We all know how the west was won – rugged individualism, a bold and daring approach to the new frontier, and a fierce belief in personal liberty and independence. But that does not describe the west or, more specifically, America any longer. We’ve traded individualism for collectivism, risk-taking for easy handouts, and liberty for big brother.
My guest today, Axel Kaiser, makes the case against leftist ideology, why America is the last glimmer of hope in the world, and how a basic understanding of economics could free us all. Today, we talk about public debt and entitlement, whether the leftist ideology that permeates our culture is based in ignorance, stupidity, or malice, why the meritocracy isn’t a representation of power hierarchies, and how, if we continue down this path, we may see a new age of darkness.

I talk with hundreds, if not thousands, of men each and every week and I can tell you with 100% certainty that many of them are feeling trapped and stuck in horrible relationships, dead-end jobs, and a life of complacency and mediocrity.
Unfortunately, way too many of these men attempt to pull themselves out of the waking nightmare they’ve found themselves in. It doesn’t work. It’s impossible to pull yourself out of a place you currently are. What you need is someone else from a different perspective on sure footing to offer a hand so that you begin to change your current reality.
That is what we do in our brotherhood of men. We work together to help each other out. We don’t offer handouts (that doesn’t help either). We offer hand-ups. That means you’re going to have to work as hard, if not harder, than the man who is working to serve you.
If you’re ready to put in the work and just need an assist along the way, we have a proven framework and a solid network of men who will band with you along the way.
