Why all good Americans must be afraid of "Christian Nationalists"
Watch the leftwing authoritarian Marxist media create the Narrative in real time: 1, if you believe that our rights derive from God, then you are a "Christian Nationalist" 2, if you are a "Christian Nationalist," you are a dangerous proto-terrorist who must be surveilled, harassed, debanked, and imprisoned by the Marxist God-State
She didn't say "2" but we've seen how this game of demonization and creation of a pretext for government persecution works.Yes. But how do you handle such attacks? Ace posted Kyle Shideler's reaction: "I wish everyone posting this clip would stop with the "look how dumb they are" schtick. They aren't dumb. They are setting conditions for what will become, or has already become, the accepted reality." Troublemaker James Lindsay, that anti-communist atheist with a background in the study of religious cults, would agree with Shideler. He has foreseen this for several months now, and says that "Christian Nationalism is an operation" of the left. This was his reaction to the same clip:
He has been studying the methods by which leftists conduct leftist operations. Lindsay has also said:These kinds of arguments are bait. They want you to argue the substance. Don't. Expose the operation instead. Don't take the bait, cut the line. https://t.co/E1odYPOTiV
— James Lindsay, ultra-low social credit (@ConceptualJames) February 23, 2024
Now what? Now we watch the Right walk into the most obvious trap laid for them maybe in all of history.So, how do you expose their operation? Lindsay seems to be dribbling this information out a little at a time, but he recommends studying the Woke manual for activism, Beautiful Trouble. Because, for example,
"Christian Nationalism" doesn't have a definition. It's an operational term that means whatever it needs to mean moment to moment in order for the operation to succeed.
Some highlights:
Christian Nationalism is 10000% an op. Since I'm incredibly accused of not backing up this assertion, let's have a thread, not of arguments but just to show off some of the ways the media sees it.
Not to get lost in that weighty article, here's what Time Magazine, a mouthpiece of the WEF, had to say about Christian Nationalism. It poses three distinct threats to the United States: it's anti-democratic, racist, and approves of political violence. You should read the whole report, remembering that it came from "inside the church" in partnership with atheist Freedom From Religion Foundation lawyer Andrew Seidel, who also filed a detailed report of his own to the House Unselect Committee on J6. Time Magazine, linking the idea of Christian Nationalism to the icon Marjorie Taylor Greene, who is widely recognized by the center-left as an idiot hate symbol and what's wrong with rural America and Congress, offers another article about it, same themes.
MSNBC uses excuses like Greene to tie Christian Nationalism to all of the Republican Party, especially MAGA, a recurring theme in all of this literature. . . What we're looking at here is easy to dismiss as the ravings of the Leftist press or even to characterize as a sales pitch for Christian Nationalism, since we know their "democracy" means their tyranny (Communism, frankly), but we need to understand what it is.
What you are looking at here, and why I did this thread, is called Operational Preparation of the Environment in political warfare talk. If you think this is ridiculous and worth ignoring, that's because you're not in the target audience of its psychological active measure. The objective in saturating a media narrative from multiple kinds of outlets (Vertically Integrated Messaging Apparatus) is to psychologically prime the target audience to believe there's a lurking or looming threat out there that will become an emergency later at the right time. . .
There are two primary target audiences with this issue. First, there's the center-left, whom they want to have believe in a lurking threat with an identifiable name that's already associated with things they don't trust. They're linking that name to "bad" things they know. The objective with the center-left is to create a vague sense that Christian Nationalism is real, on the rise, and dangerous, and more importantly that it's associated in various ways with the worst things they know: Covid, Boebert and Greene, J6, racism, fascism, violence. . . The other target audience is the red-pilled Right, or at least the dumber among them, who are Christians leaning toward the Christian Nationalism movement. They want them to think the Regime sees it as a threat (it doesn't) so they think it's "based" to get involved.
The Regime doesn't see Christian Nationalism as a threat, you guys. It's a trap they're setting. They're showing weakness because they know they're immeasurably strong. Walk into it if you want, but I recommend you don't. I don't care that much about you if you do, tbf, but don't
You should realize the relevance of the fact that they're working with elements "inside the church." It's really easy to dismiss those characters as Leftists or apostates or in ill-repute or whatever. You're missing it. The savvy operators in the church are playing both sides. . . As I have explained umpteen times in the past, in case you missed it, the goal of this part of the op is to destroy independent churches and belief, just like in the Soviet Union. It's not to get rid of Christianity. It's to put it under government yoke despite the 1A. That happens by linking Christian Nationalism to white nationalism, domestic extremism, insurrection, political violence, etc., and mandating surveillance and other legal measures that make it hard to run an indy church. Convention churches skip it through a deal made. The conventions come along and say that they'll exert convention discipline on member churches, and the government will lighten the pressure on convention churches in response. Now you have a de facto "registered church" like the USSR but that's USA 1A compliant. The people who are writing these reports and positioning themselves within the church as adjacent to Christian Nationalism, whether warm or cool to it, without signing onto it fully, are your snakes who want to run the new registered churches, plus their money and power.So is Lindsay talking crazy talk? Or do we just point out that The Regime has nothing to fear from Christian Nationalism when the conspiracy theorists get going?
