournalist played by James Woods who was on his uppers, he went to El Salvador with his best friend played by Jim Belushi.

We see what happens with an adventurous foreign policy that creates losers and villains on all sides.

Learned effective torture methods at the School of the Americas such as implanting kidney stones. Waterboarding with Coca-Cola Classic is the only known cure.

Pete recommended this one and will have plenty to say.

Google Description for the film

Salvador

Unable to find work in America because of his penchant for booze and drugs, photojournalist Richard Boyle (James Woods) heads to El Salvador with his DJ friend Doctor Rock (James Belushi) to see if he can get a gig covering the country’s ongoing civil war. Boyle decides it’s time to flee the country when the violence escalates to a level that even he is uncomfortable with, but his relationship with an El Salvadorian woman (Elpidia Carrillo) complicates matters.

Our Guest:

Our guest is Peter R. Quinones AKA “Mance Rayder” of the Free Man Beyond the Wall Podcast and the Libertarian Institute, among other projects.  The man is a force for liberty and we know we’ll have a great discussion.

Peter R. Quinones is managing editor of the Libertarian Institute and hosts the Free Man Beyond the Wall podcast. He released his first book, Freedom Through Memedom – The 31-day Guide to Waking Up to Liberty in November 2017. It reached #4 in the Libertarian Section on Amazon. He has spoken at Liberty Forum in Manchester, New Hampshire and is currently co-producing a documentary entitled, “The Monopoly on Violence,” which is scheduled for a 2020 release. It will feature the most prominent figures in libertarianism explaining how nation-states came into existence, the atrocities they commit and what a truly open libertarian society would look like.

You can support him directly so that he can increase the production of his podcast, writing, and documentaries at his web page: https://freemanbeyondthewall.com/goal/

Thank you for joining us on this episode of the Actual Anarchy Podcast!

The Actual Anarchy Podcast is all about Maximum Freedom.

Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective. If it’s voluntary, we’re cool with it. If it’s not, then it violated the Non-Aggression Principle and Property Rights – the core tenants of Libertarian Theory – and hence – human freedom.

We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking. Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter.

We also will highlight and discuss any themes or lessons from Austrian Economics that we can glean from the film.

The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film.

We publish new episodes on Sunday just in time for your Monday commute; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics).

For our show where we talk about movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective, we often watch them on our various devices via Netflix, Amazon Prime or on VUDU (which lets you redeem UV content as well). The VUDU one is nice because once it is in there, you know it will still be there a few months later:

ABOUT

Actual Anarchy, an anarchy unlike what the average idiot thinks it would be. Anarchy means no rulers, not no rules. The non-aggression principle and a respect of property rights are what makes it go.

We host a podcast where we take pop culture movies and showcase moments or scenes or themes throughout that are literally actual examples of anarchy.

Any place, around the world, there are always examples of Actual Anarchy all about you. Sometimes you just have to sit back and take a look. It’s easy once they’ve been pointed out a few times.

Actual Anarchy is real-world examples of anarchy in action.

Movies, Shows, Books, News, etc… we host all sorts of content on the site from a bevy of writers enthusiastic for one goal: human freedom

The post Episode 250 – Salvador (1:19:38) appeared first on Actual Anarchy.

Rachel Kennerly of Just Add Liberty and Cannabis Heals Me returns to the stone-age with us to discuss “The Croods” in what may be a glimpse of civilization’s future if we continue on the current trajectory.

An eccentric cave family named the Croods – consisting of Grug, Eep, Ugga, Thunk, Sandy, and Gran – survive several natural disasters, predatory animals and the common cold by sheltering inside a dark cave, merely surviving. Is such a life worth living? Eep is dissatisfied with the over-protective nature of her father Grug “protecting” her from everything. She’d rather a dangerous liberty than a temporarily calm “safety”.

Rachel is a lot of fun and we will have a great time discussing this with her.

We’re also proud to announce that our YouTube video for this episode now features actual video footage of the show, check it out here, and be sure to hit that subscribe button!

Google Description for the film

The Croods

Prehistoric family the Croods live in a particularly dangerous moment in time. Patriarch Grug (Nicolas Cage), his mate, Ugga (Catherine Keener), teenage daughter Eep (Emma Stone), son Thunk (Clark Duke) and feisty Gran (Cloris Leachman) gather food by day and huddle together in a cave at night. When a more evolved caveman named Guy (Ryan Reynolds) arrives on the scene, Grug is distrustful, but it soon becomes apparent that Guy is correct about the impending destruction of their world.

