Buck Johnson is the creator of the Death to Tyrants podcast. Johnson describes the show as “anti-warfare, anti-welfare, pro-liberty” and himself as a “hardcore paleo-libertarian/anarcho-capitalist” and a “huge proponent of secession and decentralization.”
The Texas native is longtime musician and has played drums for many of the roots, rockabilly, punk, and country acts in Austin, including with the great Jimmie Vaughan at many of the Ron Paul rallies back in 2008 and 2012. In normal life, Johnson is fire department lieutenant, but in dissenter land, he's a rabble-rousing rebel and an effective interviewer who has built quite a following by talking with an array red-pilled folks from diverse liberty perspectives.
Johnson and I chat his “awakening moment” a la Harry Browne’s classic book, “The Great Libertarian Offer,” his time in the League of the South, and the vital role that Southern tradition plays in resisting tyranny and fighting for decentralization. He discusses words and action, defines some important terms, tells us the origin of his first name, and even shares some breaking news regarding his popular podcast!
We also discuss the Austin music scene, how wu-flu mania is affecting live performers and venues, and his friend and one my family’s favorite classic-country troubadours Dale Watson. It was a wild and informative ride, so I hope y’all enjoy getting to know Buck, a true ally to the cause of sanity.