In 85 theaters, Reiner's bigoted attack on Christians who dared to vote for Donald Trump earned just $38,415 over four days. As one website put it, that's "averaging $451 [per] theater over four days, which is incredibly low." If you assume it only had "one showing each day (and likely it had several), it brought in around 112 dollars a day, or ten people a day spread across however many showings." . . It certainly wasn't negative reviews or a lack of publicity that humiliated God and Country at the box office. Producer Rob Reiner (someone named Dan Partland directed) has been all over cable news pimping his latest flop. Naturally, far-left critics gushed God and Country to a 91 percent fresh rating at Rotten Tomatoes. Here's how the far-left New York Times described the movie:From J.J.'s comments, Handshakes suggests that the poor quality of the movie was not due to the fact Rob Reiner produced it. I think that the movie is not the intended final product, though. I think Reiner and others will use clips from the movie in anti-Christian ad spots for the election. Reiner has already been doing the cable news circuit. Nobody has to see the movie in order for Reiner's message to reach its intended audience. Did you pick up on Reiner's message about "good" and "bad" Christians?"God & Country" describes the growing threat to democracy posed by voters who subscribe to the belief that the United States is above all a Christian nation and that this should influence policies on abortion, public education, immigration, and so on. The film's insights about the role of religion in politics feel especially well-informed because many of its commentators draw on their own personal and professional experiences with the Christian church. They're believers, too, and they're worried. The rise of Donald J. Trump as a presidential candidate and his subsequent term in office galvanized antidemocratic attitudes in the country, and in the film the former president is likened to a fire-and-brimstone televangelist. A pocket history lesson charts how televangelists grew in power in the 1970s and '80s, opportunistically using wedge issues such as abortion for conservative political goals.Last I read, America is a republic where the best ideas are supposed to win. But fascists like Reiner and the New York Times believe Christian ideas should be automatically disqualified for being Christian.
Rod of Iron Ministries (also known as the World Peace and Unification Sanctuary Church) is a schismatic offshoot of the Unification Church led by Hyung Jin Moon and Kook-jin Moon. Both of them are sons of Sun Myung Moon and Hak Ja Han. Their father is the founder of the Unification Church and its leader until his death in 2012. Their mother is its present leader.[1]This particular church seems to be doing some things to attract people disaffected with government. For example, they bought land in Texas near where the government slaughtered David Koresh and his followers. You might recall that investigators discovered that members of the original Korean church (not the one in the USA) were widely used as political workers by politicians in Japan, after a son of a former member assassinated Shinzo Abe. This was the environment in which the sons who established the U.S. church grew up. Separating church and politics may not seem natural to them. "King Bullethead" is the rap name of the head of the U.S. church. YouTube seems to have cancelled his account. Not the typical American church leader. Yet this church is presented as "At the core of tRumpism," along with someone from California who wants to revive confederate traditions or something. According to the narrative. This is a documentary video by VICE from 2018.
The Rod of Iron Ministries was formed as the result of a dispute between Hyung Jin Moon and his mother Hak Ja Han following the death of Sun Myung Moon. This led Hyung Jin and his wife to separate from the Unification Church and establish an offshoot sect named World Peace and Unification Sanctuary Church in early 2013. The church, also called Rod of Iron Ministries, officially opened in January 2015.[2] In 2015, Hyung Jin Moon began renouncing his mother as the 'Whore of Babylon', saying she was no longer a "True Mother". He also began teaching that Hyun Shil Kang, one of Sun Myung Moon's first disciples, was now True Mother instead, as his spirit had married her.[2] He and his wife Yeon Ah Lee also began assuming the titles 'Second King' and 'Second Queen' respectively.[3] Hyung Jin Moon is supported by his elder brother Kook-Jin (Justin) Moon, who effectively serves as assistant pastor of the church. He also owns Kahr Arms, a small arms manufacturer.[4]
New: Trump's team is preparing to fundamentally reshape America under their "Project 2025" plan if he wins in November. Their first priority: Declaring America is now a "Christian nationalist" country.Includes a link to a Politico article about "Trump allies". They were converted into "Trump's Team" in the tweet.