Prefer a Dangerous Liberty to a Peaceful Servitude

“I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery” is a translation of a Latin phrase that Thomas Jefferson used: “Malo periculosam, libertatem quam quietam servitutem.” It has also been translated as, “I prefer the tumult of liberty to the quiet of servitude.”

The Most Dangerous Superstition:

John Lennon quote “flick your face”

“”Now we just reckon that when it gets down to ‘having to use violence’ then you’re playing the system’s game. The establishment irritate you – pull your beard and flick your face – to make you fight. Because once they’ve got you violent, then they know how to handle you. The only thing they don’t know how to handle is non-violence and humour. But the thing they sure as hell know: how to handle you if you’re violent. Because they’ll irritate you and knock you and do this to you and keep doing that, until they make you fight. And then they know how to fight you. But if you fall for that, then you’ve lost.””

“The discovery of the glacier mummy „Ötzi“ in the Ötztal Alps was considered a sensational find for shoe history. Ötzi serves as proof that humans possessed knowledge of sophisticated shoe construction 5,000 years ago.”

The post Episode 249 – The Croods (1:26:13) appeared first on Actual Anarchy.

The rebel-proud gentleman talks about the September 18 reinterment of Nathan Bedford Forrest and his wife Mary Ann Montgomery Forrest, an event being held at Elm Springs, SCV General Headquarters in Columbia, Tennessee. Andrews also myth-busts some Forrest history, both antebellum and postbellum, and tells us a little bit about himself as a former educator and military man, as well as his longtime defense of the Southern cause, which is still the same cause of all right-thinking people today … whether they know it or not.

“I loved the old government in 1861. I loved the old Constitution yet. I think it is the best government in the world, if administered as it was before the war. I do not hate it; I am opposing now only the radical revolutionists who are trying to destroy it. I believe that party to be composed, as I know it is in Tennessee, of the worst men on Gods earth – men who would not hesitate at no crime, and who have only one object in view: to enrich themselves.” — Nathan Bedford Forrest

A few related links:

• SCV.org to register for the Forrest reinterment (deadline August 31)
• “Bust Hell Wide Open: The Life of Nathan Bedford Forrest” by Samuel W. Mitcham, Jr.
• A fairly balanced Tennessean article on Andrews published just days after the 2017 Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, which Andrews attended
• My critique of the US military and its mistreatment of Southerners, “You don’t want us? We don’t want you!” and my interview with The Political Cesspool radio host and native Tennessean James Edwards in which he too discusses the brilliance of Forrest. In fact, it was Edwards who suggested Andrews as a possible guest for the DM podcast. So, thanks, James!

Confessions of a Dangerous Mind

Game show television producer Chuck Barris (Sam Rockwell) is at the height of his career. His creation, “The Dating Game,” is one of the network’s top shows and he has just been given the post of hosting his latest brainchild, “The Gong Show.” But what the public and industry big-wigs are unaware of is that Chuck Barris, game show pioneer, is also a covert assassin. He works for the C.I.A. and claims to have killed 33 people.

Thank you for joining us on this episode of the Actual Anarchy Podcast!

The Actual Anarchy Podcast is all about Maximum Freedom.

Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective. If it’s voluntary, we’re cool with it. If it’s not, then it violated the Non-Aggression Principle and Property Rights – the core tenants of Libertarian Theory – and hence – human freedom.

We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking. Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter.

We also will highlight and discuss any themes or lessons from Austrian Economics that we can glean from the film.

The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film.

We publish new episodes on Sunday just in time for your Monday commute; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics).

For our show where we talk about movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective, we often watch them on our various devices via Netflix, Amazon Prime or on VUDU (which lets you redeem UV content as well). The VUDU one is nice because once it is in there, you know it will still be there a few months later:

ABOUT

We host a podcast where we take pop culture movies and showcase moments or scenes or themes throughout that are literally actual examples of anarchy.

Any place, around the world, there are always examples of Actual Anarchy all about you. Sometimes you just have to sit back and take a look. It’s easy once they’ve been pointed out a few times.

