Haitian Crusaders with Matt Marino

S2E14: Haitian Crusaders w/ Matt Marino Cody, Michael, & returning guest, Matt Marino, engage in discussion on two chief topics: the dynamics of immigration and the metaphysics of historiography. Inspired by Matt's two articles: Who is the Sojourner? and The Lost Tools of Learning from History. Highlights: Sojourner—defined and abused. Is America being deliberately destroyed through illegals? Abuses of Scripture to justify demographic warfare. Can we love humanity in general? Who is a neighbor?—can Wolfgang Musculus help us here? The imago Dei and immigration. How is our compassion exploited? Is the government required by God's law to remove illegals? Who is a native? Is C. Jay Engel's "Heritage American" helpful? Can Aristotle help? What place does race play? Culture? The "Anglo-Saxon supremacy" demanded by the VA Senate in 1905 + the NC and SC demands of immigrants of Celtic, Teutonic, and Saxon origins. Is America facing an identity crisis? Has the 1965 Hart-Celler Act radically redefined America? The failure of Blacks to assimilate into White America—real, important? Discussing race & politics without lighting our hair on fire. The reality of race as expressed in voting patterns. Hostiles vs. Hospitables. If the "immigrants" are in need, why are they all military-aged males? Natural law—does it require distinct nations and borders? The place of voting in these things. Political liars and gaslighters. Is the invasion of illegals a judgment of God? Gideon & Samson as lesser saviors of God's people while God was yet judging his people. The prophets on strangers as a judgment. Passivity and pacifism—besetting sins of our age and church? Is it a matter of natural law to defend your own people and place, even using violence if need be? How John Piper & James White fail here. Metaphysical thinking and the Crusades, the Civil War, and WW2. What place should the Civil War have in our thinking today? The South as one of the last holdouts of Christian orthodoxy; as a real opponent against egalitarianism, including upholding slavery; and as upholding racial superiority and inferiority. Are things that are not the gospel important? "Not the gospel" is deployed against political interests. Apolitical posture—idolatry? The punch right, kiss left spirit. Should "metaphysical thinking" be applied to WW2? The failure of piecemeal facts vs. the narrative. The place of shotgun facts in destroying the narrative. Proxy battles vs. substance, e.g. Romanists vs Protestants, the Crusades, etc. Can a syllogism convert the masses? The place of vibes and memes in sociopolitical renewal. The Holodomor, 10M Germans starved, Adolf Hitler & Christianity. Righteous deconstruction. Stephen Wolfe as a brilliant Twitter troll. Historiography as self-loathing and damning heroes. Dabney & Secession; Crusades & the present invasion of the West by Islam. The difference between how Crusades may have been used by Romanists in the past vs. how they are abused today against us. Responding effectively to the shibboleths and struggle sessions of words like racist, Nazi, white supremacist, and events like WW2, the Civil War, and Civil Rights. The danger of friendly fire & undue fear. Do not play the disavowal game. Purity spiraling & the failure of the Right to unite against a common enemy. Struggle sessions as opportunity for victory. The rationality of becoming white supremacist.
