The point where a rejection of accepted opinion occurs. What happens when opinion is filtered through the lens of anti-authority and individualism? You reach the point of dissent. Join us as we talk about the accepted opinions on politics, religion, history, philosophy, and current events.
For those in power, control over the masses has and always be an illusion. At this point in our history, we are seeing the facade fade away as more people reject this control. During 2020, we saw both the left and right sides of the political spectrum take to the streets to voice their dissatisfaction with their governments. Now, with the most heated election behind us, we have already seen unprecedented action by the politically dissatisfied. Are we finally seeing the end of the great illusion or just a reinforcement of the status quo?

Principles or Preferences
In the age of fear and bad information, it is no surprise to see so many abandon long-held principles for preferences. Even among anarchists, dividing lines are being drawn and people are being attacked. The latest explosion is over the Kenosha shooting and where you should stand on it. Believe the shooting was legit, you cannot be an anarchist according to popular opinion. As insane as it was to watch the mask debate, this one seems to be even crazier. Within a system that subscribes to no ruler or hierarchy, there are those among us that feel they alone define what it is to be an anarchist. Join Evelyn and Shawn as they discuss this trend.

The Case for Secession
Secession has been considered one of the 'bad' words since the American Civil War. As most of the United States celebrate Independence Day, they rarely think of the Revolution as a form of Secession. Cole joins Evelyn and Shawn once again to discuss secession from our viewpoint and make the case that Secession is the only way to solve the majority of our problems. Bonus: Ever wonder why the president of the Confederacy was never tried for treason? Answer to this question and many more included in this week's episode