I keep forgetting the guy's name, the WEF fella who looks like Nosferatu... there's the famous Ted Talk clip of him talking about how humans don't have rights. If you cut one open, you see blood and guts, but you don't find any rights.
As I've said many times, EVERYTHING we're seeing is compatible with the grand conspiracy theory: They're meaning to kill off humanity. Most of it. Their goal is a planet with 500-800 million people, with all of them still around to rule the masses that remain.
This is coming. I don't doubt it at all. People who don't keep this in mind, don't really understand what they're doing.

Heh. If google really wanted to do something useful they'd create an alpaca-to-Indian-peacock conversion algorithm.

Male peacocks... weigh 4–6 kg (8.8–13.2 lb)
||Alpacas are one of the smallest members of the camelid family, and a mature alpaca will usually weigh between 120 and 185 pounds. This is much smaller than their Llama cousins, which makes alpacas easier to handle and manage.
As is the case with llamas, there is no significant difference in size between male and female alpacas.||

Yeah, I hate this shit. In a representative democracy, political preferences based on religion is not a 2nd class opinion, expected to step to the back of the bus. However I know, I know, whether my opinion is based on divine revelation or picked up from conversation at the bar, or force fed me by NPR or the New York Times.

Lindsay is wrong - it's an op, but the people behind it very much believe it is true. Because they are aligned with evil, anything that comes from God terrifies them.
Being an atheist, Lindsay has no effective answer, which is to be found in speaking confidently and fearlessly in the language of the true faith, not their weird, distorted version of it.

Stupid media tools. Two words, Marxism-Leninism. "Class consciousness" and class struggle is not possible in a well adjusted, prosperous society, in which anyone can attain - such as ours. Society based on democratic principles, natural rights that come from God, and so on. So they are constantly trying to create a sham class struggle - by race, by gender. Race had its moment in 2020, now fizzled out a bit, since all the major cities are now trashed completely. Gender? Massive pushback and good old market forces are pushing back. SO, now what ? Religion !! Opium des Volkes ! Tell me another....

That's their goal, but operationalizing it is tricky because they are so far removed from normal humans that they have no idea how to control their own guards.

No, we need to be who we are, people of faith. I guarantee you, if you recite the Archangel Michael prayer to one of these folks, they will crap themselves with fear.
For too long Christians tried to be "nice." Corrupt liberal theologians (not political liberalism, that's different), told us that we had to be "nice" to spread the faith, and that the ONLY message we could use was that of love. Acceptance. Tolerance.
No reference to hell, or hating sin, or calling people to repent. That vocabulary is needed now more than ever, and I'm seeing a lot of it in Catholic circles. My soft, liberal college town parish is now talking about hell, its reality, and how to avoid it.

I think it's very likely we've not seen their Final Solution. We're seeing all the preparatory actions, and even some of the dress rehearsals, but not the real show.
Whatever that's going to look like, I don't expect it to be goose stepping troops, or any other show of force that will look like what the nazzies used.
My best guess is The Big One will be another plandemic, but even that's just a guess. It almost seems too obvious at this point.

Heidi Przybyla is either evil or historically illiterate, and maybe both.
Here is her brag page on her personal website, where every single accomplishment she cites is misstated, weirdly conspiratorial and just plain wrong.
And, yet, she is celebrated (at least enough to appear regularly on TV and get a writing gig with Politico).
She was first to obtain a memo to the FBI and text messages showing then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh was communicating with former classmates in advance of sexual harassment claims that later became public. A 2022 investigative report on RNC poll worker recruitment in Michigan led the state to establish a "code of conduct" for poll workers. She was the first network correspondent to break, on air, the shape of the impeachment articles against President Trump. Przybyla obtained internal Dept. of Health and Human Services communications showing the Trump administration's abrupt cancellation of a federal program to prevent teen pregnancy was directed by political appointees over the objections of career staff. Days later, HHS agreed to pull back its earlier decision to cancel the program outright.

Nationalism, llamaism, bla-blah-ism , whatever ! IT DOES NOT MATTER. They are birthing "collective struggle" man! then they will move that collective mass any which way they want. It works doesn't it ? So far on a short-term basis. And it will continue to work, unless it is called by its real name.

That's their goal, but operationalizing it is tricky because they are so far removed from normal humans that they have no idea how to control their own guards. The see everyone as cattle, so they assume when they order the cops to fire on children, they'll mindlessly obey. They've forgotten about Christmas in Romania, 1989.

For too long Christians tried to be "nice." Corrupt liberal theologians (not political liberalism, that's different), told us that we had to be "nice" to spread the faith, and that the ONLY message we could use was that of love. Acceptance. Tolerance.
No reference to hell, or hating sin, or calling people to repent. That vocabulary is needed now more than ever, and I'm seeing a lot of it in Catholic circles. My soft, liberal college town parish is now talking about hell, its reality, and how to avoid it.

