Now for an application. Eric Raymond is not of Christ and he is not of the Alt-Right: he is an old fashioned pagan libertarian. I like him, though I disagree with him. And he wants the left to start rethinking and again become the party of the people.
You Democrats don’t just need to reform your rhetoric about racism and sexism, you need to reform your attitude towards the voters to a place from which your present rhetoric looks as vicious and absurd as it does to them.
It’s all of a piece. You’ve forgotten how to be the party of the people. Trump was the price of that forgetfulness. Now, you need to relearn it, for all our sakes.
But a commentator disagrees. He thinks that the non majority can rule.
The premise of the article is false. The Democrats are still in power and they are still winning. All the demographic trends are against the Republicans and in favour of the Democrats. Being the Anti-White Party still becomes more powerful each cycle. Trump is a blip caused by more American whites realising that they are facing an Anti-White Party, leading to consolidation of the white vote, but the trend is still toward the total white vote, and total historical Republican demographic vote, becoming a strict minority in the United States in the very near future.
The Democrats will need to rethink their strategy if Trump actually reverses dysgenic immigration and dysgenic fertility in the United States in a way that seems like it cannot be overturned in 2-3 terms. That is very unlikely to happen. What is more likely is that Trump will delay the US becoming a one party state by 10-20 years (this will look like Jeb Bush becoming the extreme right of the Republicans, rather than a literal one party state; there is always space for two figureheads saying the same thing).
Why hit on this rather corrupt and old party? They are crying, and we should be merciful.
Firstly, it is not merciful to leave someone in error.
And secondly, the liberal church is the Democratic party in prayer: holding the form of religion but denying the power of it, wanting the church to not preach Christ but progressivism in a manner to them preaching democracy and stuffing ballot boxes.
They simply have no skin in the game: they live in their political and academic bubble isolated from real life. (Taleb does not mind a repost in its entirety, but that is too much, go read his paper)
Now when John heard in prison about the deeds of the Christ, he sent word by his disciples and said to him, “Are you the one who is to come, or shall we look for another?” And Jesus answered them, “Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind receive their sight and the lame walk, lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear, and the dead are raised up, and the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is the one who is not offended by me.”
As they went away, Jesus began to speak to the crowds concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind?
(Matthew 11:2-7 ESV)
These are waterless springs and mists driven by a storm. For them the gloom of utter darkness has been reserved. For, speaking loud boasts of folly, they entice by sensual passions of the flesh those who are barely escaping from those who live in error. They promise them freedom, but they themselves are slaves of corruption. For whatever overcomes a person, to that he is enslaved. For if, after they have escaped the defilements of the world through the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, they are again entangled in them and overcome, the last state has become worse for them than the first. For it would have been better for them never to have known the way of righteousness than after knowing it to turn back from the holy commandment delivered to them. What the true proverb says has happened to them: “The dog returns to its own vomit, and the sow, after washing herself, returns to wallow in the mire.”
(2 Peter 2:17-22 ESV)
This is convergence. To be in the wasteland, and not find food nor water, and to call it good. To be enslaved by your desires, and call any who see this error as phobic, of haters.
To praise that obesity that will kill you, or the perversion that places the health of your community at risk.
They are doubling down, as predicted. They will continue the policies of failure until disaster. And they wonder why they are not voted into power, or why their very credentialed and trained pastors cannot get or keep a congregation.
It is because we know the apostate.
And we know to shun them.
