Why all good Americans must be afraid of "Christian Nationalists"At the end of yesterday's The Week In Woke post (don't comment on old threads), Ace wrote about a bit on MSNBC: Watch the leftwing authoritarian Marxist media create the Narrative in real time: 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: Now what? 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. On February 15, Lindsay wrote a long tweet demonstrating some of the ways the media is treating "Christian Nationalism" 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. 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 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. 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 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. . . 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? What's in the Center Left's Social Media and the MSM? Via J.J. Sefton on Wednesday, John Nolte wrote: Like all Rob Reiner movies, Rob Reiner's documentary, God & Country: The Rise Of Christian Nationalism, didn't just tank at the box office, it was humiliated. 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." . . 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? I saw this on the social media page of an ordinary, not too far left citizen: At the core of tRumpism I have cropped the following photos to emphasize the essentials and remove the California license plate number from the car in the second photo (didn't wanna dox anybody), but they were originally posted side by side: To me, the original photos suggested that the car (and its message) were closely connected to the church advertised in the sign. But maybe not: 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] 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] 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 video is rather dramatic, in an understated way. Does Biden think that he will need F-15s to defend against this group and their guns? This tweet must also be very scary to some people, from February 20: New: Trump's team is preparing to fundamentally reshape America under their "Project 2025" plan if he wins in November. Includes a link to a Politico article about "Trump allies". They were converted into "Trump's Team" in the tweet. See what he did there?
Tom Smothers and a Hippie Girl Hope you have something nice planned for this weekend. This is the Thread before the Gardening Thread.
Last week's thread, It may be confusing to watch the press for the next few months Comments are closed so you won't ban yourself by trying to comment on a week-old thread. But don't try it anyway.
