Some comments of the previous post spurred me to investigate some of the ideas that are floating around the Alt-Right. It is the Alt-Right which, at least around me (in the sense that Internet conversations can be around) to which people either flock, or react against, and so they are the center of thought for those people.
One of the biggest topics of the Alt-Right conversations is nationalism and they are right that it needs to be discussed. Sometimes it is called ethno-nationalism, but that is a redundant phrase as a nation is ethnically homogeneous. I believe nationalism is good and God-ordained as I believe patriarchy is good, but what I do not believe is that the false idea that the fundamental nature of a person is his material, and that one’s material rules his destiny. But my intent isn’t to write what the Alt-Right gets wrong, but rather point out what is true and what we know if our center is Christ.
Nationalism is another way of saying extended family, so Christian Nationalism is concerned with Christians. I believe that spirit is the ethnicity, and that God has revealed this throughout the history of the world. Most specifically in the Bible because: In the beginning there were no Jews.
27 Now these are the generations of Terah. Terah fathered Abram, Nahor, and Haran; and Haran fathered Lot. 28 Haran died in the presence of his father Terah in the land of his kindred, in Ur of the Chaldeans. 29 And Abram and Nahor took wives. The name of Abram’s wife was Sarai, and the name of Nahor’s wife, Milcah, the daughter of Haran the father of Milcah and Iscah. 30 Now Sarai was barren; she had no child.
31 Terah took Abram his son and Lot the son of Haran, his grandson, and Sarai his daughter-in-law, his son Abram’s wife, and they went forth together from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan, but when they came to Haran, they settled there. 32 The days of Terah were 205 years, and Terah died in Haran.
1 Now the Lord said to Abram, “Go from your country and your kindred and your father’s house to the land that I will show you. 2 And I will make of you a great nation, and I will bless you and make your name great, so that you will be a blessing. 3 I will bless those who bless you, and him who dishonors you I will curse, and in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed.”
Terah, a Chaldean, was the father. He was taking Abram to Canaan, but fell short in Haran. God calls Abram to leave not only Ur, but to leave his father’s house, i.e., Terah’s family. God adopts Abram, and now it is God taking His adopted son to Canaan and promising to make from Abram a great nation. Nation is singular, but from all the families of the earth in Abraham, i.e., in the family of Abram. So not only does God adopt Abram, but He also foretells that Abram’s descendants will be from both Abram’s material, and also by adoption from other family material shall come his descendants and heirs by spirit. It’s an echo man’s creation; the Lord gathering dust, breathing spirit into it and so making a man and heir.[1] The only begotten (non-adopted) Son of God is Jesus, but all those who are adopted in the Spirit really are family. Whoever is not Christian is not part of the Christian nation–is not family.
We have another word for this sort of adoption, and that is redeemed. Because we are God’s lawful property as fruit of an errant vine which He created and planted (Adam), yet are now growing wild in sin, or in the clutches of another. Redemption comes to us through our Redeemer, Christ and by His Spirit.
There are mere material nations, of course. They really do exist (though dead) and they really are against whites and Westerners and especially against Christians. The friendliness of Muslims and Progressives boggles many Westerners because most Westerners do not accept the truth that ethnicities are spiritual. Muslims and Progressives find ways to make peace with each other because they both recognize their shared and inherited trait of being against Christ. They are not part of our family, and should not be treated as if they are. To complicate the matter: They are out there in the rest of the world trying to plunder, or destroy, or humiliate the United States for a variety or reasons of which only one is the fact that America appears to them to be a Christian nation.
Now, to put that (real) problem in perspective: Most of the people in the US are barbarians of other ethnicities. There are non-Christians, the fake Christians (who call themselves Christian but under investigation are found not to be), and there are all sorts of deformed Christians. They are in our families–but not!–and in our churches–but not! Many of our pastors and bishops and other leaders are not well-formed and fully-grown Christians, or at all. They too, as we painfully learn find common cause with the Progressives and the Muslims.
What I’m saying is we can’t stop the barbarians at the gates until the gates are out of the hands of the barbarians among whom we live. Later I’m going to say that there are no Jews in the Christian nation.
[1] Canaan too is more of that “adopted dust”. After adoption it is called Israel. Jerusalem becomes Zion.
Things that We have Heard and Known 
Most of the people in America are barbarians, period. What ethnicity was George Tiller? Look at the planned parenthood body part video. Where are the ethno-“savages” from other ethnicities?
