The Hypocrisy of the US: Universal Background Checks, Proud Boys, and Condemning Russia

Flip The Script Podcast

In this episode, we delve into three different but interconnected topics that reveal the hypocrisy of the United States government. Firstly, we discuss the recent proposal of universal background checks for firearms purchases and argue that while it may seem like a reasonable solution to gun violence, it will ultimately hurt law-abiding citizens and infringe on their Second Amendment rights. Secondly, we explore the revelation that the FBI had infiltrated the far-right group, Proud Boys, and discuss the implications of such tactics for civil liberties and government accountability. Lastly, we examine the United States' history of military interventions and its role in perpetuating global instability, particularly in light of its condemnation of Russia's foreign policy. We argue that the US cannot claim to be a champion of democracy and human rights while engaging in aggressive and often illegal military actions around the world. Join us for a thought-provoking discussion on the hypocrisy of US politics and its impact on both domestic and global affairs
