Is Christian Nationalism The Solution To The Frailty Of Liberalism?<\/span><\/p>\n

Conservative movements are often depicted as unyielding and uncompromising; dangerously incapable of adaptation when new ideas come to light. <\/strong>This image of the political right is rooted in a number of misconceptions. In reality, modern conservatives are often far too compromising \u2013 Far too willing to go along to get along. None of us wants to be seen as a dictator.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most important and defining characteristic of conservatives (at least in the US) is a regard for freedom, but ONLY freedom that is tempered by responsibility. When leftists (or libertarians) scrutinize the conservative ideal they usually reach back around 50 years to the days of evangelical censorship \u2013 The attempts to shut down the porn industry, temper the gay agenda in media, warn about satanic references in movies and violence in video games.<\/p>\n

This was the era of the Christian \u201cbusybody\u201d and a lot of people made fun of them for it.<\/strong> To be clear, they were wrong in some instances, but as our current predicament in the west proves, they were right about many things, too.<\/p>\n

The supposed balance to the evangelicals was Liberalism. Most liberals today are certainly not the staunchly individualist and freedom minded people they once were. In fact, the majority of them joined woke activists without question or kept their mouths shut while the far-left pulled a speed run into Orwell\u2019s 1984.<\/p>\n

Perhaps in a desperate attempt to save their ideology from losing all relevancy, some liberals slipped over to the center and criticized the woke mob. Most of them didn\u2019t have the balls to jump into the culture war until a few years ago. Those of us in the conservative sphere had already been exposing the existential dangers of post-modernism, futurism and luciferianism for decades.<\/p>\n

Centrist liberals say they want to temper the political left\u2019s addiction to Marxism and Communism. As recent events have proven, they are simply not up to the task of controlling their political cousins. <\/strong>The woke movement spread like a cancer throughout the entire liberal body and they bowed in fealty. The only thing that stopped the rot was the right wing finally taking a stand and going on the offensive.<\/p>\n

With conservative principles currently gaining momentum there is a chance that America could actually turn back the clock on mores and social cohesion to a time when traditional values were held in much higher regard. This can only be a good thing in my opinion, but it requires a reconsideration of our concept of personal liberty. Maybe some behavior needs to be reined in? Maybe total unchecked chaos and limitless individualism is a bad thing?<\/p>\n

Liberals warn that conservatives are gaining too much power after the success of MAGA in last year\u2019s elections and therefore we must be kept in check. Their argument? The woke left is beaten, but now the world must put a leash on the \u201cwoke right\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The \u201cwoke right\u201d label in itself is a rather remedial and silly attempt to divert popular discussion away from traditional values (a development that hasn\u2019t taken place in the US in a long time). Morals, nobility and responsibility might become \u201ccool\u201d again, and liberals simply can\u2019t have that.<\/p>\n

They argue that their way (a continued idealization of individualism without taking inherent narcissism, psychopathy and the mentality of mobs into account) is the best way. However, we have seen where liberalism without boundaries ends. The cult of chaos (wokeness) is simply a natural extension of the liberal ideal. They demand an end to ALL restrictions, even the restrictions of objective truth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They want total open multicultural expansion, unfettered freedom to interpret biology and morality according to subjective preference, unchecked sexual deviancy, no consequences whatsoever for their actions. Liberals are not as far from this end of the spectrum as they pretend. They don\u2019t like cultural structures and rules either. They don\u2019t like collective limitations (unless they control those limitations). They don\u2019t even believe in evil; they only believe in circumstances.<\/p>\n

Conservatives now stand atop the fray of the culture war and many of us are suggesting that, in order to prevent the nightmare of wokeness (or something even worse) from ever happening again, we might need to instill some enduring rules of social conduct. The liberals in turn are freaking out. They especially seem to despise Christian Nationalists who want to bring America back to an era of carefully defined moral order.<\/p>\n

