176: Two Examples of Culture as Attack Vector
Listen now
Description
Two recent events (depending on how you interpret the news cycle) help point out the relevance of Culture as a potential attack vector. In the interview by Tucker Carlson, Putin accused Ukraine of breaching the separation of church and state by banning the practice of orthodox Christianity. To us in the west, the nuance of this decision can easily be lost, considering that we are close to what we call Protestantism and Catholicism, by proximity, but not Orthodoxy. At the same time there is a group who claim to be the Church of Satan in America.  If we condemn the acceptance of the Church of Satan, then may we also accept the Ukrainian Government's condemnation of Russian Orthodoxy?  If we accept that people have a Right to practice religion including the so called Church of Satan, are we required, then to condemn the Ukrainian Government? This is how we start to understand Culture as an Attack Vector for war making between governments.  Support the REDACTED Culture Cast at redactedculture.locals.com SSP and boutique products at redactedllc.com Follow us on Instagram at @redactedllc
