The Tim Moen Show

Tim returns after a two-and-a-half-year break, two of them spent as a union executive's VP of political action, "banging my head against the wall." Fresh off a US blue wave and the defeat of Alberta separatism, he asks why political action always seems to fail, and proposes an exit: building voluntary nations.

- (02:22) Why the best the right ever does is slow the state's growth ("progressives driving the speed limit," per Michael Malice)
- (05:28) Why even a 75% Alberta independence vote likely wouldn't produce a nation: Clarity Act, stakeholders, monkey wrenches
- (06:43) Nation states are born from conquest and plunder, not referendums
- (08:45) Democracy as a suggestion box on a plantation, and why the slaves end up fighting each other
- (13:06) "Upgrading the pen": why political action matters for your kids but doesn't fix the system
- (15:40) Conspiracy theorists, corrupt vs. "noble" slave owners, and the original sin
- (19:03) Albert Jay Nock's "Isaiah's Job" and preaching to the remnant
- (20:14) Voluntary nations: identity, safety, cooperation without coercion
- (22:13) Balaji Srinivasan's The Network State and network archipelagos
- (25:05) Appreciative inquiry: build what's alive instead of fixating on problems
- (27:04) What would it take for you to pledge allegiance to a nation you chose?

Mentioned: Michael Malice; Balaji Srinivasan, *The Network State*; Albert Jay Nock, "Isaiah's Job"; the Clarity Act; appreciative inquiry.

Brett Forte is no stranger to controversy and cancellation. After winning 'Yuk Yuks Top New Comic' of 2016 and 'Edmonton's Funniest Person' in 2017, Forte became a favourite at The Hollywood Comedy Festival, appeared at Just For Laughs and has since been banned by the CBC, and fired from commercial gigs for offending the humourless.

Most recently his comedy trio, The Danger Cats, have been banned from numerous venues in Canada after a shirt they sold depicting serial killer cannibal Robert Pickton made controversial national news. Despite this Brett persists and flourishes and has landed jobs with tops acts like TJ Miller, Jay Pharoah, Chris Delia, Brendan Schaub, Josh Wolf and Bobby Lee.

Brett joins me to discuss how to flourish in the face of controversy, build up resilience, the importance of humour in the face of tragedy, the challenges comedians face in todays sensitive climate, and much more.

2 Communists vs 2 Libertarians with a twist - we argue the opposite side and try and make the best case for the side we disagree with!
