Chaining Egregores — The Modern Minuteman

Conversation with Skilos of Cascade Frontier exploring the informational landscape, the tactics and communities best suited for success in the modern maelstrom, and the Modern Minuteman approach to building capability and orientation.

"We are in a time where the structures that we were supposed to rely on for orientation and for creating the context in which we could live meaningful lives have either failed or deliberately betrayed that role. And so it's on us, the average citizen, to form our own understanding, build new bonds, and pragmatically secure our own interests."

Key Topics

  • Elite Failure & Citizen Response — When institutions fail their mandate, the average citizen must reclaim the responsibility to understand and act.
  • Historical Precedent — The Revolutionary War was preceded by 30 years of attempting to redress grievances through proper channels before kinetic action.
  • Coalition Building — Finding common ground for cooperation while acknowledging points of competition. "Pushing the tower over together."
  • What Comes After — The emerging conversation about post-regime possibilities: neo-feudalism, technocracy, or something new.

The Old World with Will Tanner — Statecraft and Becoming a Modern Minuteman

Discussion on failing Western institutions, para-sovereignty, and what it means to become a Modern Minuteman. Topics include E-Prime and operational language, the Schmittian exception, Return to the Land as a model, and NLI legal battles reaching the DOJ.

"A Modern Minuteman is essentially this capable civic operator that understands the mechanics of power of the day, is capable of resisting being captured by narratives and recruited to causes that don't serve his own interests, and is prepared to apply practical skills to the prevention and solution of problems in his local area."

Key Topics

  • E-Prime & Operational Language — Removing "to be" verbs reveals hidden ambiguity. Rulers control through definitional imprecision left in law.
  • Para-Sovereigns — Emerging loci of agency rising because top-level institutions have failed. May be where new state forms arise.
  • Return to the Land — Community in rural Arkansas using Private Membership Association structure as novel legal protection.
  • Brandon Hayes & NLI — Legal battles against bank overreach now reaching DOJ level, testing the limits of bureaucratic authority.

More appearances will be added as they happen.