It's hard to convince some people not to take the bait, when they spend so much time and effort munching on it.
It's not unlike, because it essentially is the same human impulse, that when you say on a webzine like this "don't feed the trolls," many people can't help it.

Interestingly enough the “hippie chick” was a fairly well known paid actress, at least in the biz, nothing organic about that. Completely staged.
Would be a good thread here. The entire 60s “Hippie” thing was an OP. Brought to you by the usual consortium of alphabet agencies, Henry Luce and Time-Life.
follow the networks, Did you know. Buffalo Springfield played on Mannix? For a “counter culture” movement they sure had a lot fucking culture bankrolling them.
Tim Leary and the rest of those clowns were painfully obvious assets, playing a script.

I'm not trying to be a jerk, but point out to whom? The left? People who think like I do? What's the point. The left won't listen, and people who think like I do, don't need to be persuaded.
The main point is not to get lost in the weeds arguing substance with these people. Find a different way to send your message.
But that's just a restatement of my question. What other methods? I think I'm reasonably good at argumentation, but if not that, what else?

My siblings and I had a bit of conversation the other day about what it means to be "consevative." We did not come up with a good answer; good conversation about topics, personal experiences, etc., but we all missed the point. The point is that the moment you allow yourself to believe that rights are granted only through earthly sources, you become subject to the master/slave menrality. For most of us, that means serfdom. I am not relugious, but I know my right to live is not based on congress, the WEF, the idiot Supreme Court, etc. That is what "conservative" means.

In certain circles, very much so. Again, my worm's eye view (fenced in by choice) is that the Catholic community around here is experiencing a remarkable resurgence. The animus seems to be drawing people in, wondering what's so awful about Catholics. The Diocese has seen a surge in school enrollments and instead of closing parish schools, there's enough demand to open new ones. It's crazy.
I've not seen the numbers from Ash Wednesday, but last year it was nuts, people driving to Mass in white-out conditions to announce their faith to the world. We have a surge of religious women, and our seminaries are filling up again with ardent, orthodox men - many inspired by Tolkien, if you can believe it.

Freedom of conscience genuinely terrifies some people. As you see here there are plenty on the Left who do NOT want to deny God - they want to REPLACE God with the State. And government has LONG been AT WAR with civil society, which in part is formed by churches and synagogues and other houses of worship. (See, government wants you to turn to them for EVERYTHING, which you can’t do if people can turn to charity.)

No, they are filled with fear, that's why they lash out so often. They are high on their own supply, and the more power they get, the more terrified they become that they will lose the slightest piece of it.
I know a liberal woman who actually told me she was considering fleeing Michigan - MICHIGAN! because it was so close to fascism. We have abortion as a constitutional right, Dem majorities in both houses, they control all the top elected offices and the Supreme Court, but there's still danger everywhere.
They are moral and physical cowards who lash out to try to keep themselves together.

It brings up an important target of this push that Lindsay missed. I know from watching the Israeli conflict closely that in recent weeks, Biden and Blinken have completely destroyed their credibility with Jews both in Isreal and America - just yesterday Blinken announced a new political attack on Israeli settlers. (Why bring a contentious issue like that up now, except to help Hamas?) So this is a very cynical play to Jewish voters saying "well you may not like us, but are you gonna vote for those scary radical CHRISTIANS???"

So this is a very cynical play to Jewish voters saying "well you may not like us, but are you gonna vote for those scary radical CHRISTIANS???"
I predict that precisely zero Jews will be persuaded to move to the left by this, while many may move right because of disgust with Biden and all his works, but especially those involving Israel.

Looking at Rotten Tomatoes is out of character for me, but couldn't resist reading a bit about the Rob Reiner film. David French seems to be in it, so you know it's really strange without knowing even a little bit more.
"Rotten" is apt. It's so bad, the site won't let anyone comment on it, and only shoes approved right-think reviews. The Critics Soviet they use give it a North Korean level of popularity.

I see it not as intent but failure. Since the beginning of Obama every political gain they've attempted (achieved or not) has been met with increasing public rejection/skepticism. They, in return,
met the rejection with paranoia by arming agencies which increased skepticism. It started the feedback loop which hasn't stopped. They didn't intend armed conflict they are just not mentally mature enough to accept rejection.

