I wonder how it feels to be Eric Striker, gleefully typing up missives from the Kremlin, in a slovenly apartment in a city built by men whose gods he could not possibly fathom.

When will people stop falling for the trap of thinking the grass is greener on the other side?

It’s strange to see the PopOrthodox (we have some coherent Ortho frens that aren’t so Pop) narrative flip from “we were so terribly subverted by the Bolsheviks and CIA that’s why we floundered in the last century” to “we beat communism” in this thread.

Provided AA is talking about cultural Christianity, I’m with him in his analysis here of what simply is.

Now, for my belief of what should happen, I am advocating not for the church to merely go along with what the state does, but for both sacred and secular authority to be cleansed and set right.

My hometown’s local radio is broadcasting tranny propaganda.

In other news, this is an interesting statistic I just happened across.

Once upon a time, small American communities maintained solid order through the implicit threat that the community could just show up to your house or business one day with pitchforks, shovels, knives, guns, and rope.

If only the present were so just.

I am continually baffled by people on the Right who think Putin is some based anti-imperialist fighting for Western Civilization.

In his recent speech, he didn't just criticize the West for where we've gone wrong in the past several decades, he literally went back to the middle ages in his critiques.

He went on to claim that we Westerners (He specifically blamed Anglo-Saxons) are uniquely evil for our colonialism, racism and exploitation of brown people. Meanwhile everyone ignores that the guy bombed the shit out of Chechenia when they tried to gain independence in the 90s.

I am NOT defending the American regime, but I refuse to pretend that Putin is something he isn't, just because he says some obvious things about sex and gender.

The stream we’ve all been waiting for is happening TOMORROW at 8:00 am CST! I will finally be joined by Christopher Sandbatch to discuss the Dixiecrats and the Party Switch!

We never get told what happens after “Clear Them Out.” For this to work with people, our people, you have to be blinded to or ignorant of the fact that things happen after the current structures are cleared out.

What happens? A vacuum? Traditionalism? Communism? Pagan warlordism? Christian nationalism? Ancapistan/covenants? Holy Roman Empire Pt. II? Post-Soviet Russia?

It is true that most successful revolutions, rebellions, and topplings preached “Clear Then Out” before their victory, but (disregarding the heavy amount of positive vision thrown in every single one of them) the vanguard also 95% agreed on what should happen after and immediately began cementing their control and implementing their vision. While control was being cemented, in all of these occasions the dominant power began purging the less ideologically pure. This happened in Bolshevik Russia, Revolutionary France, basically any successful claimant to a throne (substitute ideological purity for personal loyalty), successful rebellions like the early American republic, and every other topple.

If the based, DR, tightly-organized vanguard of intellectual and organizational elites is to “Clear Them Out,” what is to be expected afterwards? Does clear them out entail removing every potential leftist and communist so that they don’t “steal the power” like the so often happens in revolutions, rebellions, and topplings?

Even if we say we’re the only ones left to assume governance in the end, what happens? How do I know that it won’t be worse?

That last question may seem silly to begin with, but I invite anyone confused to examine human nature, human history, and the persons that are “in the vanguard.” If you do, suddenly the question is worth asking.

To condense the objection:

Sure, “Clear Them Out” may unite people, but what happens after it’s done?

Provided Mr. Sandbatch shows, we will be going live in five!

This ended up being a solo stream, unfortunately. Being as I’ve never done that before, let me know what you thought of it.

Read this thread before all this stuff gets shoved under a rug. 2020-21 was truly an awful and discombobulating time.

A minor (although notable) update to the Confident.Faith podcasts will be coming in about two weeks.

There’s a great irony in anyone claiming to be “right wing” or “traditional” saying, “X failed/was subverted/got conquered so we can’t use it again for that fact.”

Simply put, it has no bearing on the truth or correctness of X.

You can not make this argument and still be a Catholic, Protestant, EO, Pagan, Traditionalist, or an adherent to any of system for the simple fact that, at various points in time, they’ve all completely fell.

To accept this argument is to be either lazy or some form of a progressive.

I don’t understand people being pro Ukraine or pro Russia.

Before start of the conflict back in February, it was clear, common knowledge that western governments and elites were intent on ethnically and culturally obliterating their nations and people.

It was also clear and common knowledge that Russia has been doing this since the empire and especially with the Union (Sortokaudet, purges in Latvia after language reforms, ethnic resettlements all across both the empire and the Union, prohibition on Polish and Lithuanian and the institution of Cyrillic, just to name a couple out of a long list).

In the modern day, you see a growing boldness in the asiatic, Islamic section of the country, perhaps due to the collapsing demographics of Russia.

Even if one side secured total victory, you’re not escaping a government and elites that will gladly destroy your heritage and culture.

If you haven’t heard of him, Giovanni Gabrieli was a great composer.

My brass quartet has used this piece as a prelude in a couple churches now. It’s a very beautiful composition.

I’ll never forget the time my highschool AP world history teacher attempted to convince me that a nuclear exchange could be won
