Break the Rules

Watch on YT: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X_mqIiVtcsk

The United States may be approaching a genuine breaking point.

Across the country, two increasingly irreconcilable visions of America are colliding: one side demanding order, enforcement, and the restoration of state while the other viewing enforcement itself as illegitimate, immoral, or existentially dangerous.

To explore this divide, Break The Rules brings together two voices who both want a high-trust society, but disagree sharply on how such a society can be rebuilt.

Auron MacIntyre: a political writer and commentator focused on state capacity, legitimacy, and institutional breakdown in the modern West. He has contributed to The Blaze and other outlets, and has appeared on Tucker Carlson Tonight and related programs discussing law, enforcement, and the limits of liberal governance.

He is the author of The Total State: How Liberal Democracies Become Tyrannies (2024), a critical examination of how modern liberal democracies can drift toward authoritarian outcomes through emergency powers, bureaucratic expansion, and weakened constitutional constraints. Drawing on his experience as a journalist during the Trump presidency and the COVID-19 pandemic, MacIntyre analyzes censorship, surveillance, selective enforcement, and the growth of unaccountable administrative power, questioning whether democratic systems reliably restrain authority—or instead enable its expansion under crisis conditions.

Rio Veradonir: a political organizer, producer, and advisor working across multiple civic and advocacy organizations. He is the Founder and Editor of Queer Majority, a political publication focused on inclusion and liberal democratic values, and serves with the A.D. Bi Foundation. Rio is also a Producer at Bi.org, the world’s largest bisexual advocacy organization, and the Lead Organizer of amBi, a national bisexual social and political network. In addition, he serves as an Advisor to Project Liberal and Illinois Values, where his work centers on civic engagement, coalition-building, civil liberties, and the preservation of democratic norms in polarized societies.

Since many on the MAGA right talked about how Zelensky's govt and the people's popular will in Ukraine differs in their views on the Russian invasion and peace deals, I thought it would be interesting to talk to the Ukrainians themselves, so enlisted a friend's help to find random people (as picked by our right leaning guest, former US Special Forces Brian O'Shea) in the streets of Kyiv to speak with.

Once again, a huge thank to you all of the Patrons who make this possible! You can see the finished edited version of the AMA here: https://youtu.be/NIKIypSORkQ

Philosopher Jason Jorjani joins Lev Polyakov for an unfiltered Ask Me Anything that becomes a full-scale journey—from hidden technology and the coming Deep State coup, through metaphysical control systems, civilizational genetics, occult intelligence networks, and Brazil’s role in the post-collapse world, all the way to Promethean myth, tantric energy, and the fate of human individuality.

Jorjani connects the dots between zero-point propulsion, the CIA’s spiritual experiments, Iranian esotericism, and Zohran Mamdani’ as a 5th Columnist for a return to the middle ages.

What happens when ancient mysticism meets the future of warfare? 🧠⚔️

In this episode of Break The Rules, Lev Polyakov is joined by Ryan Cropper — known for his deep dives into astral projection and out-of-body experiences — and The Warrior Philosopher, who brings a critical futurist and martial perspective. Together they explore whether “spiritual technologies” like astral projection could play a role in preparing warriors of the future.

Is astral projection merely a metaphor for mental mastery, or an actual frontier of consciousness exploration?

How does Traditionalism, Evola, and even Dune’s concept of the trained elite intersect with modern neurotech, genetic enhancement, and psychic research?

We’ll dig into:

🔹 The overlap between ancient initiation and modern military psychology

🔹 “Inner war” vs. “outer war” — what real discipline looks like

🔹 The possibility of astral projection as reconnaissance or “remote viewing”

🔹 Whether the next evolution of the warrior class is spiritual, biological, or both.

Trump has approved long-range strikes into Russian territory using American weapons, and the US will provide Ukraine with intelligence for Missile Strikes Deep Inside Russia... does this cross the line w/ Russia when it comes to launching World War III or will it instead weaken Russia enough to stop the existing war?
