The Tiananmen Square Massacre: From China’s Authoritarian Roots to the Iconic “Tank Man” Jul 8, 2020

On this episode of the Resistance Library Podcast Dan and Sam discuss the iconic “Tank Man” and the Tiananmen Square Massacre as well as the recent Hong Kong protests. China is often described as the next superpower to top America within the next few decades. At first glance, such an assertion makes sense. The country’s vast geography, natural resources, rich history, and tech-savvy populace puts it in a position to thrive in the 21st century. However, China’s rise as a superpower is not one of an overnight success, nor is it filled with pretty rainbows. Indeed, China is one of...

Constitutional Republic vs. Pure Democracy: How the U.S. Election Process Has Changed Jul 6, 2020

“I pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.”    Pledge of Allegiance, with a revision made in 1923 Conservatives are generally quick to point out that America is a republic, not a democracy. But what really is the difference, and are they even right? Voting in America has changed considerably since the days of our founding. Back then, the government didn’t even print official ballots. Instead, you got ballots from the candidate who wanted your support. Sometimes voting took place in...

Independence Day: The Forgotten History of America’s 4th of July and What It Commemorates Jul 3, 2020

  On this special holiday episode of the Resistance Library Podcast Dan and Sam are discussing the 4th of July. Every American knows what Independence Day is. Alongside Christmas and Thanksgiving, it’s one of the few holidays that hasn’t fallen prey to having to be celebrated on the closest Monday, rather than the actual day it falls on. However, less known is the history of the Fourth of July as a holiday. How did the celebrations emerge and what is the history of this, America’s birthday? Few know that the 13 Colonies actually legally separated from the mother country, the...

The American Old West: How Hollywood Made It “Wild” to Make Money & Advance Gun Control Jul 2, 2020

  Hollywood has a clever way of distorting our perspective on history, and a great example of this is Western film – a movie genre we've all come to love. Cattle rustlers, guns blazing, outlaws running loose, and vigilantes dishing out vengeance indiscriminately. These scenes have become more synonymous with the American Frontier than Winchester and their "Cartridge That Won the West." But these fictional tales have produced more than entertainment for over a century; they've also contributed to an ongoing, subtle push for gun control, all while making Hollywood millions. Revisionist history books tell us that the “Wild West”...

Negroes With Guns: The Untold History of Black NRA Gun Clubs and the Civil Rights Movement | Resistance Library Podcast Jun 30, 2020

On this episode of the Resistance Library Podcast Dan and Sam discuss Robert F. Williams, a forgotten, but important figure in the American Civil Rights Movement and American history. With the violent crime rate increasing disproportionately in urban communities, it's no surprise that a recent phone survey of black voters found that 80 percent felt gun violence was an “extremely serious” problem. However, it seems this surge in violence actually has many in the black community changing their views on gun ownership. In 1993, 74 percent of African-Americans favored gun control. Fast forward to 2018, and a Crime Prevention Research...

The Fort Moultrie Flag: Southern Liberty During the American Revolution Jun 25, 2020

On this episode of the Resistance Library Podcast Dan and Sam discuss the Moultrie Flag, more commonly referred to as the Liberty Flag. It was an icon during the Revolutionary War and flew over Sullivan Island in Charleston Harbor. The Moultrie Flag, also known as the Liberty Flag, is a strong symbol of the Southern role in the American Revolution. It’s also a handsome flag with a simple design on a beautiful blue color.

Self Defense for LGBT: Self-Protection and Concealed Carry (CCW) for the LGBT Community Jun 25, 2020

Throughout history, certain groups of people have been singled out for persecution. Because of what some see as dangerous differences, these outsiders experience ridicule and unprovoked violence at a much higher rate than the general population. The 20th century is littered with such examples: Jews, Gypsies, homoséxuals, and other non-Aryans in Nazi Germany, the Armenians in Ottoman Turkey, Christians in Uganda, anti-Communists during Mao’s Great Leap Forward, or anyone who was thought to be an intellectual during Cambodia’s Khmer Rouge. While the 21st century has thus far been seemingly less bloody for outsiders, thanks to an increasingly tolerant modern world, certain...
