Vox Day has published his fourth (and thankfully final) article purportedly refuting a Christian response to his Alt-Right Manifesto. Vox' article was somewhat anti-climatic, but nonetheless predictable. Blogger Comic Hound wrote a lengthy point-by-point commentary on Vox' Manifesto explaining how it contradicted Christian Doctrine. Aside from calling Comic Hound a Churchian and cherry-picking a few pieces of Scripture out of context, Vox never once proved his theory was aligned with Christianity.
And that's been the point of our following this controversy in all its agonizing detail. It's a practical illustration of a common cultish tactic. Whenever traditional religion opposes a cult, the cult-leaders and propagandists immediately shift the debate from its initial premise. They simply argue, as Vox has done, that his assertions are self-evident truths. And they liberally salt these assertions with jibes, insults, and mockery---all this is done to throw a smokescreen over the fact that few---if any---of their beliefs are consistent with traditional religion.
Cults are almost always vulnerable at this point, because they need the authority of a traditional religion to give their movement legitimacy; while at the same time rejecting its actually doctrine. Even cults like Scientology base their beliefs in allegedly prehistoric events; and some secular/political cults like Communism and Naziism state that their existence is a fulfillment of some evolutionary mandate. The Red Pills do both: they claim an inevitable triumph that fulfills both Biblical prophecy and evolutionary necessity.
To address some of the points in his fourth article: Vox claims that his opposition to international free-trade is in line with Conservative thought; while its advocates follow Marxism. This is completely wrong; Conservative economists like Milton Friedman, Ludwig von Mises, Baron von Hayek, Frederic Bastiat, and Harry Browne all argued that international free trade promoted world peace. And this is completely logical, since if nations mutually benefit from one another the threat of war is less likely. Marx believed in international trade---but controlled, not free trade.
Vox, however, claims---and re-asserts here---that wars come from his formula, "Diversity+Proximity=War." That fallacy has already been debunked; but the raw racism of such a position becomes clear when within the framework of economics. China and the US are radically different cultures but President Trump's trade policy with them has opened up a new era of cooperation and friendship. Neither country has an incentive for war now with both of us benefiting from the other.
Against this, though, Vox claims that the survival of the White race is a moral imperative, while at the same claiming that 'science' proves that there are human sub-species. What science he means, no one knows: but his position is contradictory. If the White Race is truly dying out (which is not likely) then it stands to reason that other races are better adapted in terms of human evolution and that survival of the fittest applies to them and not to us.
It's a good sign to see however that more and more Christians are standing up and denouncing the whole Cult of the Red Pill/Alt-Right/Gamers, or whatever they call themselves. As Pope Benedict once famously said of another group predicting that the downfall of the Church was imminent: "It's been imminent now for the last two millennia." Whatever these would-be Alphas imagine of themselves, they are the ones headed for the ash-can of history while, at the end of human history, the Church will remain standing and triumphant.
So we're now up to the third installment of Vox Day's rather lame defense of his Alt-RINO Manifesto. So far, Vox has yet to tell us how his Manifesto is based in Christian Doctrine or how this response to it is inconsistent with it.
This third section contains considerable arm-flapping and spouts of self-righteous indignation from Vox and his disciples. He's barely been able to go one paragraph in all three articles without references to Churchians, Cuckservatives, cretins, morons, and jackasses. This however is the Red Pill idea of high-level discourse.
One of the high points of this third article was when Vox---who usually employs the notorious echo symbol when referencing (((a Jew)))---actually accuses Comic Hound of anti-Semitism! No really, he says this. And he even---falsely---claims that Comic Hound's rejection of the infamous Blood and Soil doctrine implies opposition to Israel's existence as a nation. Anybody though who's read much of Alt-RINO literature realizes that the Red Pills who favor Israeli statehood do so not out of concern for the Jews; but only so the Jews have something like an Indian Reservation on which to live.
It's interesting to observe though that many Christians regard concentrating world Jewry into Palestine as a policy of the future prophesied Antichrist. Not all Christians agree about prophesies concerning the Jews---but it's really a moot point for our purposes since Vox is simply throwing out canards without addressing doctrines at all.