A decade ago I might have agreed with this concern, at least in part. I\u2019m not fond of the idea of a theocracy in which the church rules the state. I also agree that most people have a conscience outside of biblical teaching (If we didn\u2019t then humanity would have gone extinct long ago).<\/p>\n

That said, Christian Nationalism does not require theocracy, and if you do have a conscience then you should already be in agreement with most Christian fundamentals anyway. Living in a society where Christianity is more widely embraced wouldn\u2019t make any difference for you. It would only be incompatible if a person harbors post-modern delusions that view Christianity as the enemy. If that\u2019s the case, you shouldn\u2019t be living in America anyway. All you have to do is go elsewhere.<\/p>\n

I think liberals need to acknowledge that they are a product of a very narrow moment in time and that time is fading. For most of American history Christianity was the preeminent cultural compass. The US was always Christian and nearly all of our leaders were Christian. America has in fact always been a Christian nation and Christian Nationalism was the norm. Christians are still the majority today (62%) despite the endless negative campaign to shut them down.<\/p>\n

As recently as the 1990s, over 90% of all Americans<\/a> identified as Christian.<\/strong> Things have only changed in the past 30 years, and they have done so dramatically to the negative.<\/p>\n

In light of the unfettered horrors of wokism I\u2019m increasingly convinced that Christian doctrine is a necessary firewall designed to filter out otherwise malicious ideological malware. If the progressives (and their liberal counterparts) are not kept in check by someone, then the woke march could repeat by the next generation.<\/p>\n

So, what is to be done?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The underlying debate is this \u2013 Should one group define western culture above all others and defend it against existential threats. Are Christian Nationalists that group? I would say yes to both questions, because of America\u2019s spiritual history and the fact that there\u2019s no other viable alternative. Do we continue to allow liberals to anoint themselves the arbiters of American culture? Or, do we try something different?<\/p>\n

Is this hard-right position also \u201cwoke right\u201d? The term \u201cwoke right\u201d is often linked back to Kevin DeYoung\u2019s 2022 review of Stephen Wolfe\u2019s book The Case for Christian Nationalism. In his article entitled \u201cThe Rise of Right-Wing Wokeism\u201d<\/a> he argues that:<\/p>\n

\u201cBesides trafficking in sweeping and unsubstantiated claims about the totalizing control of the Globalist American Empire and the gynocracy, Wolfe\u2019s apocalyptic vision\u2014for all of its vitriol toward the secular elites\u2014borrows liberally from the playbook of the left. <\/em><\/p>\n

He not only redefines the nature of oppression as psychological oppression (making it easier to justify extreme measures and harder to argue things aren\u2019t as bad as they seem), he also rallies the troops (figuratively, but perhaps also literally?) by reminding them they\u2019re victims. \u201cThe world is out to get you, and people out there hate you\u201d is not a message that will ultimately help white men or any other group that considers themselves oppressed\u2026\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

\u201c\u2026If critical race theory teaches that America has failed, that the existing order is irredeemable, that Western liberalism was a mistake from the beginning, that the current system is rigged against our tribe, and that we ought to make ethnic consciousness more important\u2014it seems to me that Wolfe\u2019s project is the right-wing version of these same impulses.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

While DeYoung\u2019s analysis seems to be coming from a sincere place and he does defend Christian culture as an important part of American life, his analysis requires a certain level of ignorance to stay afloat. Liberals and left leaning Christians refuse to consider one important factor:<\/p>\n

Just because you\u2019re paranoid doesn\u2019t mean they\u2019re not out to get you.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The entire premise behind the notion of the \u201cwoke right\u201d requires that none of the threats above prove to be real. That there is no globalist conspiracy to destroy the west and Christianity. That the subversion of conservative principles is imagined. That there is no white replacement in the US and Europe. That conservatives are not being oppressed and that tribal organization against our attackers is unwarranted or impractical.<\/p>\n

