Question 1: [2:03] - “As a 23-year-old residing in suburban America, I have to endure pressures from the far left in my everyday life. I see Western civilization scolded in class rooms and have concerns where their movement is going. I consistently see the top 1% of wealthy people being attacked over the large amount of capital that they managed to acquire.” “Considering the fact that Americans who earn over 32k a year are in the global 1%, where do you see this movement going? Am I going to be hearing how Ethiopians make 5 cents on the American dollar? Can an argument be made that Western politicians and institutions, are moving us towards a global Marxist society?” Question 2: [59:33] - “I am a biracial independent who leans to the right, having been a democrat before I went to college. I am in a happy relationship with my liberal, Bernie loving girlfriend. I’ve dated so many other types of girls during my college days, that I’m at a point where I’ve learned what I want in a woman and am convinced my current girlfriend is perfect for me, regardless of our political affiliations.”“I’m an engineer who just wants to live a happy, successful life without having politics needlessly forced into my day-to-day thinking. Despite that, I find that every now and then, there are instances where my girlfriend and I disagree on a matter, which is perfectly fine. However, I find that she’ll say something with a level of inaccuracy that vexes me, and I’ll give a not-so-eloquent response. Is there a way to best handle these isolated incidents where we can avoid an awkward situation?”Question 3: [1:29:00] - "With increasing regulations in the US, such as minimum wage increases in many cities and states, the cost of labor is rising higher and higher. At the same time the free market is making the cost of automation of many processes lower and lower. It seems we are on the cusp of an automation revolution as a way of the free market trying to compensate for this hyper-regulatory climate we are living in.”“There are some people that are talking about this leading to increased social unrest as more and more people lose their jobs, especially in the tertiary fields like customer service where much of America's work force currently resides. There is even talk from the tech giants of automation replacing much of the programming field eventually. Some people are going so far as to propose a Universal Base Income to try and head off this potentially looming societal disaster. I try to hold out that like the agricultural and industrial revolutions, this revolution will simply empower us to find new ways of creating wealth with less physical labor but it is so hard to see what the unseen hand of the market has in store for us.”“The only definitive positive I can see so far from this is that the cost of many goods will drop precipitously which will certainly help those on the lowest rung of the economic ladder. Certainly decreasing regulations could stave of this uncertainty for longer but that is a hard pill to sell to the American people at this moment."“What do you think the consequences of this revolution will have in store for the human species, good or bad? How do you think it will affect first world nations versus second and third world nations? Do you think this will finally help us jump the last hurdles to becoming a type I civilization which could create possible new opportunities to fulfill our needs to be productive members of the species or do you think it could lead to even more nihilistic hedonism?"Question 4: [1:54:57] - “I have been in the US Army reserve for 7 years. I joined in 2009 after graduating high school. After my initial training, I spent three years at a Senior Military College studying to become an Army Officer.”“What I experienced during these last 7 years was a Military hamstrung by bureaucracy and political correctness. Obesity in the military is an epidemic from the generals to the privates. Drill Sergeants can't stress out a trainee, corrective training for unacceptable behavior cannot be more than 10 unaltered push-ups. Drill Sergeants cannot control the diets of grossly overweight soldiers, meanwhile these same drill sergeants are expected to prepare young men and women for combat.”“Most of my officer training was equal parts land navigation, physical training, and sexual harassment prevention. I honestly look back on my experiences there as a joke, and I am glad that I did not complete the program.”“This last year I have obtained a decent job that provides a decent living and I am currently trying to leave the military. I informed my unit of my decision in June. I was told just this month, that the process takes months, and my paperwork has not even been started. This is a Military that is not only expected to defend its own country, but many other countries around the world.”“Is the majority of the US military not meant to fight anymore? Is it a backdoor way of getting more people on a form of welfare state control?”Freedomain Radio is 100% funded by viewers like you.
