Basecamp for Men E299: What Keeps Us From One Another?

E299: What Keeps Us From One Another?

 

E299 Introduction

I love speaking with people who are a stand for humanity and children. And who carry truth and optimism about our future. There is a wonderful strength to these people that flies in the face of all the doom and gloom that we all hear.

Today, my guest and I range far and wide but one of the takeaways is the desire for unification in our country. Both sides have been traumatized by the divide. Family and long-time friend groups pulled apart by differences of opinion and the engine of social media that seems to know just how to trigger all of us.

One of the things I that came away with is my own desire to hear the other side. I think I have finally set aside my own hurt over having dear friends leave my orbit and I feel more steady now. Less reactive. And ready to serve more of humanity. Not just my fellow Conservatives. My guest and I share stories and a similar desire to start to heal what has ailed our fellow Americans, regardless of political orientation.

Today’s interview is a really good one and a little longer than usual so let’s get right to it.

The American Pulse E13: Courageous Living and TPUSA

E13: Courageous Living and TPUSA w Special Guest Rachel Anderson

 

E13 Introduction

Of all the virtues that Americans possess, I would have to say that my two favorites are love of freedom and courage. I absolutely love courageous people and I always have. I have learned so much and fortified my own courageous path by those that have shown me the way. Courage begets courage, as the saying goes.

As Americans, whether we regularly voice it or not, are expected by the world, to be wayshowers on the paths of both freedom and courage for those traits are interrelated.

It is where the left and right in our country differ. The left has been fused with a Collectivist mindset. A Marxist expression where asserting your own values and principles is seen as threatening to the hive mind of the now radical left. Everything is seen as an existential threat to the Woke mindset- a disagreement, an assertion of independence and sovereignty, and certainly any act of courage is viewed as selfish and foreign to those that conform to the collectivist narrative that is handed to them and constantly reinforced.

It is a bit ironic that one of the gifts that the far left has given libertarians and conservatives these past few years is the gift of activating our courage and convictions. For example, there was no way we were going to just go along with the insane transgender ideology (pretending that biological men are women) or go along with putting authorities over parents in the care of children. Nope. We will never go along with that. Ever. Many of us libertarians just want to be left alone but we have not been left alone. So now everyone has to deal with an awakened conservative base. It’s a beautiful thing, in my eyes. A true Hero’s Journey for all of us.

Yet, it requires people standing and modeling courage, like my guest today. A young woman who exemplifies living a courageous life. Enjoy the interview.

Rachel Anderson Bio

My guest today is Rachel Anderson. Rachel is an courageous American, a Conservative, and a field rep for Turning Point USA. Here is my interview with Rachel Anderson.

And go support TPUSA! I can think of no better national cause than Charlie Kirk‘s visionary organization.Thank you listeners and we’ll see you next week on The American Pulse.