Yes. This gives me great hope, but also fills me with despair. They are so insular, so remote from the world that they cannot comprehend Christians. They only know the parodies they see on TV, where orthodox Christians struggle with being secretly gay, or have affairs, or drink to excess, do drugs, etc.
"Why they're even more messed up than we are!" They openly state that turning to God is because we're too scared to face the world, and it's a sign of weakness.
Thus, they don't know when to stop pushing, but at the same time they are terrified of suffering personal harm. (cont)

One of the left's go-to tactics is the use of "othering." Some time ago that topic was discussed at length here.
It's basically isolating a group of people based on some sort of attribute; skin color, political ideology, religion, gender, etc. and demonizing them based on that attribute.
They're very good at it. The media is a huge factor in magnifying the effects too.
Turning the other cheek with these people will lead to misery and, IMO, eventually death.

(cont) Let me give an example of this.
If you take a liberal and hold them at gunpoint and tell them that you will let them go if they just make a profession of faith, they will do so in a hot minute. They will say anything you want, because they know it's a lie and lying is the smart play.
Afterwards, they will feel smug about how stupid it was and how easily the 'trap' was broken.
They cannot fathom someone will would prefer death to uttering blasphemy or renouncing their faith. The regard those people as dangerously unstable, and they have nightmares about them. They are desperately trying social shaming because that works wonderfully on them. The rising panic is because their bullying tactics are visibly backfiring and they don't know what to do. Thus the fear that they will go kinetic.

Some?? SOME?? idiots !
80% of black population identify as Christian.
Here is more (from Pew): " Most Black Americans identify as Christian, and many are highly religious by traditional measures of belief. For instance, belief in the divine is close to universal among Black Americans, the vast majority of whom say they believe in God or a higher power (97%). And most, when asked about the nature of the divinity they believe in, say it is “God as described in the Bible” (or, if they identify with a non-Christian religion, the holy scripture of that faith)...Among those who identify with a religion, Protestants (73%) are more likely than Catholics (49%) to say religion is very important to them. And eight-in-ten Protestants who attend religious services at least a few times a year say this, regardless of the racial composition of their congregation."

Absolutely it is a religious movement, and it's one in which it's adherents make gods of themselves. They think that is something new - in fact it is very old, and we know that these things always end up the same way - but they do a lot of damage before they get there.

The faceplant by the Reiner movie is evidence of the public's shift in perception, and it does NOT favor the left.
The only thing the left hates more than being ignored, is being laughed at and not feared.

This feels like more of the leftist divisional playbook. You can't let those who disagree with the current regime to label themselves (constitutionalists, freedom-loving). That might attract disaffected blacks, hispanics, union workers...
So give them a divisive label so that we can continue to keep everyone divided and pitted against each other so that they're never strong enough to turn on the regime.

Jordan Peterson is moving towards conversion. His wife will enter the Catholic Church this Easter. She was raised Protestant, fell away and after receiving a terminal diagnosis of cancer. She was supposed to die within months. A friend came to her and offerted to pray the Rosary with her. They did this each day for months and she inexplicably recovered, and was pronounced cancer-free on a wedding anniversary she wasn't supposed to live long enough to see. That was four years ago.
There are two miracles here - most will focus on the cure, but the true one is her conversion.

After a conversation with a professor where he referenced the "Christian Fundamentalist" bogeyman, I recalled the history of the term "fundamentalist" from my experience. My 1979 dictionary says a fundamentalist is someone who believes the foundational concepts in their belief system. Like a fundy Christian believes that Jesus is God Incarnate, He died for our sins, we need to confess our sins and trust Him for our salvation, you know, basic things like that. This is in contrast to some "churches" who teach that your sins are not that bad and you just need to realize what a good person you are deep down inside.
But then the hostage crisis happened and Islamic barbarism intruded upon our national consciousness. The terrorists started being referred to as "fundamentalists".
I think this was an effort by the social engineers to taint Christians with the crimes of the Islamic terrorists. So now fundamentalist Christians are a threat. It's a very vague threat, but people feel it.

The Church has got lots of parts, and Catholic Charities are involved in migrant assistance. It's a tough situation because if you are called to help those in need, it doesn't matter how they got there. I don't doubt that there are elements in the Church who see this as "good for business," but there are also concerns about other people having to get less assistance because of it.
The dark nexus is taxpayer subsidies going to the relief services, and that's problematic because on the one hand, the government wants to hide the scope of the problem and its involvement in supporting it, but on the other it hates giving money to religious charities.

Remember, the Catholic Church has been around quite a long time. They have seen empires, countries and their governments and institutions and borders come and go. They respect a nation and it's government and will pay lip service to it, but The Church looks on them as a passing phase, sometimes a benefit and sometimes a nuisance but The Church is above them and will do what benefits The Church most of all. Since nothing is done to prevent the illegal invaders from invading, The Church sees nothing wrong with helping the "down trodden" and future pew and coffer fillers.

