@JohnYoungE Everything you posted is true, and it was known for centuries, yet in the face of the technomaterialist revolution altering the conditions on the ground it proved impotent.

My utterly cynical view, imbibed from naked self interest, has always been that the ultra-pro social culture was a gigantic con job to get me to consent to the draft and other atrocities intended to make me a beast of burden, or worse, a Christ! In that game the losing move for any individual is to consent.

Christianity generates a context where the act of total selfishness is to be selfless - by the simple expedient of generating two phantom realms, one of pleasure, the other of terror.

But it only works if you maintain kayfabe.

Too late now.

@JohnYoungE It's all about skin in the game.

The men who support the old ways are aging out. The 'zoomer revival' is boomer astroturf intended to jumpstart their fading hopes and dreams.

The smart money - trillions of dollars worth - is all-in for materialist life extension, artificial superintelligence, fusion power and nanotechnology.

Kind family men deeply committed to morality have been getting their asses kicked by pragmatists for 400 years.

Next 400 not looking so good either.

Why did Americans become capitalist nomads?

For the money, obviously.

The small comforts of their little towns could not compete with the higher salaries and opportunities on offer elsewhere.

From 1945 to 2010 20% of Americans moved each year.

The stable cultural context provided by the church depends on its members staying put. If over half of them are gone after five years the meshnet disintegrates.

The left believes that fascism is more seductive than Sydney Sweeney... and they're right.

@judgedread @Escoffier Best we can do is a "retreat" that appeals to and caters to mostly women. And the husbands that indulge them.

But, my God. That's a beautiful image.

I understand why men built cathedrals in their time. Same urge.

@Obfuskation Deism itself has been whitewashed by 1776 as the triumph of the current thing revisionism, particularly in 1976 when the Bicentennial brought the subject to the fore.

Deism was overtly anti-Christian, not 'Christianity-lite' as it is presented by social proofer gospel evangelists.

@ins0mniak Anyone who thinks the US was founded as a Christian nation should read Christian ultra-fundamentalist and Ph.D in US colonial history holder Gary North's Conspiracy in Philadelphia, the conclusive debunking of the sentimental evangelical fantasy of eternally Jesus-steeped America.

One's an actual priest who discovered genetics, the other is a mediocre grifter pretending to be a cleric.

Find me a Christian who puts as much EFFECTIVE EFFORT into reviving the church as Elon Musk puts into colonizing Mars.

Elon Musk is not anti-Christian. He just has other concerns.

@okayyeahwhatever Incredibly high moral standards are Christianity's advantage and disadvantage. On the one hand if you have a population that can reliably run ChristOS you get a near paradise of peace and prosperity with the bare minimum of parasites and cheats.

On the other hand it denies essentialism, which precludes a ban on biological enemies ON THE BASIS OF GENETICS. The first parasite that manages to creep past what moral barriers exist enjoys a decisive competitive advantage, thus the ease with which retail and media were taken over by the kikes.

It is a pickle.

@judgedread @okayyeahwhatever The two most prominent examples in Orthodoxy of people who suffer from spiritual and biological diseases that turn them into Enemies of Humanity are the jews themselves and people possessed by demons (there is a lot of overlap). For the jews this sickness is now clearly genetic: "His blood be on us and on our children."

Those natural Enemies of Humanity who do not resist their corrupt nature should be delivered to the Most High Judge swiftly and efficiently by Imperial military and police forces. The tough issue is what to do with those jews and demoniacs who recognize their diseased nature but who sincerely want their nature to be changed so they are no longer a threat. Without advanced genetic engineering or Divine Intervention this is likely impossible -- Orthodox Christians should aggressively pursue both avenues.

Ideally we would contain these unfortunates with the same aggressiveness we would (other) vampires or zombies while we worked and prayed for a treatment. The Church would administer sacraments to them while in containment, but allowing them to participate in Church leadership would obviously be extremely foolish.

The key Christian principle at work here is aggressively protecting the population from the threat these biological enemies pose without judging their spiritual condition. They didn't choose to be biological parasites: we do not expect God to judge them spiritually for their sickness so neither should we.
