Orthosphere in two paragraphs.
This is the best explanation as to why the secular, modern project has failed, and as MacIntyre argues, we need to return to something akin to Christendom. The biggest problem with Separation of Church and State is not that it is wrong, but that it does not and cannot exist. So long as every living … Continue reading Orthosphere in two paragraphs.
Spine and reconciliation
One of the issues that we are facing is that many of the people who are involved in the alt right / orthosphere / Christian traditionalists (which are not the same thing) is that we will fight. We will always fight. There are some issues that we need to correct each other on. None of … Continue reading Spine and reconciliation
Readings & vive le differance
I play reconciler at work. I play reconciler at home (two teenage boys. Fights. Will. Happen).

You see, at work we have to get in and physically stop these things. (The Police … Continue reading Readings & vive le differance
Not “Ooh Shiny”

We are judged by our actions.

He found that an assignment he thought was due next Thursday is due today: He was reading history texts (at year 12 you are expected to find the original sources not merely regurgitate the textbook) until well after midnight fueled by adrenalin and caffeine. … Continue reading Do not use your enemies tools.
