On this episode of Liberty Under Attack Radio, I’m pleased to welcome back Brett Veinotte from the School Sucks Podcast. For the past year or so, Brett has been living a quite nomadic lifestyle. He went on a road trip for his School Sucks Across America tour, attended two Renegade University Meetups with Thaddeus Russell, and just recently settled down in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

We talked about why he decided to pursue such a lifestyle, the importance of being with like-minded individuals in physical space and time, the role past decisions have on limiting freedom, the role of education in personal freedom, our past missteps when trying to discuss the philosophy of liberty with “opponents”, why I’ve decided to pursue van nomadism, and the freedom/growth a life of travel provides.

On this special episode of LUA Radio, you’ll hear the last recording from my 10-day or so road trip that ended in June. Jeremy Henggeler and I were joined by Ben Stone, the Bad Quaker. We talked vonu, political crusading, lessons from history, the importance of philosophy and history, and Ben officially retires from podcasting.

It was an honor to be on the last podcast with him, but truly, truly saddening at the same time. Ben was an inspiration and a mentor to many anarchists, me included; now, it’s time for us self-liberators to pick up where he left off.

On this episode of LUA Radio, we return to the topic of the Second Realm. We are pleased to welcome @JoeSal to the podcast, a gentleman I met on Steemit. For the past few weeks, we have been discussing the subject in quite a lot of depth; I found his insight, perspective, and contributions highly valuable and decided to invite him onto the show.

We begin by discussing the map of the Second Realm he put together, wherein he proposes that two applications will likely exist: “socially constructed” Second Realms and Second Realm outposts. Then, we dive into some potential obstacles that individuals might run into when building these free, autonomous zones, Kyle provides his input and disagreements, and much more.

Big thanks to Joe for his contributions and for coming onto the show.

On this episode of Liberty Under Attack Radio, I’m pleased to welcome Jordan Ibarra, the vocalist of the incredible progressive death metal band, Aristeia. Not only is their music technically advanced, but the lyrics are great as well. Jordan certainly has a great take on the nature of the situation “we” find ourselves in.

Herein, he tells us a bit about his life growing up in California and some insight into the local political climate; I read some of my favorite lyrics of theirs and had Jordan elaborate on certain political/apolitical themes; and lastly, we get some insight into Aristeia and the new album they’re currently recording.

It was honestly fascinating (and highly valuable) to get another perspective on freedom, the State, and the current political climate. Big thanks to Jordan! Make sure to check out their music!
