RED PILLS, PEARLS OF GREAT PRICE, AND DALROCK'S HYPOCRISY

  Red Pill crackpot Dalrock has been on a literary rampage lately. His ire apparently has been aroused by the recent publicity surrounding young Swedish climate-change activist, Greta Thunberg. Without seeing the slightest irony in his words, he accuses Miss Greta's handlers of starting a cult. This, from a blogger whose whole ideology revolves around reactionary neo-Marxism and repeatedly attacking Christianity as a de facto "opiod of the masses."

  Since the Red Pills typically only see issues in black-and-white terms; in the interests of full disclosure I'll mention that condemning Dalrock doesn't equate to endorsing Miss Greta's atmospheric and geological theories. If I were interviewing her, I'd ask her two questions:

  1. The US National Weather Service---the most advanced meteorological institution in the world---cannot, by its own admission, accurately forecast weather conditions outside of 10-14 days in the future. How can anyone know the state of the world's climate in 40-50 years?

 2. Geologists and Archaeologists have confirmed that the Earth has undergone extensive and varied climatological changes through the centuries; but none of these scientists agree on what caused any of these changes to happen. How do we know what's causing any climate change today?

 But for Dalrock and his toadies, the issue is not one of science. To the Red Pills, these issues always involve trying to juxtapose the absurdities of their own cult with mainstream religions to appear legitimate. Dalrock thus cites a story floating around the internet that the Church of Sweden has proclaimed Miss Greta a new messiah:  "Social Justice Warriors have been outdoing themselves with Greta Thunberg.  After I wrote A (new) child to save us, I saw in Fabius Maximus’ post Using girls for propoganda that a church in Sweden has declared her a successor to Christ." 

  That story, incidentally, has turned out to be a hoax. But the lie serves Red Pill purposes, so neither Dalrock nor Fabius Maximus have corrected it. 

  To underscore the Red Pills' commitment to Reactionary Left ideology, Dalrock then publishes two subsequent posts The Fruits of Chivalry and The Gospel of the Carousel, in which he attacks both Conservatives and the Church for having the audacity to value women in our culture. Dalrock proclaims that Chivalry is a perversion; again not seeing the irony in that he is preaching that to the Incels and PUAs who make up the Red Pill movement. He claims that: 

  "Part of why this form of virtue signaling flies especially well with conservatives is that it scratches the chivalrous itch.  In the chivalrous worldview a man being humiliated to appease the cruel whims of a woman is the ultimate in masculine virtue."  

   The context of the above quote has to do with an article about some cross-dressing European males, and a comment from one Dalrock's camp-followers who quoted the Leftist myth that males who don't engage in such behaviors are emotionally insecure. How does any of this equate to Chivalry? Well, as the quote above shows, chivalry---to these perverts---is only about appeasing the cruelty of women (whatever that means). It's only an inversion of the Marxist/Feminist theory that Chivalry is demeaning to women. 

  Civilized societies recognize that there a difference between genders; and that the future of civilization depends on the protection and defense of women---for obvious reasons. Christ taught this Himself by befriending and defending even socially disgraced women. The first command that God gave to Adam was "to maintain the Garden and defend it." Dalrock, though, snorts at a popular contemporary Christian writer for drawing a parallel between Christ's Parable of the Pearl. He claims that  "For an even more astounding example of this perversion of the message of the Gospel, see Wendy Griffith’s book for Christian women looking for a husband.  Griffith takes the parable of the Pearl of Great Price and twists it so that she and her readers are the Pearl of Great Price, not salvation!" What Wendy Griffith actually wrote was:

  "Ladies, the Lord wants you to know that you are a pearl of great price, a treasure worth pursuing and protecting. You are worth fighting for and, like the pearl in the parable at the head of this chapter, worth everything it might cost a guy to obtain you. You are worth someone sacrificing his time, his routine, his comfort, his money, his whatever in order to have you. You are worth it! You are a prize to be won."

  Which statement is not at all at variance with what St. Peter recommends to women in his First Epistle: "Even if such men are disobedient to the Word, by the conduct of women---even without the {preaching of} the Word, they may be won by having witnessed your virtuous conduct carried out with care. Let this conduct not merely be the outward ones... but of those in the hidden heart of mankind; {that is,} in the incorruptible ornamentation of the soft and gentle spirit, which before God is {a jewel of} great price." (I Pet. iii:1-4, translated from Greek text). 

   As for Greta Thunberg, she'd be well-advised to follow the same advice and settle down with a nice man. Now that she's a celebrity, though, she's out of reach for all the frustrated incels who read Dalrock---which will probably only exacerbate their anger and malice even more.
