## Resource

In this episode, Jordan speaks with Jake Hanrahan, founder of Popular Front, about independent journalism, censorship, and political division. He explained why YouTube’s demonetization pushed him to rethink documentary work and launch Away Days , a project focused on underground subcultures without moral framing. Jordan and Jake discuss culture-war politics, performative activism, and why most Western movements misunderstand what real escalation looks like. They also cover gun rights, civil liberties, and the inconsistency of defending principles only when they benefit your side. The episode closed on media incentives, AI, shrinking attention spans, and the importance of building real-world discipline and community instead of living online.