American History X

Living a life marked by violence and racism, neo-Nazi Derek Vinyard (Edward Norton) finally goes to prison after killing two black youths who tried to steal his car. Upon his release, Derek vows to change his ways; he hopes to prevent his younger brother, Danny (Edward Furlong), who idolizes Derek, from following in his footsteps. As he struggles with his own deeply ingrained prejudices and watches their mother grow sicker, Derek wonders if his family can overcome a lifetime of hate.

Dr. Dennis Foster comes on to discuss another film that was re-made with a terrible reboot attempt in Paul Verhoeven’s “Total Recall” starring Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Action star extraordinaire Arnold Schwarzenegger starts as working stiff Douglas Quaid who is haunted by dreams of Mars and discovers, after getting a memory implant, he might actually be a secret agent.

Total Recall

Douglas Quaid (Arnold Schwarzenegger) is a bored construction worker in the year 2084 who dreams of visiting the colonized Mars. He visits “Rekall,” a company that plants false memories into people’s brains, in order to experience the thrill of Mars without having to travel there. But something goes wrong during the procedure; Quaid discovers that his entire life is actually a false memory and that the people who implanted it in his head now want him dead.

“a concrete worm”

Electric Dreams (2017 TV series)
S1E6 – Safe and Sound
In a near-future dystopia, the United States is divided between high-tech, hysterically paranoid “safe” cities and “bubble” communities where invasive technologies are rejected. A “bubble” representative moves with her daughter for a year of negotiations and life in the big city. While the mother tries to negotiate better treatment of the bubbles, her daughter struggles to adapt to school life, its social oddities, and the pervasive technologies around her.

The post Episode 246 – Total Recall (1:17:04) appeared first on Actual Anarchy.

“New South and Old South: Flannery O’Connor and the Healing of the Schism in the Southern Soul”
By Walt Garlington

The South has been at odds with herself since the end of The War. The old ways of a quiet Christian life with one’s kindred on the farm have been replaced more and more by the ever-changing life of modernity: fast-paced, uprooted, dominated by skepticism of traditional Christianity and yet firm faith in science. Miss Flannery O’Connor, one of Dixie’s great writers, has much to say about this in her short story, “The Life You Save May Be Your Own” (The American Tradition in Literature).

The main symbol she uses is the character of Tom Shiftlet. One may see in him a picture of the after-War South, drifting toward Modernity: He is called “a tramp,” that is, one who has left his home, a wanderer. His very name suggests one whose life is unsettled. Furthermore, his left arm is maimed, suggestive of the grave, a collective wound inflicted on the South during the War.

“He seemed to be a young man but he had a look of composed dissatisfaction as if he understood life thoroughly.” Recalling Richard Weaver’s statement that the South “is the most educated” section in the Union because of her experiences in the War (“The Southern Tradition,” The Southern Essays of Richard M. Weaver), here is yet another token of Shiftlet as a symbol of the post-War South.

Looking at the story itself, as it opens, it is evening, and “the sun … appeared to be balancing itself on the peak of a small mountain.” The South after the War was given a choice: to continue the straight path, faithful to her forefathers and their inheritance, or to forsake this narrow way for the broad road of destruction, the way of the Northmen and their materialist American Dream. When Shiftlet turns toward the sunset and lifts up his arms so that “his figure formed a crooked cross,” we are given a glimpse of which path the South was to choose.

Ms. Lucynell Crater, the old woman whose house Shiftlet comes upon, together with her land and belongings and daughter, is an icon of the Old South. ” … [S]he had a man’s gray hat pulled down low over her head,” suggesting the grey of a Confederate uniform. She is unreconstructed. Her name, Crater, like Shiftlet, brings to mind an image, this time of a cataclysm that had left nothing of the time before its happening whole and unbroken.

It is also of great significance that the old woman’s daughter shares the same name as herself – Lucynell Crater. For the old woman represents the inheritance of the South as it was manifested before and during the War: plantations, chivalry, hierarchy, evangelical Christianity, and so on. Her daughter is the essence of the Southern tradition in seed form, the potentiality of the flourishing of the Southern life in new forms in days to come. She is thus portrayed by Miss O’Connor as deaf, mute, and very childlike, one who must be cultivated and nurtured before all the good traits present within her can be manifested. The South’s fatherwealth (patrimony) must likewise be lovingly tended for it to take root and blossom in the lives of new generations of Southerners.