This article is all over the place. Too many loose ends, and too perhapsy. E.g., why didn't they just boost ticket sales for Meathead's movie? It would not have taken much to get it out of the Total Disgrace range, which is where it is.
The tactic will work with some, like my idiot sister who lives in NY (though even she is wavering), but not so many as Lindsay implies.
Frankly, I suspect Lindsay himself of being a grifter.

Yeah, there are a lot of them out there. I'm convinced the Westboro Baptist Church was an op. It was designed to do multiple things. First, create a high-profile caricature of mean, hateful Christians. Second, generate sympathy for gays by showing that the only people opposed to them were inbred Bible-thumping foul-mouthed jerks.
Most importantly, though, it established case law that the right of free speech was more important than religious practice. Yes, you have the right to a funeral Mass, but outsiders can shout blasphemy at you while you do it.

It's the other side of the equation, when old style liberals used to say "everything is political."
Sure. And that was a very successful campaign, to the point where now how many squares you use on the toilet is a political statement.
Now... IS everything an op? I don't know, probably not. For example, Fanny sliding up and down, in and out of her... campaign funds, is probably not an op. Just a shitty person, doing shitty things, and thinking she's entitled to get away with it.
But yeah, let's say everything is, because we're much more often going to be right when we say something's an op.

I tend to look at the hard core Democrats, the real leftists and how they perceive their chosen ideology. It's their religion. They're very, very passionate about it too.
The way they demonize anyone who doesn't subscribe to it is eerily similar to the jihadi's and their devotion to Islam. Mostly the parts about subjugating and/or killing the nonbelievers.

She was quite nice and at a certain point she said if I had further issues to call my branch at XYZ-6661. At that point, knowing how many Blacks are people of faith, I said, "666? I don't think I'm calling that number!"
She laughed as long and hard as I did, my laughter was in her confirmation that she 'got' the joke. She was still laughing as we finished the call. My wife was listening in and she was laughing, too. It was a nice moment that my wife and I still laugh about.

A lefty relative constantly rails against Christians because they don't live up to her standards. We Christians are more interested in God's approval than her approval, for instance. She condemns Christians for not enthusiastically cooperating with the push toward communism and tyranny. In her view, if Christians were good people, we'd be in favor of government wealth redistribution and the invasion of looters. Never mind that the wealth distribution is mostly from the productive class to the ruling class, with a few crumbs tossed to the dependent class. And we're supposed to pretend that every person illegally crossing the border is a sympathetic case.

Commandancy of the The Alamo
Bejar, Feby. 24th. 1836
To the People of Texas & All Americans in the World-
Fellow Citizens & compatriots-
I am besieged, by a thousand or more of the Mexicans under Santa Anna - I have sustained a continual Bombardment & cannonade for 24 hours & have not lost a man - The enemy has demanded a surrender at discretion, otherwise, the garrison are to be put to the sword, if the fort is taken - I have answered the demand with a cannon shot, & our flag still waves proudly from the walls - I shall never surrender or retreat. Then, I call on you in the name of Liberty, of patriotism & everything dear to the American character, to come to our aid, with all dispatch - The enemy is receiving reinforcements daily & will no doubt increase to three or four thousand in four or five days. If this call is neglected, I am determined to sustain myself as long as possible & die like a soldier who never forgets what is due to his own honor & that of his country - Victory or Death.
William Barret Travis.

Christian nationalism.
Hey. Looky here!!!
The left has invented a new term to demonize a segment of society that won't vote for them.
Who the fu*k says they get to be the only ones to invent terms? And who says I have to play along?

I believe that:
Somewhere in Washington DC, in a windowless, below street-level conference room, there is a team of people whose job it is to dream up new buzzwords, catchphrases and memes for the far Left.
Their job is to pervert existing language, while creating new language, that supports the Left's views.
Orwell envisioned this in 1984 with his description of Newspeak, so I'm not making a new observation here.
I believe it is a real thing that people are doing right now.

Actual Christian Nationalists are fruitcake racialists. If you see a black sun with lightning bolt rays, like the arms of a swastika, you're looking at someone who believes the nonsense.
I don't know if they're necessarily violent, but they do tend to worship the State, just differently from your typical Leftists. They like big government programs, but only for citizens. They profess hard work and strong work ethic, and they spout Biblical stuff all the time. Lion imagry, crusader knights in armor festooned with crosses are all over their profiles.
Very similar to average conservatives with a whites only twist.

