163: Broad vs Narrow Culture War
Listen now
Description
If war is simply conflict between Governments or states, and the use of armies targets the politcal, which economic warfare attacks a people's market or access to resources, what would it look like for a hostile country to use culture as an attack vector in a warlike fashion? Define it too broadly and innocent people will suffer as they get swept up alongside insurgents, producing a breeding ground for more conflict. Define it too narrowly, however, and insurgencies will be left to roam free under the guise of humanitarian aid or religious organizations.  Much of American culture lives in contradiction. It wants it's government to stay out of their business, except when it comes to supporting it. It's okay with government meddling, so long as it's bothering someone else. And anarchy provides no alternative.  In this episode we revisit Politics, Economics, and Culture as three different attack vectors between peoples, and take a look at pitfalls to avoid when scrying culture as a potential attack vector.  Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.com SSP and boutique products at redactedllc.com Follow us on Instagram at @redactedllc
