@justawhitefella @PerfInjust This is the gayest and most effeminate line of questioning.
English

I’ve known Michael for many years. I don’t recall when we first met in person, but we became friends over three years ago. For much of that time, he lived near me. We’ve been to each other's houses. Our families have had dinner together, and our kids have played together. On a few occasions, he volunteered to help me with projects on the property: building a deck, moving felled trees, and other things. His wife is kind. He has good kids. Michael was repeatedly kind to me. I’ve spent more time with him than 99% of his critics, though I haven’t seen him much in the last year or so.
I once said that Michael is a “friend” and “a good man”—-something used against me for nearly a year now. No critic has asked what I meant by it, and my default response is to ignore such people. I was referring to his kindness and generosity to me, and to his concern for my spiritual well-being, which surpassed that of many people in my life.
Mindful of this history, and out of loyalty to a friend, I did not denounce or openly distance myself from Michael as he began to embrace positions that I reject. This came at great personal cost, not only for me but especially for my family. Online agitators and tale-bearers, most of whom are incapable of argument, insinuated that Michael and I are “fellow Nazis,” despite my numerous articles, videos, and books contradicting that claim. I do not expect any session or presbytery to correct these sinful accusations (WLC 144), despite several coming from those vowed to maintain the “peace of the church.”
Michael knows the cost of being associated with him. He knows that anything he says places burdens upon others. I chose to endure them. An elderly man at my previous church—known and well respected in both the OPC and the PCA—encouraged me to remain friends with Michael for his sake, and I did.
But the post below is a turning point for me. It represents a complete disregard for those who bear the costs of any degree of association. When consideration of others goes repeatedly unreciprocated, there comes a breaking point. It begins to look like exploitation. Obviously, “Christian prince” is a term I retrieved from the Protestant tradition, and it immediately recalls my work. Michael had to know that I, yet again, would be dragged into accusations of Naziism, even from those of decent will. He chose words (when there are alternatives) that instantly recall “Stephen Wolfe.” It is an act of betrayal. He has not considered how his actions affect others. He could have easily added, “I know that Stephen Wolfe does not agree with me.” But he did not.
As I’ve said for years now, I have no interest in retrieving Naziism, nor do I want a “Protestant Hitler.” Michael knows this, as I’ve said to him (among others) that revising 1930s German history is unnecessary to critique the “post-war consensus”. I am right-wing, but I am an American. By today’s standards, American history is right-wing, and it contains all the resources for recovering a manly, moral liberty and a Christian society. Anglo-Protestantism, despite its faults, is still the core tradition of America. Our fight is to recover it.
I have a high tolerance for differing opinions. I do not shy away from references to Marx, Nietzsche, Hegel, Heidegger, or “critical theory.” Viewing everything with the good/evil binary, or relying on a set of scary words to categorize intellectual history and various individuals, is unserious. I even use Marx in my MA philosophy thesis. But I would not say that we need a “Protestant Marx” or a “Protestant Heidegger”. We need a George Washington.
Given Michael’s behavior—his disregard for my position and the effects of his actions—I can no longer consider him a friend. But I will not take on a mission to destroy him. I will not toss epithets at him or make quips for spectacle. I simply cannot continue in what I consider an exploitive relationship. I pray that Michael and his lovely family would live well in godliness.
Michael Spangler@spanglermt
"Protestant Hitler" is the right term for the Christian prince we need today. By "Hitler" we name our need for ruthless anti-Judaism and anti-leftism, without which our nation will never be rescued. But by "Protestant" we name our urgent need for solid piety.
English

@Bible_truth2026 @fivepointpippin @justawhitefella @PerfInjust even if he doesn't agree with any of those mainstream-narrative characterizations?
English

@fivepointpippin @justawhitefella @PerfInjust By glorifying Hitler, spangler violates the 6th (honoring mass murder), 9th (bearing false witness against history/victims), and 1st (idolatrously elevating a pagan tyrant) Commandments, abandoning the 10th’s requirement for a charitable spirit toward all neighbors.
English

I don't think you have a copyright on the term Prince or 'Christian Prince'. There is an active discourse on a nest of topics around this concept. Take the W for having started it, but don't think you get to control it. We must not succumb to the Denunciationists.
Now imagine your dear friend announced, "we need a Christian Prince after the model of Woodrow Wilson." Would you
a. Cry out, "my friend, you must be crazy!"
b. Think, "hm, counter-intuitive. I must see what he is thinking."
c. Announce, "I prefer Daniel Boone to my friend's choice."
d. Publicly renounce him as a friend with a lot of gas swirling around.
(d) is both ridiculous and evil.
This post, until you retract it, makes you a Buckley.
English

@kinisman @PerfInjust I second this. Eli and his swarm of double-minded Leftists (yes: even if they voted for the W) will not be appeased. The will only chuckle at having put another dent in the Right.
English

Stephen, I say this as someone who has enormous respect for you and what you’ve accomplished: don’t think so highly of yourself. For someone who writes a great deal on politics, you have much to learn about friends and enemies. You’re disavowing friends without harming enemies in the slightest! I have news for you: you’re still “Hitler” himself, according to all of your actual enemies, and your performative disavowal doesn’t change this.

