Left vs. Right | Part 1: Consent, Coercion, & the Illusion of Freedom | EP 13

In this week’s episode of Foundations in Reality, George unpacks the real fault line between the political left and right: collective duty vs. individual liberty. From COVID-era mandates to Canada’s raw milk laws, he examines where consent ends and coercion begins, why “we’re all in this together” collides with natural law, and how human rights get confused with entitlements. With Jeff pressing tough questions, George explores unconscious drivers, tribal belonging, Maslow’s needs, and the difference between voluntary community and forced association. If you’ve felt the culture war but crave first-principles clarity, this episode maps the terrain and a path back to mutual respect.
