A tour de force by Dr Joe Boot here. Extremely well worth listening to with concentration. Boot sounds as though he hails from Gloucestershire and has been a Christian minister in Ontario for a long time now.

The picking-apart of Trudeau in the first half is redolent of David Scott's remarks on Fake Nationalist Scotland: the natives are written off as non-citizens because they persist in viewing the nation as an extension of their family and have not joined the revolution.

The second half is striking for Boot's contrasting of Christ's once-for-all accomplishment of salvation for His people ("It is finished") with Critical Theory's "We're still not quite there yet", and for the sketch of a Christian black man in national Canadian media who got fired by his white bosses for having too much of a mind of his own.

One of our subscribers asks,

“Is etymology important?”

Do you want the 10,000-word answer or the 100,000-word answer from me?

“Evangelicals are deeply averse to social-scientific explanations of religiosity and religious change.”

A subscriber who says he is concerned about using language precisely (a concern which I entirely endorse) asked me what the specific connection with Nazism was after I referred to the WEF Global Young Leaders programme as “Schwab’s Global Young Führers”.

1. Führer is German for ‘leader’. What I wrote is a mere calque on the WEF programme name.

2. Everyone in the English-speaking world, and almost all of the European Continent, knows that to call someone a Führer is to lambast their overweening ambition.

3. Schwab really is a heritage Nazi.