@cwebbonline TSA is not needed. Take the opportunity to abolish it.
English

First of all, maybe TSA agents are quitting because they don’t want to sleep in their cars at the airport since they can’t afford gas.
Second, ICE agents are barely trained to be ICE agents. Now they’re being put in airports to do TSA’s job with zero training. What could go wrong?
PAY TSA AGENTS, NOT ICE.
📌 Senate Democrats tried seven times to pass standalone funding bills specifically for TSA pay and operations during the partial DHS shutdown. Republicans blocked each attempt.

@Ferndiggity The W did even more harm to our nation than Mueller.

@flemingrut It's confusing whether you are making a principial point (one should not speak ill of the dead) or a factual claim (he was an honorable public servant).
If the latter: he was most certainly not honorable.
English

@_Link_ It's all "science science science" until she loses then the real agenda emerges: "believing that leads to something I don't like."
English

@BWLH_ I dream of a long line of cruise ships filled to the brim, taking their cargo on a trip to Africa, and returning empty for another load.
English

He’d say Thomas Jefferson was right about repatriating all blacks back to Africa. Something Jefferson long advocated for bc he studied historical slavery and realized the biological differences between Africans and Whites. See, Notes on Virginia.

@BryceMLipscomb The montage seems to be more about embracing fashion.
English

I've seen plenty of young men trawling for nookie in religious communities, with little or no commitment to the religion.
This guy's first concern is obviously not which parish is the most faithful or pious. It's about himself ("successful") and already shows procrastination and deflection ("soon").
It's actually amazing how much you can learn about someone in a short blurb. The community was right.
English

@ShoahUkraine Whatever collateral benefit occurred from the Red Army, it wasn't to the credit of communism.
English

I am not sure about that senator. Ninety percent of my family would never even have had the chance to be born if it hadn’t been for the Red Army.

Ted Cruz@tedcruz
Communism is the most evil, twisted, depraved ideology that mankind has ever produced. Defeating communism is incredibly important.
English

@TheReelRandom It keeps civil and ecclesiastical power separate, as Christendom always taught.
It does not prevent biblical content informing the civil power.
Your high school juniors have been misinformed.
English

I taught American Government for decades.
Separation of church and state is about as basic as you get.
It’s not just the 1st Amendment that makes this clear. Article VI, Clause 3 of the U.S. Constitution prohibits any religious test as a qualification for federal office or public trust.
That’s also a clear separation between religious belief and your right to serve in elected office.
My high school juniors understood this, but a sitting Senator doesn’t?

English

@ket38111 What is troubling is his urging the "pouring as many resources as possible" rather than "sending as many missionaries as possible."
English

This is a great example of "White delusion."
R.C. Sproul, "I believe that within thirty years the largest and strongest branch of Christendom will be in Africa and that it is absolutely critical that the church in the United States right now pour as many resources as possible into the emerging churches of the Third World, particularly in Africa." - p.28 Acts commentary (2010)
I say this partly because Sproul was so well respected but also because he so clearly admitted, in this quote, his own love for a foreign people instead of his own people. Remember 1 Tim 5:8.
Christ may shift Christendom to another continent and people, but we ought not to indirectly assist our own people's degradation in favor of another. Instead, we ought to (without neglecting foreign missions entirely) focus more on our own people in our own churches especially given their horrible spiritual condition.
Remember that, although the gospel went forth to "the ends of the earth," it first went to "Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria" (Acts 1:8). Today Whites neglect their own people because they are under the delusion of racial egalitarianism. It is self-genocide.

English

@JennMGreenberg @JosiahForYeshua You don't know what "caused" Israel's degeneration. It certainly wasn't their obedience to God.
It doesn't matter whether or not we are a theocracy. The point is, God commanded public executions, and even public participation. Therefore, it can't be intrinsically harmful.
English

All those executions occurred in a theocracy though. We do not currently live in a theocracy.
Also, look what happened to Israel. They repeatedly became more and more violent, even burning their own children to the most vile and demonic false gods. While God's laws are holy and just, people are not. People cannot survive divine law and frequently abuse it. Everything we touch gets twisted.
English