The 'Nazi' march was so much an op recently. Since we noticed the khaki pants thing, they switched to all black this time. The shirts were all similar, the face coverings the same, the flags all the same size and recently procured. Everything SCREAMED Fed!
It took more then a few dollars to equip that little act. But this is the level of leftist thought in our government and 'law enforcement'. It's a blatant in-your-face level of deceit to sway voters.
It is beyond despicable. It is truly embarrassing to live in a country where so-called members of law enforcement stoop to such reprehensible behavior.

That's because most #conservatives buy into the idea that government solves social end economic problems, so long as the wealth is redistributed by the right people to the right people.
They don't question the 111 year cultural lie that you can get Big Government gibzmedats while retaining Small Government freedoms.
They will always fiddle at the edges about how much, for how long, to whom under which conditions, because they cannot question the underlying premise without shooting their own core belifs in the gut.
Their core beliefs do not start with freedom, but with security and what's in it for them. What's right in front of my face? Not, what are the potential pitfalls of this action?

It was definitely an op.
Phelps was a Democrat, and ran for Kansas Governor and a Senate seat as a Democrat. Obviously he got blown out in the primaries in both cases.

If they are real nazis then they deserve to be doxxed. If they are feds, then they REALLY deserve to be doxxed.
If they are real nazis then it is completely OK by the current established rules. If they are feds, like we all know they are, then we have an even bigger story. How are they going to press charges for assaulting a fed when they are dressed up as nazis?

But certainly, avert your eyes from the fact that the majority of flag-waving, thin blue line authoritarians have a lot in common with their supposed antithetical political enemies. They aren't enemies as much as they are rivals for the confiscated spoils of their neighbors.
And you'd need a gymnasium as large as Kansas to pack them all in, regardless of their views on race.

They are against Christian Nationalism. Therefore they are against God, and our inalienable rights.
Ok. Good to know.

In the interest of steelmanning, there are some people that openly promote themselves as christian nationalists who might be better sytlized as NaChis. I'm thinking of the Doug Wilson aligned folks in particular that push some of their more patriotic sounding ideas but when you dig a bit it turns out they're pretty much rebranded fascists (and I use that in the historical, not pejorative, sense).
Of course, the media is going to associate everyone they can with the worst public example they can find which isn't the same as identifying the actual problem set.

There was a good thread on this on X tecently. Someone was able to get pictures of a couple of their faces when they were forming up, which they try very hard to keep hidden, and was able to ID them. They weren't technically "feds" but they WERE two very well known Far Left Activists who have involved in things around the country.

Their actions since then indicate that they somehow believed that was really going to be an armed insurrection (maybe because they earned know they earned it), planned to 'lose' the intial skirmish, then brought in the forces held in reserve... but it was a dud in that regard.
Since they invested so much in persecuting an armed insurrection.set-up they are just going with it anyway.

That's because most #conservatives buy into the idea that government solves social end economic problems, so long as the wealth is redistributed by the right people to the right people.
They don't question the 111 year cultural lie that you can get Big Government gibzmedats while retaining Small Government freedoms.
They will always fiddle at the edges about how much, for how long, to whom under which conditions, because they cannot question the underlying premise without shooting their own core belifs in the gut.
Their core beliefs do not start with freedom, but with security and what's in it for them. What's right in front of my face? Not, what are the potential pitfalls of this action?

As I've said many times, EVERYTHING we're seeing is compatible with the grand conspiracy theory: They're meaning to kill off humanity. Most of it. Their goal is a planet with 500-800 million people, with all of them still around to rule the masses that remain.
This is coming. I don't doubt it at all. People who don't keep this in mind, don't really understand what they're doing.

That's their goal, but operationalizing it is tricky because they are so far removed from normal humans that they have no idea how to control their own guards. They see everyone as cattle, so they assume when they order the cops to fire on children, they'll mindlessly obey. They've forgotten about Christmas in Romania, 1989.

Myself? I am 99.9% deist. What keeps me from tipping into pure atheism? Who pushed the button? Somehow, my mind can not cope with the idea of eternity. "Deep time" makes me nervous. I am married to a very religious Catholic. (His mother was Irish.) I have never interfered with his religious beliefs and practices. He raised all four of our kids to be good Catholics. I never said a word. Every now and again, out of earshot of the kids, I've been known to take a shot at the Catholic institution or various popes. (If he doesn't like it, he shouldn't have married a medieval historian.)
I simply don't understand the people who go into raging fits over Christianity.

It requires the commission of the Sins of Pride, Anger, Envy and Theft - all while masquerading as compassion for the poor.

Does deist mean you believe in, or are accepting of the idea of, a prime mover but not a personal god interested in your welfare?

'They are moral and physical cowards who lash out to try to keep themselves together.’
I agree with you about the left. They’re also without honor and generally putrid people.
The mystery to me is how they acquired so much power.