The Red Pills hold positions like these because they share with the Marxists a belief in Identity Politics. One of the points of Vox' Manifesto claims that politics stem from identity. This true when speaking of very primitive societies; but societies evolve and mature over time through close cooperation. Identity Politics exist at the sociological level of tribal systems, but are regressive social traits in a civilized society.
Vox claims that a nation's political structure is rooted in its national identity. If this were true there would never have been either revolutions or civil wars in human history. The American Revolution is a good example: both sides in the War of Independence had a common identity as British and polar opposites in their politics. Another more radical example is Korea. Korea had no historical identity with republican governments and the yet the country split into a Democratic republic and a Communist republic. What these examples show is that, in the modern era, Comic Hound is correct in that politics supersedes both culture and identity. And as we showed in the last post, the Catechism teaches us that such is the Will of God, that nations grow and learn from each other.
As a side note here: political and cultural problems generally stem from a spiritual problem. In the two examples above, America in 1776 was a deeply spiritual culture which felt restrained by British culture. Korea had a spiritual vacuum in 1945 which was easily filled by cults like the Moonies in the democratic South and by Communists in the North.
Copying another Game cultist, Chateau Heartiste, Vox asserts the Red Pill talking-point that "Diversity+Proximity=War." This, he believes, is self-evident; and refers to skeptics as morons. His only answer is a lot of sneering, although Comic Hound points out that wars fought over diversity were initiated by racists. Which should be easy to refute, if false. If we look back at the last 150 or so years we see the American Civil War (started by a cabal intent on extending slavery). Then we see the Boer War (started by a group who wanted apartheid). Then there was WW1 (started by an empire bent on ethnically cleansing the Balkans. They were allied with another empire which ethnically cleansed the Armenians). WW2 is self-evident on this point. Korea and Vietnam were instigated by men bent on driving the White Devils from Asia, just as the earlier Boxer Rebellion did.
So when Vox snorts, "What wars are these morons talking about", the answer is just about every major war since the Napoleonic Era.
Vox winds up his rabid screed by claiming that America does not exist on 'the idea that diversity is your right'. The First, Ninth, Tenth, Thirteenth, Fourteenth, and Fifteenth Amendments to the US Constitution to the contrary notwithstanding.
But again this is mostly distraction. Where again is the Alt-Right Manifesto based in Christian Doctrine? Vox hasn't told us yet---maybe he will in Part IV.
So Vox has now published his second so-called defense of his Alt-Right Manifesto. This defense is supposedly a rebuttal of blogger Comic Hound's excellent article refuting the Alt-RINO positions and explaining how they conflict with Christianity.
Halfway through all of this and Vox has yet to address the core issue. So have some of his followers.
Vox has yet to demonstrate either how
1. Comic Hound's statements are inconsistent with Christian Doctrine, or;
2. How Vox' Manifesto is in accordance with Christian Doctrine.
Now that a day has passed and Vox has choked back some of his bile; he apparently realized those flaws in his argument, so he's cherry-picked a few verses of Scripture to 'prove' that Racism is a Christian value. Cultural Marxists argue the very same thing all the time. But consulting Articles 1929-1948 of the Catechism shows exactly the opposite to be true:
"Respect for the human person considers others 'another self'. It presupposes respect for the fundamental rights which flow from the dignity intrinsic in the person. The equality of men considers their dignity as persons and the rights which flow from it. The differences among persons belong to God's Plan, Who wills that we should need one another. These differences should encourage charity...Solidarity is an eminently Christian virtue."
Thus, Christian Doctrine---while it recognizes differences in people---holds that Empathy, Charity, and Solidarity are the attitudes which Christians hold. Vox distorts this view as advocating a one-world government: which it clearly does not. By Vox' illogic, Russian humanitarian aid to Syria and Ukraine would be immoral.
Vox also twists Comic Hound's words by making it appear as though the latter favors Open Borders. This assumption no doubt springs from his xenophobia which Comic Hound refutes in Point 5. Vox asserts that "nations have a right to exist homogenous and unadulterated by foreign invasion or immigration." Rather a paradoxical position for an American expatriate to take, to say the least.
