Christendom was never meant to be liberal. Modern milquetoast professing Christians often sweat fealty to liberalism and modernity above virtue, Truth, justice, duty, and God’s design for mankind. They need to check their priors. The Kingdom of God is much preferable to the Managerial Bureaucracy of Globohomo Man. All Christians recognize that the World is the dominion of darkness, we have been saved from this and brought into the Kingdom of Light. And they also know to judge the fruits of anything, including a society. Yet our Government of Man is clearly leading to evil fruits proliferating and good fruits being choked out, clearly this American government/Western civ is under sway of the Dominion of Darkness. And yet somehow touching the foundations of this rotten house is considered reprehensible? Democracy is not in the Bible, the 19th Amendment in not in the Bible, the United Nations is not in the Bible, secular public schools are not in the Bible, global corporations are not in the Bible, DEI is not in the Bible. These are false idols which no Christian should swear fealty to.

How can you tell that “God is Love” “Love Your Neighbor” “We are all one” etc. Christianity is false? These basic statements are the basic statement myths of modern American globohomo compatible Christianity.

Simple. The story of the Tower of Babel. What did God do? Gave us different languages. For whatever reasons he decided we would not be homogenous. Even in Revelations, nations of people are mentioned.

I personally have changed the minds of some standard Christian nondenominationals simply by saying this.

Here is the thing, the Dissident Right is as a movement still figuring itself out. But the author has priors they assume work because of how they think people on the Right think. They assume the Right to be “Christian” (something they probably don’t understand very well anyway). So they wish to push the Dissident Right into that box.

This is all really about trying to find a holding mechanism for the Dissident Right akin to how Conservatives are held.

That's an excellent position to take. I'll use that in the future. "God obviously does not want us to be a single people, we are to be many peoples."

It's interesting to read this right after writing a suggestion for mainsteam conservatives to co-opt leftist ideas (particularly from Rawls) and recontextualize them for our political goals (many of which are popular with those on the centre-left). I don't see liberalism failing as quickly as this book suggests, but I think that's a good thing. The dissident right is still exploring ideas and arguing amongst ourselves of the worth of these concepts we've rediscovered and created. We need the time to plan and think until we form a cohesive philosophy that can project power.

We've left the era where discussing our ideas is unheard of/taboo and are now in the phase where we're figuring out which ideas will best carry us into the future. that's why I'm working on a series of articles describing 'holistic civilization' so that we have a weathervane to point ourselves toward.

That's a great way to describe the meaning that I was attempting to tease out. Thanks. It really is hard to convey that different peoples can remain fundamentally different under the auspice of the same god. It's taken-for-granted under many modern Christian doctrines that peoples are interchangeable. I see that as a corruption of Christianity by materialistic progressivism. The materialists want to believe that peoples are interchangeable cogs, and so take the position that possession of a divine soul or spark by-definition renders peoples identical. A mans heritage will color his soul through life, and it cannot be swapped for the soul of another people because they are not identical things.