I know one thing; Protestants on Twitter aren'tbring anyone to their religion. They attack any sort of religious belief and insist that reading the Bible is all you should do. One argued with me that Jesus never laughed. They hate The Chosen. They hate the Virgin Mary in particular. And they have no understanding that the Catholic Church was the original church.

Debate or discussion regarding leftism really needs to start with the understanding that it is also an organized religion and it functions accordingly. I'm in the awkward place that I see the cult doing obvious cult stuff but lack the tools to engage in what is ultimately a matter of human spirituality. James Lindsay's probably in a similar place, which is probably why his recommendation is to flip the table.
That African Muslim-turned-atheist-turned-Christian lady whose name escapes me probably knows how to deal with the church of cultural Marxism better than anyone.

Eh, this whole Christian Nationalism foofaraw from the left seems to me to mostly be about-
keeping the Jewish vote on the plantation.
This is exactly the same as Biden's "they gonna put y'all back in chains" nonsense a few years ago.
The Democrats know they're kicking one of the greatest support groups right in the nuts with their Nazi-Hamas style rhetoric and actions. But, they don't care.
They think their Jewish voters are so stupid that they're going to run right back to them. And, unfortunately, they may be right. I don't know.
I can't believe people fall for this kind of obviously stupid crap, but they do. Maybe it's like some kind of brain security blanket to fall into a lame-ass belief even if it runs counter to reality because it's a fluffy, huggable lie of yore.
Y'all will notice the Christian Nationalism stuff really got fired up after the Oct 7 attack. I don't think it's any deeper than that.
If it works then they'll keep using it and then it may become something.

That's a bit of a clue as to what is the correct, true religion. If Jesus Christ was really just some rabbi that got on the wrong side of the Sanhedrin and the Roman Empire, why the hatred of Christianity? Especially since Jesus instructs his followers to love their neighbors as they love themselves.

And I do think that is an op too. Can't have Christians set aside the differences and come together on the points they agree on.
I watched an interview with Tammy Peterson. It was impressive. Jordan has known her since she was eight. I saw his interview too. She told him she would be cancer free on their anniversary and that's exactly what happened.

That's the lefts uncancel-able hero. It should be a warning to all Blacks. You're being used in furtherance of some goal and it's not about you - who they in reality look down upon.

261 I've seen deism defined as "There might be a god, but what's he done for me lately?
But I am not 100% deist. As I said in my first post, I have a problem with eternity. I also have a problem with something being created from nothing. That's the hallmark of the Enlightenment -- the realization that everything was created from something other than sheer air. The prime example of that is maggots. Before the invention of the microscope, the fly eggs were not seen, and when the maggots burst out of their egg shells and began devouring whatever mama fly had laid them, it was taken as irrefutable proof of spontaneous generation. But the microscope and a developing split between the Church and education changed that.

at least starting with the Reagan administration, the right half of the Deep State was able to fundamentally divert the purpose of a President's mission, from left leaning Big Government to right leaning Big Government, and it's always been thus, ever since, when one administration hands over the reins to the other.

"Actual Christian Nationalists are fruitcake racialists. If you see a black sun with lightning bolt rays, like the arms of a swastika, you're looking at someone who believes the nonsense"
You're thinking of white nationalists. Unlike "Christian nationalists," they actually exist but typically keep to fediverse servers and Dlive. They're also either firm atheists or LARP as Norse/Germanic pagans because "blah blah blah muh white traditions WE WUZ VIKINGZ". And if you don't encounter a kooky Odinist even just once a month, then you have a firm grasp of precisely how much power they weild. (Read:Nada)

The Harvard Crimson daily college paper had an article a Year ago March 30, 2023 by Ellie Ashby 'The Golden Cross and the Golden Eagle" harping about how many alumns and then President Abbott L. Lowell were deciding how to memorialize the 373 dead Harvard students, alumni, staff from WWI when they came up with Memorial Church with its very touching memorial room (and later, after WWII they carved all the names of the heroic dead by Class Year into the south wall of the nave). She complained, as did the NYT at that time in 193, that it was inappropriate to have a protestant chapel be the memorial. But Lowell and others prevailed to say that these young heroes sacrifced all to save civilization. Ashby then complained that the lectern for the reverend up the dais was a carved gilded eagle. She, along with Reiner and other Christophobes and idiots, did not understand the symbolism of the eagle in regard to being (from Revelations) the symbol for St. John the Evangelist (with St. Mark the lion, and St. Matthew the man and St. Luke the bull). So this "CHRISTIAN NATIONALISM IS BAD" has been brewing for at least 12 months or more. Any religious in the Public Square is anathema to them.
