Christ Before Nation, Christ Before Race, Christ Before Family
Do not allow your righteous anger and indignance to inhibit your way on the straight and narrow...
Look what’s trending, apart from Her Majesty’s passing…
Just as expected what shows up is a lot of anti-antiwhite sentiment in lauding of ethnos.
I suppose there is a subtle difference between full on racial idolatry and noticing thing but when the noticing takes a bit too much of your mental and spiritual being, are you really concerned with the Spirit, or are you more so concerned with a separate insignificant part of your identity? It seems, and this is a really concerning trend, the presence of sub-identities seem to hold just as much, if not more, room than Christ does in the proverbial house of one’s identities. Rather than Christ reigning over the entire home, He is confined to one room, and the rest of one’s own identity seems to be made up of a bunch of other stuff. Clearly this is not a new development, but it is a curious hypocrisy that has risen throughout the Dissident Right that is quite troubling whenever I see Christians do it.
“Oh you just have a problem with us noticing stuff, huh!?” Not really. It’s your almost uniform fixation on thinking the end-all be-all oppressive force being the nature of anti-whitism. This is not wrong, and you are correct for pointing out why this is a destructive force. It seems, however, the rise of racial idolatry (racism, nationalism) all seem to take more important rooms in Christian reactionary school of thought. It’s like mimicking everything your enemy does and expecting you’ll look like a good guy by literally word-for-word repeating what BLM does but replacing “POCs” with “whites.” I’m aware of dialectical differences, but that is not the specific issue. It is the issue of putting race as the mainstay of your ideological thought that will bring your entire movement to shambles. The clear reality is that the complex global paradigm is crumbling, and no matter what you do, you will never shift this into something that benefits “your” people without the logos. What is the end to bringing some consciousness that “white people are persecuted?” It’s quite clear that this is the case. But so is anyone who isn’t a transhumanist liberal. Normies aren’t waking up to some anti-white paradigm. They’re well-aware who is being persecuted, and depending on risk adverseness, they are taking action in the form of parallel economies, societies, institutions, etc. You know who is doing it the most? Conservative Christians.
The eschatological logic of this is that whites will have their own safe spaces, ethnic institutions, etc. Is that really what you are after? A hodgepodge of Amerimutts who have nothing in common LARPing as some sequel to the failures of liberalism? Do you really think you are restoring the same culture that our Anglo-Saxon Episcopalian landowning freemason Founding Fathers had? I am not trying to be resentful, because I am not discounting the righteous indignance. What I am saying is, there is a pretty clear reason why the enemy is so ethnically and systematically evil - because it is all-around Godless. This is why they appeal to ethnos. Do you think doing the same will be good for you and your people? Who are “your people?”
The issue of race is really quite moot. It goes nowhere, achieves nothing, except makes the dialectic muddied. Nationalism and patriotism, in their own way, have acted as this appeal-to-ethnos for decades for whites because whites have been too afraid of noticing, but now it seems it’s all y’all do. It’s like libertarians’ endless commentaries on “muh big government.” And look at where libertarianism has ended up! Nationalism and patriotism are sexy because they, yet again, scratch a particularly itchy spot, but are still of the flesh. They aren’t in protection of the Spirit, and they breed resentment. There is no tradition of man that is reflected in Heaven, right? Am I missing something? Maybe I am, but all I continue to see on the Right is appeals to the same exact moot points that BLM is appealing to. If you want some ecclesiastical unity, not in some Catholic integralist way, but in a way that actually unites people of a Church to act in accordance to the scripture, that will provide a much better world for you and “your people” than appealing to race and nation.
America is quite obviously not a nation. White America is obviously not a nation. You are doing nothing by trying to appeal to every last dime-a-dozen identitarian mantras imaginable. The only spiritually fruitful uniting factor in all of this noise is Christ. Act accordingly.
Gonna go remove the log from my own eye now.
They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.
Acts 2:42
Awesome Post! Thank you.
Good post on Lew Rockwell today.
If man was made for the purpose of living in accord with the natural law, shouldn’t he know the natural law? Why would God forbid them from discovering that which He would also hold them accountable? St. Gregory of Nazianzus offers an answer:
He gave him a Law, as a material for his Free Will to act upon. This Law was a Commandment as to what plants he might partake of, and which one he might not touch.
One law was given, one prohibition. Just one.
This latter was the Tree of Knowledge; not, however, because it was evil from the beginning when planted; nor was it forbidden because God grudged it to us…Let not the enemies of God wag their tongues in that direction, or imitate the Serpent…But it would have been good if partaken of at the proper time, for the tree was, according to my theory, Contemplation, upon which it is only safe for those who have reached maturity of habit to enter; but which is not good for those who are still somewhat simple and greedy in their habit; just as solid food is not good for those who are yet tender, and have need of milk.
Consider the statement: “…it is only safe for those who have reached maturity of habit to enter….” Does a baby know the natural law? Does a child? Are they ready for it? No. In an immature state, we offer rules – don’t touch that, don’t go there, don’t hit your brother. We instruct them to say thank you, be courteous, share things.
We develop, we train, we show by example. Further, as maturity is reached, the inherent truth of natural law is discoverable and discovered. But leave a child to this – without any explicit training – and chaos will ensue.
Man was to have access to this knowledge when he was mature enough to understand it. As man could not even obey the milk of the simplest command to obey God regarding one tree, he certainly was not yet mature enough to handle the solid food of the natural law.