This is why I’m against public execution. I know some conservatives are in favor of it. Even Charlie Kirk was. But witnessing death, especially violent death, has a profound effect on the human heart. It damages something inside you. The mentally and emotionally healthy can recover, but there are many people who are not healthy.
We all remember when Charlie was shot. The abject horror we rightly felt. The grief for his wife and children. But there were some who celebrated.
When Rob Reiner was murdered, many were rightly horrified and grieved. But once again, there were some who celebrated.
If people can celebrate the violent murders of a Christian family man, and a movie director grandfather and grandmother, how many more would celebrate the just execution of an actual criminal?
Is that good?
Is it healthy for society?
Do we really want to become that?
In the Roman Colosseum criminals and prisoners were publicly executed; forced to fight, fed to lions, and all manner of creative methods of dying. People cheered.
During the French Revolution people congregated at the guillotine to watch beheadings. Chunks of hair and body parts were sold or collected as souvenirs.
Is that who we are?
Is that who we want to become?
Should death be entertainment?
Because I guarantee you, if we have public executions, death will be our entertainment.
And death will be how history remembers us.
English

@RRR0BYN Quite so. It is rhetorical terrorism, and if we run from it, they win.
English

Nothing upsets our enemies more than causally and confidently accepting their accusations about us.
“You’re hateful.”
Yep I hate what God hates.
“You’re racist.”
Yep I love my people more than foreign ones.
“You’re a bigot.”
Yep nature necessitates discrimination for survival.
“You’re a bad Christian.”
Yep that’s why I confess my sins weekly.
For them failing to be perceived as a “good person” is total annihilation bc they literally do not know how to think for themselves. Without herd consensus they cannot function. Their identity collapses.
Never try to explain why you’re not what they call you, it justifies their frame that social acceptance is all that matters. Reframe, survival is all that matters. Just agree with them and laugh in their face.
English

@LostMyHats @joelmowbray @TuckerCarlson @TCNetwork @megynkelly @MegynKellyShow Plus, the story itself is almost certainly made up.
A 5-year-old that needs a "therapist"?
And then, you let the open market pick the therapist?
They should be arrested for child abuse.
English

@joelmowbray @TuckerCarlson @TCNetwork @megynkelly @MegynKellyShow “Help. The goy refused to be my servant.”
First world Jew problems, amiright? Call the ADL. It’s practically a pogrom.
English

Want to see the rise in anti-Semitism in action?
A 20-ish TradCath therapist for my 5-year-old son has quit.
Why?
She can't work in his Jewish preschool or our Jewish home.
She codes it as "politics" and "current world affairs," but after follow-ups with the agency, it WAS because we're Jews.
Or at least, we're Jews who believe that you can't claim Israel or "the Jews" somehow secretly control Trump and the U.S. government.
It couldn't haven't been over me supporting the war, because — at most — I'm skeptical of the war, and have been all along.
What is ironclad, however, is that there's no secret Jewish control of the U.S., via the State of Israel or otherwise.
But there are a LOT of Zoomers who believe that. And a growing number of self-described traditional Catholics do, as well.
In other words, the exact demographic of my little boy's therapist who doesn't want to work with or around Jews anymore.
Not coincidentally, it's also the exact demographic targeted by the likes of Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly and Carrie Prejean.
You may not care about whether a health care provider refuses to work with little Jewish children.
But what if it's other medical providers who won't treat Jews? Or worse?
Never mind that anti-Semitic attacks in America are up almost five-fold since 2017.
Do the people who have started echoing the "Israel controls America" nonsense even understand the ramifications of how that feeds anti-Semitism?
Do they understand that you can't claim that "Jews" or the Jewish state are secretly leading America off a cliff and potentially into permanent ruin without inflaming anti-Semitism?
Because you know who DOES understand that Jews will directly suffer from these new "anti-Israel" narratives?
The very people pushing them: Tucker, Candace, Megyn, Prejean, and their minions.

@MadelaineLucyH According to some analysts, the goal is to plant the meme that will be memorable: whether that is pleasure (Pepsi generation, bouncing babes) or cognitive dissonance (arms that don't seem to be attached) or anger (negroes fondling blonds).
English

Ok I can explain this to you, because unlike this bunch of losers I’ve worked in marketing.
What we market to you is this:
An identity you want > A product > A sale
Doesn’t matter if it’s a teapot or a banking app. That’s what you do with an ad. Does it make you feel smart? Prestigious? In on the joke? Cool? Safe?
That’s how advertisers think. If I say “This hat is cool, and good!” that’s a 2/10 ad. If I say “This hat is the hat you wear on holiday this year when the warm Italian sun floods the vineyards” that’s already put the hat on your head and a luxury holiday.
Now, most people do not like racism. I know that’ll shock you because of Elon’s whack algorithm, but most people identify as “not a racist”. Easiest way to say to someone, look how open minded we are, and you are just like us? Diversity in an ad.
It’s just sales.
You’re just dumb so you see an “agenda”.
