What is Anarcho-Tyranny? | SOTG 1309

"Anarcho-Tyranny is a political theory that describes a government that is simultaneously oppressive toward law-abiding citizens while being lax or ineffective at controlling criminal behavior." Sounds familiar, doesn't it?

We live in a country where 14-time convicted felons can walk the streets unmolested by authorities, yet we constantly have to live in fear of a government bureaucracy suddenly deciding a random piece of plastic will get you arrested.

Is this all a big coincidence, or is this a carefully orchestrated set of circumstances? Well, listen up.

Student of the Gun Radio Intro

Paul mentioned a new Pipe Hitters novella by Nicholas Orr called "Mockingbird" and that work had begun on Book 5 of the series. The show's intro music was played, and they prepared to discuss gear and tech topics, with a particular focus on a recent article about dangerous safety.

Tech Talk from EOTech Inc

The discussion focused on the importance of having the correct batteries for optic devices, particularly for those using unusual battery types. Paul  shared a personal experience where a dead battery in an optic caused issues at the range, emphasizing the need to check and carry appropriate batteries, especially when traveling or attending training classes. 

Warrior of the Week

They introduced the Warrior of the Week segment, honoring Charlie Kirk for his courage in speaking truth despite opposition. The discussion then transitioned into the Student of the Gun Homeroom segment, where they planned to explore stochastic terrorism and referenced an article about arbitrage that would be linked in the show notes.

Western Civil Society on the Brink

Zach read an article titled "When the Wolves Roam Free" discussing the collapse of civil society in Western countries, focusing on issues like crime, immigration, and anarcho-tyranny.

He highlighted specific examples, including a recent incident in North Carolina and the situation in New York City, where 63 criminals were responsible for over 5,000 offenses on public transportation due to no-bail policies. Zach emphasized the need to address these serious issues affecting Western nations, which he argued are at a critical crossroads.

Racial Bias in Media Coverage

We discussed a violent incident where 23-year-old Ukrainian refugee Irina Zerutska was stabbed to death on a light rail in Charlotte, North Carolina. The mainstream media largely ignored the story for two weeks, with coverage only emerging through alternative media platforms like X.

The attacker, DeCarlos Brown Jr., was a repeat offender with 14 previous arrests, yet was allowed to remain free. The discussion highlighted the contrast in media coverage depending on the race of the perpetrator and victim, and criticized local officials for pausing their meeting to celebrate a council member's birthday rather than immediately addressing the incident.

Anarcho-Tyranny and Gun Regulation History

Zach read a definition of anarcho-tyranny, describing it as a system where the state is both oppressive and permissive, failing to enforce laws against criminals while over-regulating law-abiding citizens. Dad emphasized the importance of understanding this concept and recommended reading Alexander Solzhenitsyn's Gulag Archipelago to grasp the reality of socialism and the deliberate release of criminals who continue to commit crimes.
