Martin talks with Pastor Drew Jacques with the Around the Campfire series. In this episode, we start off talking about art and how the creative expression of individuals is running headlong into a sort of group think that Pastor Drew identifies as "sheeple." Martin looks at this sort of "group mentality," like the Ottawa Trucker Rally as something that is more cancerous in how it is anti-culture. The anti-culture "sheeple" mentality has been nurtured by several different avenues, such as the prosperity church, nationalism and pure propaganda by political organizations. One of the first casualties always is art, which represents the aspirations and observations of society as a whole. A healthy culture looks out for its artists and celebrates the individuality of art. Anti-culture therefore looks upon art with suspicion, if not outright hostility.
