In this thought-provoking episode of The Free Thought Project Podcast, Jason, Matt, and Don Via Jr. sit down with historian Dave Benner to explore the state of our political system, the cracks in the narratives, and the tools for fostering a mass awakening.
Dave Benner is a historian, author, and contributor to platforms like The Tenth Amendment Center, Mises Institute, and the Abbeville Institute. He has penned books such as Thomas Paine: A Lifetime of Radicalism, Compact of the Republic: The League of States and the Constitution, and The 14th Amendment and the Incorporation Doctrine. A staunch advocate of Jeffersonian principles, Dave is an outspoken critic of centralized authority and federal overreach, offering an insightful historical lens to today’s pressing issues.
In this episode, we tackle political theater, exposing how hollow rhetoric and promises are weaponized by politicians, while also highlighting the potential for even symbolic dissent to spark mass consciousness. Dave’s unique and optimistic perspective shines through as he shares how history, decentralized systems, and grassroots efforts can be leveraged to create real change.
We close on a white pill, discussing solutions for ensuring the mass awakening continues and how exposing corruption, even rhetorically, plays a vital role in challenging the status quo.
Join us for a rich, insightful conversation about the path forward, the power of knowledge, and the tools we have to resist authoritarianism and foster a freer world. Don’t miss this one! (Length: 1:05:31) Dave's Website: https://www.davebenner.com/ Dave on Twitter: https://x.com/dbenner83