In defense of this point, though, Vox tips his hand and shows that the Red Pill Philosophy is all about neo-Marxist 'Identity Politics' and not based in Christianity at all. He says: "If you are anti-Nationalist you are by definition anti-patriotic and anti-American. Even worse, you are a Globalist". Vox keeps throwing this term 'globalism' around as though it was some sort of anathema. He seems to have forgotten that both the League of Nations and its successor, the UN were mostly conceived by Americans. And they were created to advance Western Civilization and its ideals of Democracy and the Free Market. In fact, the Korean and Vietnam Wars were fought by the UN to stop one-world government under Communism.
Vox then makes this twisted statement which shows the brutality and vulgarity of his whole system: "All human beings are not equal in terms of worth." Then he goes on state that by the logic of such 'cretins' who believe to the contrary, no one would be damned and Christ's Crucifixion was for nothing. What Vox fails to realize---because he himself is a god in his own mind---is that all humans are equal in that we are in sin; and that "God so loved the world that He gave his Son so that all who believe in Him should have Eternal Life" (Jno. iii:16).
Point 8 deals with the Alt-Right Manifesto's statement about Science in Society which is so ludicrous that it hardly needs refutation. Those interested can consult what Comic Hound had to say about it in the link above.
We are holding our collective breath waiting for Parts III and IV.....
Vox Day, one the ringleaders of the Manosphere Alpha/Game Cult, has started a series of 'rebuttals' to a Christian blogger who evidently believes more in The Ten Commandments than Vox' grandiloquent Sixteen Principles of the Alt-Right. For those not familiar with the Red Pill Cult, their leaders are always making these absurd lists like these and giving them titles like Ironclad Rules, Commandments of Poon, and other nonsense in complete contradiction with Christianity.
Vox' ire was raised by a blogger named Comic Hound, who wrote a point-by-point critique of Vox' loony manifesto from a Christian standpoint. Vox, though, immediately labelled him a Churchian and a Cuckservative as he does with anyone of the political Right who doesn't bow down to him.
Comic Hound's article itself is very good and readers are encouraged to link to it. It's very well thought-out and the author appears to be quite scholarly and reflective. This level of erudition naturally arouses the envy of the Gamers whose philosophy is based on an extremely low level of discourse. That can be seen by the fact that Vox' so-called rebuttal opens up with a torrent of buzz-words: "It is incoherent, incompetent, globalist, anti-Western, and anti-American!" he raves in the first paragraph, "It takes Christian theology and transforms it into something evil and Babylonian! He completely damns his own position with his ignorance, ineptitude, and philosophical incoherence!" Etc., etc.
Experience with various writers has taught many of us that whenever we hear language like this, it's a good indication that somebody's been telling the truth. And it's very typical of cult leaders to dismiss objections to their dogmas this way. Now we here don't know what denomination Comic Hound belongs, but his statements are very much in line with most mainstream churches.
In Vox' first post he covers Comic Hound's first points by calling him a 'Churchian' four times; a 'jackass' once; and never answers a single point in between. He invents another of his many neologisms, tactobrication for the occasion. This term, he informs us, comes from being unable to differentiate between tactics, strategy, objectives, and identity. To cut through all of Vox' cultish mumbo-jumbo, he's essentially accusing of Conservatives and Christians of some kind of Defeatism because we won't adopt the dishonest tactics of the Left. In an earlier paragraph Vox complained that Comic Hound doesn't understand Socialism: neither apparently does Vox understand that his own tactics mirror theirs.
To clarify here: we follow a philosophy based in faith. Because we have Faith in God, we don't need to resort to the types of tactics the Left does. When Comic Hound says "we must stand for what is right, even when it means temporary loss." That is, we have Faith that what appears to be a defeat will ultimately rebound to glorify God. We've written here on several occasions of Christians in the Middle East who were martyred by Wahhabi fanatics in places like Syria, Iraq, and Yemen. Their willingness to die for their Faith, combined with the horrors inflicted by ISIS has caused a renewed respect for Christians there and many conversions.
