Christ is LORD (christ_is_lord@poa.st)'s status on Thursday, 08-Sep-2022 11:37:18 JST Christ is LORD Listening to a Baptist say that they can't accept the Lutheran view of church history, because if they did they'd have to affirm that 1) slavery isn't literally Hitler 2) women differently image god and aren't equal to men 3) that unbaptised babies don't go to heaven. Best argument for the Lutheran position. Who needs friends when you have enemies like this! -

But that probably didn't even originate with him. Everything else he's written is either a long winded restatement of Hard time > strong men > soft times > weak men. Or its him not accepting that and trying to figure out soft times > hard men, although I think he's now migrated to lifeboat communities -

Yeah, I hadn't heard the term before. I think he's referring to soft times weak men therefore make hard times hard men. Idk
> Conversion
I'll do a full response later today -

Christ is LORD (christ_is_lord@poa.st)'s status on Monday, 22-Aug-2022 18:28:36 JST Christ is LORD @fluffy The conversion of the people within the Roman Empire is a combination of factors.
1. Hellenism, and the further attempts at cosmopolitanism, had the same effect on people as modern globalism. People's social ties and place within society was shattered, leaving them isolated and without meaning.
2. Paganism, or more specifically piety, was already on the decline. Numerous pagans lament that their people are simply going through the motions rather than actually believing in their gods. It became a superstition. Before they became Christians the stopped being pagan first.
3. Christianity is true.
4. Christians wanted it more. The zeal of Christians simply overpowered the Roman Empires ability to destroy it
5. Christianity appealed to all the deficiencies with paganism: lack of purpose, lack of truth, lack of coherent paradigm, lack of kin group, lack of real encounters with the divine -

Christ is LORD (christ_is_lord@poa.st)'s status on Monday, 22-Aug-2022 18:27:09 JST Christ is LORD Neo-masculinity, neo-paganism, neo-barbarism. Neo-spartanism. Neo-antiquity. The basic premise that man today is weak and needs “rewilding”. Same basic idea. But if we are to become Greeks, one should take seriously the question of, “and then one day, for no reason at all, the Greeks converted to Christianity”.

Christ is LORD (christ_is_lord@poa.st)'s status on Monday, 22-Aug-2022 18:27:08 JST Christ is LORD **The Anti Hero**
The anti-hero is the brooding teenage fantasy of being a “secret good guy, who does a little bad things, but for the sake of good”. Everyone thinks about this at age 12, because it’s a stepping stone in trying to come to terms with your own agency as a man in the world. Your relationship to women, you are disgusted and horrified the first time you hold one in your arms and realize that you have total power over her. Part of working that out is imagining that you are a grey jedi, who does a little bit of the dark side, but he’s actually on the good guy’s side. It’s like imagining stopping a school shooting or saving that girl you like in class. Everyone does it. But it’s not enough when you’re older than 20.
Redemption demands total commitment. You can’t have it both ways. The leap of faith is total. You can’t keep a foot on solid ground “just in case“ things go wrong and it doesn't pan out. Redemption is free. Redemption will cost you everything. There is no contradiction.
The reason modern mainstream media sucks is because it’s being written by people with a total lack of commitment to anything. The anti-hero is the lack of commitment crystallized to an archetype. The Hero is total commitment. Gigachad is a hero.
The way this manifests in you is your lack of commitment. “I want a good trad life for YOU, but me, oh no I couldn’t possibly have one.” “I want for YOU to have a loving wife and many children, but me? Oh no I’m beyond redemption, I don’t deserve that, so I can just have a little degeneracy and have sex with floozies and put notches on my belt.” “I want for YOU to be healthy and strong, but me, oh no, I don’t deserve that, so I can just indulge in being fat and eating trash.”
The anti-hero inside you is not this false humility: the anti-hero is pride -

Christ is LORD (christ_is_lord@poa.st)'s status on Thursday, 18-Aug-2022 05:26:48 JST Christ is LORD I know that everyone was begging for another hot take, so I’ll relent and give mine. Apologies for the rant and typos
A while ago I heard on a podcast, from people I respected at the time, that they were starting a political party. Extremely recently they had, I had, we all had denounced party politics as “there is no poltical solution”. When asked directly about this the answers were scattered. It came down to: We should to do something and this is something so we should do it. I was extremely disheartened. It’s a major factor in why I stopped listening to that otherwise great podcast. (That and their insistence to comment on Ukraine rather than having the humility to acknowledge their own ignorance (I treat Gell Mann amnesia extremely seriously)).
Anyways, even now it seems like a waste of time. I’m sure everyone involved is sincere. In sure they’re really trying to do the right things. However, I personally am not going to throw good money after bad supporting a group established on a faulty premise (seeking political solution).
My suspicion is that all of this has grown out of the hard problem of institution building. I am not nearly as successful as the “party” in terms of moobment building, so who am I to talk, but I’ve felt a similar sting. (https://poa.st/notice/AM7ASAfMNuMCBsMPU8). Simply getting racist people in a room isn’t a solution. Defaulting to what you know makes sense, but I refuse to fold like that
Ultimately, at the current time, I perceive the rights inability to offer anything material and inability to build institutional strength as our current greatest threats and obstacles. Like many of the great men of the 20th century we can learn from the left and personally I think more meaningful and achievable solutions will come from:
- streamlining the onboarding process from libertarian to one of us (as opposed to getting spammed 15 year old infographics with star of davids on them) (y’know like actually addressing their priors and explaining how their beliefs are only true in a certain Anglo context)
- documenting, archiving, and teaching the lessons that the big brains have learned (as opposed to having to listening to 600 hours of podcasts to understand an extremely poor explanation of a cliche idea)
- creating guides on diet, history, fitness, family, finance, preparation, networking, etc so that the sad lonely 14 year old incel can be transformed into a useful asset (we should encourage each other to embody and image our beliefs)
- create entertainment content that isn’t explicitly political, but starts with the presupposition of out beliefs (rather than the crap that passes for entertainment these days) (we need to create subcultures that are worth joining on their own merits)
- relentless and brutal engagement with the enemies ideas demolishing and mocking them. Not just “reacts” and “hot takes” on conservative garbage but serious attempts to poach disaffected socialists and anarchists and bring them to our way of thinking (I think this stems from the modern extreme right actually just being very racists Republicans with Nationalist policies, rather than being Nationalist and anti capitalist)
- expand the discussion and offence not just from muh nigger, muh jew, muh two party to actually include issues that affect the common man or reflect our values: memes, essays, podcasts, videos, etc discussing the failure of the powers that be to address soil depletion, plastic in the ocean, no fault divorce, the affects of birth control and formula, the shortcomings of feminism (for women), the value and supremacy of western paradigm and ideas, the oppressive and abusive behaviour of big business, workers plights and rights, etc
- the creation of IRL solidarity networks like seasol that can create change, help local people, and build the strength required for further works
- independent activity beyond sticker drops (terrible ROI) and protests in public, we should instead [FEDPOST]??
Just to drunkenly name a few
Anything that doesn’t attempt to address the actual problems that we face (I don’t mean talk about I mean chip away at) isn’t worth my time. I’m just going to ignore it. Either it will become meaningful enough to warrant later attention or it won’t. We shouldn’t argue with these people, we should shoulder to the boulder until we know who’s right.
Reached the word count, so that’s all you get, lol
