Come and Make It? | By Any Means

In this episode of By Any Means, James talks with Yeezy Prints — amateur gunsmith, 3D-printing advocate, and DIY gun designer — about 3D-printed guns, open-source technology, and what it means to become ungovernable. The conversation starts with guns but quickly becomes about much more: the means of production, the state's monopoly on violence, and why capitalism depends on keeping tools, knowledge, and power locked away from ordinary people. James and Yeezy get into Appalachia, poverty, Bernie, COVID, the Gatalog, DIY firearms, printer regulation, surveillance, cyberdecks, open-source software, and why "public safety" so often becomes the excuse for new forms of control. This is a conversation about what happens when people stop waiting for institutions to save them and start building the capacity to save themselves.