Like the Cultural Marxists whom they copy, the Red Pills' faith is in an ideology. Not being of divine origin, their dogmas produce no self-evident Fruits of the Spirit. Thus they have to resort to force and fraud; and---in light of this deficiency---we can see why Vox and his followers admire people like Anders Breivik and Eliot Roger.
Vox also falsely accuses Christians of being hostile to Western Civilization. This is false because Western Civilization and Christianity grew out of the same source in Classical Greece. But Vox is especially exorcised by Comic Hound's assertion denying that the West is Christian because it is inherently superior. In fact all we really have to do is read the story in the Acts of the Apostles about St. Phillip's conversion of the Ethiopian chamberlain. The Abyssinian Church is among the world's oldest.
No doubt Vox will have some further spleen-venting. In the meantime, though, read the link---it's very good.
So we heard today two unpleasant news stories from the Middle East. One involved an unprovoked air strike upon Allied forces in Syria---supposedly to defend the terrorist Syrian Democratic Forces. This was apparently done under the pretext of "countering Iranian influence" despite the fact that Iran has been one of the staunchest opponents of ISIS and Al-Qaeda. Then there was another speech---this time from the White House---warning of "serious consequences" if Iran refuses to release Americans who are imprisoned in that country for breaking Iranian laws.
'Rainbow Rex' Tillerson---the man who sabotaged the Boy Scouts and is more loyal to the perverts and drug-addicts ruling Saudi Arabia than to America---is of course the motive force behind these moves. He and his fellow-RINO James Mattis always unilaterally create some foreign crisis every time their friends in the DNC get caught in a scandal. Like the Nunes Memo, for example.
Trump made a serious mistake early in his administration by deferring foreign and military policy to so-called experts, so that he could concentrate on rebuilding America. This would have been a smart policy if Trump had removed the Obama-Clinton shills and replaced them with actual patriots. As it is, Obama-appointed commanders like Mattis and Votel are creating the same kinds of Foreign Policy disasters for Trump that they did for Obama.
In the first place the notion that Iran is the greatest threat to Middle East peace is Saudi propaganda---which their paid lobbyists in the Beltway and the Corporate Media repeat without challenge. Saudi Arabia and its confederates literally own huge shares of US media conglomerates and are one of Congress' largest lobbyists. Iran has zero financial interests in the US and therefore, no allies. The same is true of the Administration's misguided decision to brand Hezbollah and the IRGC as 'terrorist groups.'. These groups are in fact fighting Saudi-backed Wahhabi terrorists in Syria, Iraq, Yemen, Bahrain, and Lebanon.
Here is another detail that the US Media kept from public view. In 2016, the UN Office of Drugs and Crime (UNODC) reported that: "Drug trafficking remains a major challenge for the Islamic Republic of Iran. The geographical location of the country---especially its 1923-kilometer border with Afghanistan (the world's largest opium producer) and with Pakistan has turned it into a major transit country for illegal drugs. In response to this challenge, Iran has built one of the strongest counter-narcotics enforcement capability in the region. According to the 2014 UNODC World Drug Report, Iran accounted for 74% of the world's illegal opium seizures and 25% of world seizures of Morphine and Heroin in 2012."
So while we're fighting the Opioid Epidemic, Iran has prevented Opioids from ever reaching US shores! This while the US Navy challenges Iranian ships out hunting these smugglers on a regular basis. The report notes: "Iran reportedly spends millions of dollars annually on border control, including the construction of expensive barriers on its border with Afghanistan and Pakistan. More than 3,700 Iranian law enforcement officials have been killed and over 12,000 maimed in counter-narcotics operations over the last three decades."
As for the American prisoners Iran is holding---all of whom knowingly violated Iranian Law---Iran has offered to exchange them for Iranians held in American prisons. But Rainbow Rex will hear none of it---despite his pretenses of caring for the Americans there.
It's time for Trump to rid his Administration of the Neocons, RINOs, and DNC stalking-horses who are gumming up his foreign policy and stabbing him in the back domestically besides. And Tillerson needs to be the first drained with the rest of the swamp.
As everybody knows, most of the self-appointed Manly Alpha Leaders in the so-called Manosphere are a collection of fakes. Their attack on the family of Toby Meadows has blown up so badly that even Vox Day has discreetly tiptoed away from the controversy.