But we mustn’t run too far ahead. Most everything about the elder Lucynell’s homestead points to the Old South in its post-War hardship and humility: the absent husband, Mr. Crater (killed in the War?), its description as “desolate” and a “plantation,” the elder Lucynell’s lack of teeth for the gum Shiftlet offers her.”

Despite Shiftlet’s rejection of his place in that land, he still shares some things in common with it. He scorns science before Ms. Lucynell for claiming it can explain the mysteries of the human heart: “Why, if he [‘one of these doctors in Atlanta’] was to take that knife and cut into every corner of it, he still wouldn’t know no more than you or me.” He likewise scorns a life lived merely for earing money: “‘Lady,’ he said slowly, ‘there’s some men that some things mean more to them than money.’ … He told the old woman then that all most people were interested in was money, but he asked what a man was made for. He asked her if a man was made for money, or what.”

Shortly after the War, there was still some agreement of the New South with the Old, Miss O’Connor seems to be saying, but confusion about the New South’s identity was early creeping in. Mr. Shiftlet introduces himself to the elder Lucynell as “Tom T. Shiftlet … from Tarwater, Tennessee” but then adds, “How you know my name ain’t Aaron Sparks … from Singleberry, Georgia, or George Speeds … from Lucy, Alabama, or … Thompson Bright from Toolafalls, Mississippi?”

“I don’t know nothing about you,” Ms. Crater answers prophetically. For even as he begins repairing the plantation, his eyes are drawn to Ms. Lucynell’s car: That is, the New South’s longing to join the Industrial Revolution, to be governed by science and technology and all the mammon-materialism that comes with them, rather than church and family, will now begin to be realized.

Howsobeit, the New South continued for a time its loyalty to the Old. Indeed, Shiftlet’s work fixing up Ms. Lucynell’s place is beginning to bring into the world those new forms of Southern life which yet have the same inner essence as the old forms, as is shown by his teaching the younger Lucynell to speak: “He … taught Lucynell, who was completely deaf and had never said a word in her life, to say the word ‘bird.’ The big rosy-faced girl followed him everywhere, saying ‘Burrttddt ddbirrrttdt,’ and clapping her hands.”

But just as these new forms are coming into being, Shiftlet makes his terrible choice: “‘Listen here, Mr. Shiftlet,’ she [Ms. Lucynell] said, sliding forward in her chair, ‘you’d be getting a permanent house and a deep well and the most innocent girl in the world.’”

” … then he said in an even voice, ‘Lady, a man is divided into parts, body and spirit.’”

“… ‘A body and a spirit,’ he repeated. ‘The body, lady, is like a house: it don’t go anywhere; but the spirit, lady, is like a automobile; always on the move, always …’”

“‘Listen, Mr. Shiftlet,’ she said, ‘my well never goes dry and my house is always warm in the winter and there’s no mortgage on a thing about this place … And yonder under that shed is a fine automobile.’”

“In the darkness, Mr. Shiftlet’s smile stretched like a weary snake waking up by a fire. After a second he recalled himself and said, ‘I’m only saying a man’s spirit means more to him than anything else. I would have to take my wife off for the week end without no regard at all for cost. I got to follow where my spirit says to go.’”

He goes through the outward motions of vowing lifelong loyalty to young Lucynell, but his heart is far from her. On their wedding day, “Mr. Shiftlet didn’t even look at her.” In just the same way, the folk of the after-War South did not leave their homeland, but were unfaithful to the ways of their forebears. They cast them aside very quickly, as Miss O’Connor shows us in Mr. Shiftlet’s disgraceful leaving of Lucynell asleep by herself at a diner far from home while he fares onward.

The full beauty of the Southern way of life, of Southern culture, has lain asleep, unwelcome within the borders of its own land, ever since: “The boy bent over and stared at the long pink-gold hair and the half-shut sleeping eyes. Then he looked up and stared at Mr. Shiftlet. ‘She looks like an angel of Gawd,’ he murmured.”

“‘Hitch-hiker,’ Mr. Shiftlet explained. ‘I can’t wait. I got to make Tuscaloosa.’”

“The boy bent over again and very carefully touched his finger to a strand of the golden hair and Mr. Shiftlet left.” Perhaps that is as close as many of the New South Southerners have come to partaking of the fullness of true Southern life, daring to touch only a small strand of the slandered whole: using a few Southern sayings like “cain’t” or “Ah reckon,” going hunting, having a family reunion. Faint echoes of the living words they have tried to forget.