Where is the alt-right on abortion? Here is a perspective and counter:
http://www.radixjournal.com/journal/2016/4/8/the-pro-life-temptation
These two articles summarize the problem and the divide. There is a Nitzchean alt-right, and a Christian alt-right. This leads to some strange bedfellows, or unifications. Vox Day and RooshV (at least Return of Kings) are examples, but the latter is perhaps the clearest. “How to improve the quality and quantity of fornication” articles are along side “Raising a traditional Christian Family” articles.
The hard part is not now as the left and the SJWs, and the Muslims are a common and virulent enemy and the alt-right pagans can be seen as those who would restore order along the lines of Romans 13 – right now they have a civilization streak and are only a threat to the barbarians.
The largest problem I have with ethno-nationalism on the alt-right is it is not sufficient, but serves as a distraction. Have a bunch of barbarian Celts, Germans, or Vikings and we will have civilization. We didn’t. Even worse and perhaps counter-intuitively, it was Southern Europe that produced “civilization” – Greece and Rome. Look at the prodigality of modern Greece and Italy. Plato, Aristotle, the Spartans, Milo, and Ariana Huffington share genes. The Angles and Saxons and Vikings were less civilized than the Post St. Patrick Celts. Hitler was German, Stalin was Georgian. For all the worries about Africans, the worst genocide was the Hutus killing the Tutsi in Rawanda – and the Whites across the globe ignored it. This was not far removed from Ethopia “We are the World”.
It is easy to determine ethnicity, much harder to determine character, even harder to see if it is based on sound doctrine or philosophy.
Another, and perhaps more important issue is not race but gender. The world doesn’t need Return of Kings other than to tell men, MGTOWs, etc. that the Red Pill is the real world, but the ugly and bright sides. The world needs the Return of Queens. Real women. Mary was virgin and mother. Those were the two attributes which put women into a sacred space. I can’t say it was originally Christian, given fertility and virginity were also Pagan and Jewish virtues, but they went to become something sacramental in Christendom.
Trigglypuf is lost but so are the attractive career women riding the cock carousel until they hear their egg expiry alarm go off. I’ll include the broken women in the cucked churches that won’t repent and thus accept being repaired, and seeing if they might work out (Social media acts something like a CarFax for people – Oh, the last 10 years on facebook she was bragging… – this will be a problem like the numerous cars that have been flooded so should be junked, but many are likely to be “salvaged” and resold but be unreliable.
Fix the distaff side of society, and 20 years from now the tide will be turning and all will be restored as the first of the restored Christendom generation become adults. The pool from which the next Adams, Jefferson, Washington, Franklin, Paine, and Madison will come.
There are few John Adams now, but there are fewer Abagails.
The only thing that can be offered to women is true happiness as a wife and mother, and watching your children ascend to greatness. No fancy STEM inventions, no large constructions or works. Maybe some business, but as a means (think Melania Trump). This is Christ’s instruction – Give up everything and follow me, and you will get 100x, with persecutions and eternal life.
And this is why the Pagan alt-right can’t win. What do they offer women but to keep feeding their Hypergamy? To allow them to continue some form of contraception, abortion, and divorce? The pagan patriarchy? Slavery not unlike how women are treated in Islam? Or that they all be whores? (The Burka or the Brothel as Vox put it). Yet the women would also have to become Christian to be able to return to the dignity of a Christian woman.
I think the key to victory will be to redeem the women, have them become Christian wives and mothers. Christendom is built upon Christian sons and daughters.
I’m definitely picking up what you’re putting down, but this part strikes me as a weak point in your argument:
“Muslims and Progressives find ways to make peace with each other because they both recognize their shared and inherited trait of being against Christ.”
Can you give an example? Progressives use Muslims as a tool against Christ, e.g., equating them with Christians in their pantheon of diversity, reducing all member religions to hollow aesthetic specimens in Mammon’s Hall of Tolerance, but Muslims are not allies in that endeavor. Muslims leverage the weaknesses of Progressives to advance their own agenda, e.g., hiding behind freedom of speech to attack the liberal foundations of free speech.
If you’re making a “the enemy of my enemy is my friend” argument, I can roll with that, but it sounds like you’re making a more substantive claim by putting anti-Christ, rather than “anti-non-Progressives” and “anti-non-Muslims,” at the center of their peace. Christ is in the end, of course, the center of everything, but if there were a stubbornly orthodox Hindu presence in the fray, I think they would draw the similar ire from these forces.
“He who is not with me is against me, and he that gathereth not with me scattereth abroad.”

On the anti-Christ groups working together, it brought to mind this:
Every kingdom divided against itself will be ruined, and every city or household divided against itself will not stand. If Satan drives out Satan, he is divided against himself. How then can his kingdom stand?
Implication that Satan has a standing kingdom and doesn’t work against himself …