But now a new scandal has erupted around notorious troll Eli Mosley. Mosley was one of the architects of last year's Charlottesville fiasco; and hanger-on of White Supremacist Richard Spencer, woman-beater Nathan Damigo, and the latent-homosexual Red Pill gang, The Proud Boys. Mosley---whose real name is Klein---took over as head of Identity Europa last November.
At his ascension to that august position, Mosley---who had been writing under the name of The Jew Hunter--- spouted off the Corporate Media that he worked for an unspecified HR department where he "fires niggers and spics all day." Actually, he works for a pest-control service and it's not known whether he ever worked in HR anywhere or not. But the really Big Lie was his assertion that:
"Before that, I was in the Army and got to kill Moslems for fun. I'm not sure which is better: watching niggers and spics cry because they can't feed their little mud-children or watching Moslems' brains splattering against a wall." Real 'Alpha Male' stuff there, right? Pfffffttt.
Surprisingly, The New York Times---which was covering a related story---actually did some legitimate investigative reporting for once. Times reporter Emma Cott interviewed Mosley and said "After a short time filming behind the scenes with Eli and his associates, a common theme emerged. He kept emphasizing a connection between the Military and the Alt-Right. He said that many of his compatriots were veterans of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan who became disillusioned with the American system after fighting in unwinnable conflicts. In his telling, members of the Alt-Right were patriotic Americans who had come to their extreme worldviews through honorable life experience, not through hatred."
Miss Emma then did something that postmodern journalists rarely do: she actually contacted the Army to verify whether Mosley's claims about Iraq service were true. And she discovered that Mosley had not entered the Pennsylvania National Guard until after US troops had left. And furthermore, his unit never left Pennsylvania.
The phone call she made with Mosley (and reports on) is priceless:
Emma Cott: "The Army tells me that you did not deploy to Iraq."
Mosley: "uhhh...the Army told you that?"
Mosley then began explaining that somebody inside the Pentagon had sent a false report. Yeah---like Bill Clinton's Draft Card got lost in the mail. No wonder these Red Pills all hate women: women know better than to take men at their word.
So much for Eli Klein-Mosley.
After the infamous Nunes Memo was made public, the Democrats' attempts to subvert the Administration with fake news about Russian Electoral interference have basically collapsed. It really should have collapsed a long time ago, with media figures caught admitting to the hoax last Summer.
RINO Senator John McCain---who hates Russia with a frenzy bordering on paranoid schizophrenia---denounced the Memo's release stating that the only interest served was Vladimir Putin's. McCain incidentally thought that Russia's presence in Syria was a greater threat than ISIS' presence there.
So, picking up the bait, CNBC turned to pundit Donny Deutsch. Deutsch went into hysterics---visibly shaking and screaming that people must take to the streets; there was a pro-Russian coup underway; that Trump was a dictator, etc. Why Trump never uses these alleged dictatorial powers to suppress his media opponents was never explained.
See, Mr. Deutsch, in real dictatorships people like you don't get to go on nationwide cable TV and demand protests against the government. This is one of the first precepts that were formerly taught in Journalism schools. But---like many other Corporate Media 'experts'---Deutsch has never had any actual schooling in journalism.
Deutsch inherited an advertising firm from his father and sold it for $265 million. But in today's media environment, that entitles one to become a news commentator. Even though his ventures into cable news were cancelled after ratings plummeted, Deutsch is still invited on these shows as if his opinion actually matters.
Deutsch has also been involved in some shady real estate deals and has lost two multi-million dollar judgments to creditors whom he swindled. His wife divorced him for his numerous adulterous affairs. He openly calls himself a Male Feminist, though. In 2013, he announced that he was a Democrat---to no one's surprise; since his behavior is fairly typical of DNC leaders. Open Secrets records that he was a major donor to Hillary Clinton, Dick Durbin, and Chuck Schumer; as well as former DNC politicians John Edwards and Dick Gephardt.
In other words, Donny Deutsch is nothing but a paid apologist for the Deep State and the kinds of 'leadership' we left behind in 2016. He's also a good reminder of why we don't want those people back.
