Not only is the meme accurate, one of the glorious things about our Lord is that He wouldn't have it any other way. -

Speaking of Babel, people need to understand that it is an act of wickedness and disaster equal to if not worse than the fall in Eden.
Under the rule of Nimrod, mankind took its own side. God had told their ancestors to spread over the earth after the great Flood, and they responded by building Babel and the tower so that this would not happen. And if God responded by judging them? Well their earliest memory of His wrath was a flood, so their tower was designed to keep them safe in case the rains started again.
Babel was the birth of the second enemy of the Christian: the World. Organized humanity which tries to reach divinity by collective action, political accomplishments, and ingenuity. The Babel spirit instilled in the hearts of humanists says "we shouldn't need to rely on God this much. We shouldn't have to pray for mercy and good harvests, or ask for forgiveness. We shouldn't have to pick between God and the devil: let us forge our own path."
It was the introduction of an entirely new kind of evil.
The devil himself must have been surprised and delighted by this development. See, the devil wants most people to just rebel against God individually. He and his demons can't tempt everyone in the same way at the same time after all. But the innovation of Babel showed him that humanity takes easily to leadership: hierarchy organizes people and reduces a lot of the devil's legwork. One tribal chieftain might succumb to temptation and lead a few dozen or a few hundred people to apostasy. But get empires together with unified languages, currencies, ideologues and great leaders, and you can send millions upon millions to hell. Emperors and presidents are his favorite people now.
Babel was intended to be mankind taking his own side, rebelling against God in a novel way. What Nimrod did not realize was that in practice it was just humanity's greatest gift to satan, permitting him to exercise even further control over the levers of damnation.
Globalism, especially global managerialism, is the modern manifestation of this great evil in our history. It does the same things, functions the same way, and leads to the same disastrous consequences. -

Old Testament typology example.
Exodus:
God delivers the children of Israel by the death of the firstborn, and they escape slavery by crossing the Red Sea. Then they begin their wanderings until they are finally brought to the Promised Land.
The life of the Christian:
God delivers us by the death of His only Son, and we receive this by Baptism. Then we truly begin our sojourn here on earth until Christ returns or we are called to be in Heaven. -

James White saying no one can disciple "Nazis."
I've been doing it for ten years, shithead. Get on my level.
I hate tooting my own horn, I really do. Y'all know I'm not a braggart. But with far more experience discipling "Nazis," I can confidently say they are human beings with real souls who should be cared for just as much - if not more - than James White's pet Muslims. -

@WeissenSocken88 Still possible, but two things:
1. Mutilating yourself for...cyborg legs? Homie, you understand that in the Current Year they'd require you to be hooked up to data/wifi, get updates, etc., or else you couldn't walk.
2. At the Resurrection, you'll have your old legs back, so it's at best temporary. -

What ought to be done about this? How do we prevent it? Well on the individual level you and I can do very little. Even if you think I'm wrong about my prognosis, it remains that it will be true for some and you should be on guard lest it happen to you. How do we go about preventing this?
First, if you are on the Dissident Right like myself, start meaning it when you talk about building up alternative institutions and intentional communities. Get plugged into an appropriate group of likeminded men who build you up. Second, any good political movement starts at home, so think smaller while not leaving the bigger picture behind. Helping shape the trajectory of your hometown should be just as important to you as knowing what's going on in the middle east.
Second, regarding politics, instantiate yourself as an individual in control of his own life. Recognize that you will never please the crowd of people no matter how much you throw your life into meat grinder of their judgmental demands. If they have a good idea and you like the cut of what they're saying, fine. But never forget that it is your life, not theirs, to live. We all like to emphasize the collective, and this is perfectly fine! But you are still an individual in that collective, and you have your own lifestyle choices to make; if you are entirely enmeshed into their way of doing things, you will suffer and have no one to blame but yourself.
Third, especially applying to Christians, you need to realize that there is far more to Christianity than politics. It's not about being based or not, even though a Christian polity is objectively more ordered, masculine, and moral than what we have today – it's a good thing to seek! Even so, there is more to this life than banging your head on the political wall. Apply the teachings of the Word to ALL spheres of your life, rather than just this one facet, and you will find yourself standing on the Christ our solid Ground instead of the sinking sands of movementrianism.
Fourth, again applying to Christians specifically, never forget the Gospel. If you can't trust a brick and mortar congregation near you on account of their addiction to the postwar consensus, I completely understand. But instead of sticking your head in the sand and letting the internet devour your soul, go to verylutheran.biz and start up a home congregation; even if it's just you at first, that's OK, the Deacons and I created a solo liturgy for you to use while you're getting started. You need to hear the Gospel and start remembering all the promises given to you in Baptism, and when you have a group then you certainly need the Eucharist. Any neglect in that area, and you're looking at burning out.
Fifth, please keep my words in mind. Others may need to hear it. We might be a cut above, but we are not invincible; tons of people are going to need this advice, and you will be remembered for your compassion if you help a guy who's going through the tough parts. -