Nevertheless, some good remains in the New South. Shiftlet keeps a mite of Southern chivalry by watching for hitch-hikers: “He felt too that a man with a car had a responsibility to others and he kept his eye out for a hitchhiker.” And he shows remorse for leaving his mother (the old ways of Southern life), saying to the hitch-hiker he has picked up: “‘My mother was an angel of Gawd,’ Mr. Shiftlet said in a very strained voice. ‘He took her from heaven and giver to me and I left her.’ His eyes were instantly clouded over with a mist of tears. The car was barely moving.”

But the boy hitch-hiker he is confessing to bespeaks the mindset of most New Southrons towards their past: “The boy turned angrily in the seat. ‘You go to the devil!’ he cried. ‘My old woman is a flea bag and yours is a stinking pole cat!’ and with that he flung the door open and jumped out with his suitcase into the ditch.”

Here at the end, the sky for the first time in the story has become cloudy and stormy; Shiftlet’s sorrow is not the “godly sorrow [that] worketh repentance unto salvation” (St Paul, II Corinthians 7:10, KJV). In the very act of praying for forgiveness, “Oh Lord!” he prayed. “Break forth and wash the slime from this earth!” he goes on his way towards the turmoil of the city, Mobile (Modern America, Babylon, Mammon), and away from the quiet, settled life of Ms. Lucynell’s farm (traditional Southern life): “After a few minutes there was a guffawing peal of thunder from behind and fantastic raindrops, like tin-can tops, crashed over the rear of Mr. Shiftlet’s car. Very quickly he stepped on the gas and with his stump sticking out the window he raced the galloping shower into Mobile.”

One of the besetting sins of Southerners has been a passion for money-getting. The Rev. Robert Lewis Dabney saw this as the reason for Gen. Jackson’s untimely death and the fall of the Confederacy (“Stonewall Jackson: Lecture,” Discussions by Robert Lewis Dabney, Vol IV.: Secular“).

Allen Tate saw it in the very beginning of the South (“Remarks on the Southern Religion,” I’ll Take My Stand: The South and the Agrarian Tradition). One may even see it in Dixie’s Old English forefathers more than a thousand years ago. In one collection of Maxims, the Old English writer wrote, ” … treasure is dearest, gold to everyman” (Mark Atherton’s “Complete Old English”).

If the South is ever to calm this passion and become herself — Christian, close to the land, honoring the past, etc. — she will have to enter the spiritual hospital of the Orthodox Church. Both the Roman Catholic and Protestant churches were founded by mere men, not the God-man, and thus can direct the South only to worldly living.

Only in the Orthodox Church will the South find healing for her soul, true life in God the Most Holy Trinity, just as her forefathers and foremothers in England, Ireland, Africa, Scotland, Spain, and elsewhere did, and became truly themselves as individuals and as whole nations. The beauty of their lives is reflected in the beauty of the culture that grew out from them. First and foremost the holy saints — monks and nuns, kings and hermits, missionaries and martyrs, farmers and soldiers — but also churches and monasteries, lovely manuscripts and hand crafts, a wonderful literature.

The schism in the Southern soul that Miss O’Connor was so concerned about will only heal when the South turns away from the Great Schism of 1054 that tore Western Europe away from the Orthodox Church and doomed her and her offspring to worldliness: wars, money-lust, falling away from God, and such like. Then, with the help of God, we will see the true beauty of the South blossom, first in the lives of homeborn Southern saints, then in all the fruits that holy living will bring forth in the material world.

But first we must stop “rac[ing] the galloping shower into Mobile.”

We are back with the return of Johnny Profita, the voice, and soul of so-called fiction, of Peddling Fiction as we get into the summer action film, “Point Break”.

To be clear, this is the one with Gary Busey, Keanu Reeves, and Patrick Swayze in a nonstop action thriller about an FBI agent lured by the rush when he goes undercover to unmask a band of surfers who seek a rush wherever it takes them, even to robbing banks.

This one will be 100% pure adrenaline.

Google Description for the film

Point Break

After a string of bizarre bank robberies in Southern California, with the crooks donning masks of various former presidents, a federal agent, Johnny Utah (Keanu Reeves), infiltrates the suspected gang. But this is no ordinary group of robbers. They’re surfers — led by the charismatic Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) — who are addicted to the rush of thievery. But when Utah falls in love with a female surfer, Tyler (Lori Petty), who is close to the gang, it complicates his sense of duty.

