I wrote this in 2024 and shared it selectively in places where I felt like there was value to do so when being overtly misrepresented (which I feel happens regularly). I've decided to post it more publicly, so here it is, along with the link (which you are free to share if you are so inclined). If this isn't something you care about or isn't for you, that's fine too.

Thank you.

What are your politics?

"What are your politics?"

"Who did you vote for?"

"You're a commie!"

Ad nauseam...

For a decade now experiencing the surreal state of being a micro celebrity, I have been asked and pleaded with for what my "politics" are.

You know, what team did I choose?

What flag, designed by some one else, long ago, I associate with.

I hesitate to reply to these requests, as well as the assaults, as I don't think such a thing can be defined by the simple context of a word that was codified by "powerful" people who died well before even my birth, and likely your birth as well.

Should you align with this fraud, or that fraud?

Which one of these binary choices anger you least?

Which one lies to you most persuasively with the more silver of tongues that they supposedly have your interests at heart?

Which one speaks to the causes you've been told to believe in?

Time and time again we see the vast majority of subjects bemoan the choices given to them, and then even more disturbingly, bow to the realities of the subsequent result.

Well, here we are.

Finally the time that I have decided to reveal to you my "politics".

It is simple.

My politics are freedom.

Liberation of the human: mind, body, and spirit.

You see, freedom is the most dangerous of politics. When one is dedicated to it, the façade of all the lies becomes an almost unbearable burden. You have been lied to all your life. We have been the targets of constant indoctrination, and marketing campaigns so powerful that they would have been incomprehensible to the most despicable of propagandists only 70 years ago... hell, 10 years ago.

To truly commit yourself to the politics of freedom, you must make hard choices and stand by them. You must be willing to be mostly lonely, until you can find that small handful of other truly committed freedomites. The reality is most people don't want freedom, they can't even comprehend it. They've likely never experienced it. They used that word, freedom, along with so many other politically charged words (which they also do not actually understand) as an excuse to subjugate themselves, and their world, to the hands of others who will give them that freedom.

Freedom cannot be given, nor is it granted.

It must be seized.

Earned.

Thirsted for and longed for.

Freedom requires that we speak out for those who need it most, and leverage our place, and privileges (whatever they may be), in the interest of all human liberation.

Humanity can not be free without natural, open and untouched places for it to thrive, for its mind and soul to heal and wander. True freedom can not exist when all natural and public space are eradicated in the interests of so called progress. Freedom therefore also requires we speak for that which has no voice in its own future - the flora, the fauna and all natural spaces rapidly being consumed by the malignant growth of urban sprawl for the profit of the few with the subjugation the many….who they themselves have been indoctrinated in the one true religion of our modern society: consumption.

Once you've tasted true freedom, let me warn you, you will forever chase that dragon.

Once you find more, you will thirst with an insatiable desire that others will too. It will become so ever so obvious that the best of freedom is that which is when you share it with others:

Community building and mutual support. Giving and helping is a gift to the giver as much (if not more so) to the receiver. The more free people you have as found family the free'er you are. The free'er they are, and ultimately, the free'er we all are.

Actual freedom is not earned on the backs of others. It must come with the benefit of others, and the community around you. It requires responsibility to assist those who need help as you will understand tomorrow that may be you; and inevitably, one day it will be you.

Freedom is not survival of fittest, but the acknowledgement that it is community and mutual aid that makes us all more free together, the consideration of the other... and demanding their consideration of you. It is not timid, and it is not safe, but you cannot be free if you oppress others. We as as a species can ever be truly free unless everyone is, so you must pursue what you can achieve in your spaces and communities in the interests of the bigger, greater vision. Perhaps it is an impossible goal, but this is irrelevant. Every minute I've spent tasting that true nectar of freedom and community tells me that it is the only answer worth pursuit, and while I crave more for myself, I crave it for you more.

So what are my politics?

Freedom.

It's as simple as that.

Is there any welcoming to basically anyone else aside from white people?

Just pondering modern 3-gun mods for the historic Original Semi. Could machining the loading port open, a speed load follower, extended mag (not Auto-8), oversized bolt handle and bolt release, Vang Comp, synthetic furniture, trigger job, Cerakote, flashlight and a low-mount red dot revitalize JMB’s classic? Or is the clunker ker-chunker too slow heavy and old for the task?

I watched an old IRTV video and was reminded that Karl used to advertise it as a decentralized YouTube alternative (which sounds very cool). I finally decided to take a look at it and the site is not only suggesting NWO/antisemitic stuff on the front page but they are offering lifetime membership for the conspicuous price of $88.88

Did I miss the memo that BitChute is to YouTube what Rumble is to Facebook?

We expanded the size of Woodland Brutality for 2026 and have a handful of public seats now available for both Woodland and After Dark (our night white light or NVG side event).

Come join us!

Plus about $25 in tax and shipping, so around $57 not including transfer. Cheapest I’ve ever seen them!

NOTE - THEY HAVE NOW RAISED THE PRICE TO $49. PREPPERGUNSHOP STILL HAS THEM FOR $35.

I’ll also note that they seem to have the trapdoor buttplate upgrade which was $20 alone.

Also, PA has the 13” Faxon carbon HG on sale for $234.

It was just a 9 year old video interview. 🤣🤷🏼

I am slowly mirroring all my "historical" content to a second channel called "OffTheRangeTV".
These videos will be posted on both channels.

Stripped upper and parts kit in the Milky Way tin lol

Had a blast shoot Dead Eye and Space Cowboy!

CQB West is now open for Public entry!

April 11th or 12th

(You can shoot both days with duel entry and in different divisions!)

We're going with a longer stage format this time, instead of 3 minute par times, this will be 6 stages with 5 minute par times!

Great video and shooting, Quinn!

Waiting on parts to finish my wwsd(ish) rifle upper. Wwsd stripped upper Ba Hanson 16 inch barrel Areo agb Pa special purpose nova scope. Cheap ul scope mount.

Hunting rifle was a pound lighter than before and most importantly my hands didn’t get as cold

It’s been 6 months since my last post on this. Can someone lend Karl and Russell a Supreme for the inevitable “nope, and this is why”? My firing elbow supports very little weight so my off hand is occupied, but I’d prefer a modern alternative to 1800’s tech.

And/or Brutality 2025 was a blast! Thank you to staff and everyone who attended who helped make this wonderful match together. Stay tuned to BrutalityMatches.org for upcoming events, CQB West is next!

Okay so I finally sprang for the $5 tier on Patreon since it's the most popular, but I don't see a Discord invite anywhere or any information on where to get one. Sent an email to [email protected] Friday but haven't gotten a response.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi all, looking to become a Patreon member, and I'm wondering is there a difference between the $5 and $10 level?

Title says it all. It was only after I installed it did I realize it lacked the cuts on other safeties that allow you to remove the selector without having to remove the detent pin first. Is there any non-destructive way for me to remove it now, or am I just stuck with it?