I make two predictions:
1. A massive chunk of what is called the Dissident Right today will no longer be a part of the Dissident Right within five years. This is because of two dynamics. First, being part of the movement means getting used to an aggravating slog of impatience, hysteria, infighting, stakesmanship, and loss. People doomscroll through rageporn, purity spiral through internicene fights, and never see good news as good news. Even when something good does happen, the expectations for the aftermath of that small victory never match up to the reality of it. If Trump wins, expect a whole lot of people to jump ship because the dead haven't risen and the New Jerusalem hasn't descended from Heaven on account of his election victory. It'll be even worse after he does a single pro-Israel action in office. Same goes for if harris wins, since that'll mean yet more years of things going south domestically, and the human psyche does not tolerate the same grind forever.
A lot of people are going to depart because the Dissident Right is really, really hard on their guys. Seriously, the moment someone says that something is degenerate everyone has to argue about it until it's taken as a given that you have to abandon it. Oh you like pop music? Degenerate. You like a food with some no-no ingredients? Poisonous hormone disrupters. Oh, you have a nerdy hobby? Soyboy. You like jogging, huh? I guess you don't lift, weakling. The catty control-freak way that the mass of angry kids seeks to police every aspect of their compatriots' lives is going to break a lot of guys. This counts doubly for every loss, with a lot of men questioning whether upbraiding their entire lives was worth it just to please a bunch of anonymous randos online; add the fact that not listening to “degenerate” music doesn't make the migrants go away, and people will inevitably fade into racist libertarianism.
2. A massive chunk of the Christian Nationalist movement will apostatize from the Christian faith within five years. The more hardcore of the membership of that movement have imbibed the viewpoint that something is worth believing only if it is based. Few of them will have studied apologetics seriously, let alone studying the Scripture outside of way to torture various Bible verses to form prooftexts for a political worldview. If someone starts teaching them certain truths from Scripture which they interpret as impacting their vision (for instance, ethnos applying to subdivisions of race more than race itself – remember that Scripture teaches that Ammon is a separate “nation” from their cousin nation Israel), then this will lead them to a decision. Do I do the reasonable thing and adjust my worldview? Or do I jump ship to swim to more based shores? Given how many have switched from theonomy to Roman Catholicism to Orthodoxy to Lutheranism and back to Evangelicalism in recent years, I don't have high hopes for that particular type of personality.
Similarly, there is a de-emphasis on matters of soteriology in Christian Nationalist circles which will lead to much apostasy. This is natural, as the movement is political. Nonetheless, many in the movement reflexively refuse to trust any clergy at all; this is also understandable, as most ministers are about as faithful as a pile of pig shit. But that means a vast amount of Christian Nationalists, who are too institutionally-minded to join the Catacomb Synod, will relegate themselves to being extremely online, where the only things they will hear are Law and doomposting. Just like the Dissident Right as a whole, promises made politically and grand gestures of a bright future, even if they come true, will not make satisfy nor make up for the loss of regularly hearing the Gospel. For such people, living the All Law No Gospel lifestyle is simply untenable; they will either burn out, become hypocrites, or ramp up their efforts until they end up dying of a heart attack at 27 years old. -

@matty That's where balance and wisdom come in. It's good to hate bad stuff, but it's bad to be so mad at everything that you forget how much God loves you, cares about you, and thinks highly of you. -

Btw this applies doubly for the guys that are always justifying righteous anger. I predict half the guys doing that nowadays won't be Christian in five years.
Yep, there's such a thing as righteous anger. No, if you're always angry it's not always righteous. -

Every apostasy is an opportunity for Christians to learn and grow more secure in the faith.
Paul Maxwell, when he left Christianity, said he was glad that he didn't have to be angry anymore. What's interesting is, I know plenty of people who left for the opposite reason: they hated that Scripture tells us not to let the sun go down on our wrath.
What does that tell us?
It tells us that fixation on anger, whether desired or unwanted, is a threat to faith.
Think about it! Are you pissed off all the time?
Maxwell also cited how he didn't want to hate himself anymore. Ah, abother classic symptom of the "All Law and no Gospel" type. Is that you? Are you so fixated on your failures that you forget that God has made you a new creation? That perhaps you aren't the failure you think you are, that God thinks highly of you?
Because He does, and I doubt that Maxwell considered that.
If someone leaves the faith, do not get pissed off at them, but rather fear. If you are not clinging closely to Christ, you may fall in the same traps they fall into. Examine yourself! -