DeYoung (and most liberals) prefer passive Christianity. If Christians had thought like DeYoung in the Middle Ages, the entire west would have been wiped off the face of the Earth by Muslim invaders centuries ago. Instead, they took direct action to save themselves. The issue is not even particularly nationalist in origin, it\u2019s only that nations are the easiest barrier to rally and defend. At bottom, Christians must at times act to prevent their own erasure.<\/p>\n

Wokeness is largely about false witness<\/strong> \u2013 Leftists claim they are being oppressed when they are provably not. The political right cannot be woke because the western world and Christianity are indeed under constant attack. This is not debatable.<\/p>\n

In Europe today, the war on Christians and conservatives (or populists) is evident and it is undeniably systemic. Europeans have been under siege by engineered mass immigration from the third-world. Most of the migrants come from places (Islamic) that despise Christianity and view personal liberty as an aberration or heresy. The governments of France, Germany, England and Romania are actively imprisoning right leaning political opponents and silencing them online, all in the name of liberal democracy.<\/p>\n

In the US, woke zealots and the global elites have used everything from mass censorship to medical tyranny to mob violence to shut down and terrorize the political right.<\/strong> The Biden Administration made multiple public proclamations declaring conservatives a domestic threat to democracy. We were accused of being insurrectionists. We were painted as terrorists, and all we did was ask questions and demand truthful answers. This isn\u2019t an exaggerated tale of victimhood conjured up for sympathy, it\u2019s just the facts.<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/p>\n

The debate over Christians and conservatives taking direct action instead of waiting around for the next crisis reminds me of a fascinating film directed by Bill Paxton called \u2018Frailty\u2019. If you haven\u2019t seen it then I recommend doing so before I spoil it for you here.<\/p>\n

In the movie, Bill Paxton plays a father with two sons living a relatively normal life as a devout man with a good heart. One day, he approaches his sons with a terrifying tale: He was visited by an angel from heaven that told him he has been chosen for a mission to destroy evil. The evil, he says, is enacted by demons that take the form of human beings. He claims that God has demanded that he and his sons remove these demons before they do anymore harm.<\/p>\n

The youngest son believes his father without question and in full faith. The older son does not and asserts that the man might be going dangerously insane.<\/p>\n

What follows is an escalating conflict between father and son as Bill Paxton begins to kill the people he believes are demonic. When he touches them, he says he can see the crimes they\u2019ve committed. The older son refuses to participate in the murders and tries to sabotage Paxton\u2019s efforts. Finally, Paxton accuses his oldest of being a demon as well. The boy eventually kills his father in order to stop the murders.<\/p>\n

Plot Twist: Bill Paxton really did receive a vision from God. He really was killing demons, and his eldest son was also a demon the whole time.<\/p>\n

Liberals who perpetuate the woke right narrative remind me of the oldest son in Frailty.<\/p>\n

They play at being even handed, fighting to keep the scales of power from tipping in either direction. In truth, they are blinded by their own self righteousness and their belief that there is no such thing as evil.<\/strong> The rest of us see it, but if we try to do something about it these same people obstruct and sabotage and accuse us of \u201cbecoming monsters to defeat the monsters\u201d. They allow the sparks of woke chaos to survive.<\/p>\n

Should western civilization be allowed to discriminate? <\/strong>Should we be able to refuse to associate? Should we have the right to be tribal (like everyone else) and deny entry to malicious cultures and ideologies? Is our heritage valid and enduring? Is Christian Nationalism the solution to the woke luciferian agenda? It seems to me that the elites want conservatism dead so badly that it must be a threat to them.<\/p>\n

We ARE fighting demons, and a culture without a spiritual consensus is a dying culture. <\/strong>Christian Nationalism was the natural default of American society for centuries. Many people who are not Christians are still perfectly capable of living and thriving within such a society as long as they don\u2019t try to tear it down. The Overton Window has merely been rigged so far to the left that any return to the old standard sounds like madness; it is in fact the most sane thing we could possibly do to save our country.<\/p>\n
