Food for thought: as paleocons, we should advocate for protectionist trade policies that protect local economies and cultures BELOW the national level. Let me explain. THREAD 🧵.

I wish there was some way to predict this kind of thing.

In the adjacent room, a group of students are taught about the reestablishment of the English Monarchy under the House of Bosh.

POV it's the 23rd century and you've taken the kids to a museum in lovely Manchester to see old battle flags from the Second English Civil War

This man is an LCMS pastor and Concordia Seminary professor. He is also apparently a hireling, because he has little interest in whether his flock stays out of prison. One can preach the gospel just as well in prison, he reasons. Men like this are not a friend of Christ.

“No, I’m not a huge fan of clamping down on immigration laws to try and keep a safer country for my kids or my parishioners.”. Behold, the indomitable boomer.

Anyone who understands the Mosaic law knows that not all of these provisions have one-to-one applications for the civil magistrate in the present day. But to act like reading the Bible turns everyone into Mitt Romney is laughable, to say the least.

The Old Testament says that foreigners should never be allowed to permanently own land in your country, that anyone who tries to worship Vishnu in your nation should be put to death, and that some races shouldn't be allowed inside your place of worship for 400 years.

If we blend all 7.88 billion people on Earth into a fine goo, then we can fit them all in the middle of Central Park and play a Paul Washer sermon over a loudspeaker. If you dislike this proposal, then it is because you hate the gospel and don't want people to be saved.

h/t @legitleavitt, who is currently arguing with you-know-who, the most obtuse so-called conservative in the LCMS.

Lutheran pastors be like

"The Saxon has begun to hate."

Some people change their names to pretend to be one of you. Bettye Naomi Goldstein changed her name to Betty Friedan. Nimarata Randhawa changed her name to Nikki Haley. But Vivek Ganapathy Ramaswamy feels no need to change his name at all. Honestly, that is even more offensive.

I have lit my pipe, and am listening to a 1994 lecture by Sam Francis. First time listening to him, but he was ahead of his time.

"Woke" and "Honey, the banana bread is burning in the oven": EXACT SAME ENERGY. Both function in the same way--they appeal to the speaker’s Special Claim to Knowledge that has a wide range of possible meanings, doesn’t need to be defined carefully, and you can't question it.