Show Notes:

We mentioned a few things related to banking, inflation, social security and more…for the most part, just check out Johnny’s podcast Peddling Fiction to find more of his take on those topics.

Here is a Murray Rothbard lecture about fractional reserve banking and how each of the natural checks against malfeasance have been systematically removed by the “experts”:

Here is a short read on the topic of “What Has Government Done to Our Money?”:

I also caught a recent episode of the Tom Woods Show, guest-hosted by Stephan Kinsella (Tom is recovering from illness) that got into these topics and what an individual might do to protect themselves from the coming consequences:

Ep. 1942

Ben Harp: “You know nothing. In fact, you know less than nothing. If you knew that you knew nothing, then that would be something, but you don’t.”

“If you want the ultimate, you’ve got to be willing to pay the ultimate price. It’s not tragic to die doing what you love.” – Bodhi

“It’s basic dog psychology, if you scare them and get them peeing down their leg, they submit. But if you project weakness, that promotes violence, and that’s how people get hurt. Peace, through superior firepower.” – Bodhi

“I know it’s hard for you, Johnny. I know you want me so bad it’s like acid in your mouth. But not this time.” – Bodhi

“This was never about money for us! It was about us against the system, that system that kills the human spirit. We stand for something. To those dead souls inching along the freeways in their metal coffins, we show them that the human spirit is still alive.” – Bodhi

The place where you lose yourself is the place where you find yourself:

“Thrill-seeking adrenaline addicts have always fascinated me. The idea seems to be that it’s not until you risk your humanness that you feel most human. Not until you risk all awareness do you gain awareness.” — Kathryn Bigelow (Director)

Thank you for joining us on this episode of the Actual Anarchy Podcast!

The Actual Anarchy Podcast is all about Maximum Freedom.

Robert and I analyze popular movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective. If it’s voluntary, we’re cool with it. If it’s not, then it violated the Non-Aggression Principle and Property Rights – the core tenants of Libertarian Theory – and hence – human freedom.

We use movies as a starting point for people who may not be familiar with this way of thinking. Discussion of the plot and decisions that characters make in relation to morality and violations of the non-aggression principle are our bread and butter.

We also will highlight and discuss any themes or lessons from Austrian Economics that we can glean from the film.

The point is to show what anarchy actually is with instances that are presented in film.

We publish new episodes on Sunday just in time for your Monday commute; and occasionally will do specials surrounding holidays or events (elections/olympics).

For our show where we talk about movies from a Rothbardian/Anarcho-Capitalist perspective, we often watch them on our various devices via Netflix, Amazon Prime or on VUDU (which lets you redeem UV content as well). The VUDU one is nice because once it is in there, you know it will still be there a few months later:

ABOUT

Actual Anarchy, an anarchy unlike what the average idiot thinks it would be. Anarchy means no rulers, not no rules. The non-aggression principle and a respect of property rights are what makes it go.

We host a podcast where we take pop culture movies and showcase moments or scenes or themes throughout that are literally actual examples of anarchy.

Any place, around the world, there are always examples of Actual Anarchy all about you. Sometimes you just have to sit back and take a look. It’s easy once they’ve been pointed out a few times.

Actual Anarchy is real-world examples of anarchy in action.

Movies, Shows, Books, News, etc… we host all sorts of content on the site from a bevy of writers enthusiastic for one goal: human freedom

The post Episode 245 – Point Break (1:40:23) appeared first on Actual Anarchy.

Howard and I talk about how the personal is political, Big Gay and its societal sodomizing, weaponized “science,” the systemic revolution that preys upon the vulnerable, the scapegoating of the archetype, the totalitarian tool of identity-less-ness, the depathologizing of pedophilia, the Great Reset, and “the mother lode of wrong think”: noticing and frankly discussing patterns within the complex’s web of institutional advocates. This assault on truth, beauty, and goodness must be discussed honestly, so I say, hurt feelings and triggered sensibilities be damned. Too much is at stake in this existential war.

Also mentioned in our interview are “The Culture of Critique” by Kevin McDonald, Dennis Prager, and even Jamiroquai, who prophetically called this madness back in the ’90s. So, here’s to saying “No!” to censorship and gaslit social-engineering, and “Yes!” to intellectual inquiry and taking the hill.
