Doug Wilson Defines Ethnicity

By Davis Carlton

Doug Wilson has recently produced a video on his Blog & Mablog YouTube channel in which he undertakes a definition of ethnicity. As a Kinist or ethno-nationalist I believe that ethnicity is essential to national identity. This means that understanding ethnicity is critical to understanding the Biblical approach to national identity. I made this case when I noted that the simple question: What is a nation? is able to show the clear problems with those who reject a Kinist understanding of nationhood. Many who reject Kinism will say that they also reject globalism as an opposing extreme while tacitly accepting globalist principles and undercutting any real basis for national distinctions based upon their false, half-baked definitions of nationhood. I applaud Wilson’s efforts at defining ethnicity because, as I mentioned before, this is the direction that the conversation needs to take. Unfortunately, I find Wilson’s rhetoric only continues to muddy the waters rather than providing needed clarity. read more

Some Kinist Musings on the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict, Version 20.0 or Whatever

By Colby Malsbury

It would be hilarious if it weren’t so painfully obvious and stilted.

Not even a week after national security adviser/amateur soothsayer Jake Sullivan cooed that the Middle East was at its quietest since 9/11, Israel engaged in the utterly thinkable and wrought yet another botched attempt to drive Amalek – whom you might be better acquainted with as ‘Palestine’ – into the sea. It’s a generational rite of passage at this point in history, emerging like clockwork every ten years like a Red Sox pennant race or a Rothschild-financed ‘grassroots protest movement’ that’s gonna topple the existing globalist regime for one and all times. read more

The Doxxing of Pedro Gonzalez

By Davis Carlton

Pedro Gonzalez is a right-wing pundit who has recently been “doxxed” on Breitbart as a “racist” and “anti-Semite.” Screenshots of private conversations that Gonzalez had with others years ago were posted in order to reveal that Gonzalez should be “canceled” given that his opinions of non-whites and Jews are to be considered beyond the pale of acceptable opinion. Gonzalez has become a vocal critic of former President Donald Trump and alleges that the leaks were made by former friends that are upset about Gonzalez leaving the “Trump Train” for good. Gonzalez is now a supporter of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis. read more

Mass Migration Won’t Save Us: A Response to Tim Keller

By Davis Carlton

Tim Keller has decided to formally endorse the Great Replacement as a means of bringing about “revival” in American Christianity. Keller is by no means alone. Recently Joel Berry of the Babylon Bee suggested that “mass immigration could save this country” and that we could prevent them from becoming “a permanent underclass voting bloc” by simply “assimilating them.” Apparently this was not intended as satire. Keller argues that Christians must acknowledge and even embrace the demographic shift that can only accurately be described as white genocide in order to grow the American Christian church and stem the tide of secularism. Keller believes that the emerging nonwhite population of America could embrace a version of Christianity that is concerned with advocating for “social justice” as a main priority. read more

Responding To Neil Shenvi’s Objections To Christian Nationalism

By Davis Carlton

Neil Shenvi has written a multi-part review of Stephen Wolfe’s Defense of Christian Nationalism. I found a link to Shenvi’s review from an article by Kevin DeYoung on The Gospel Coalition denouncing “right-wing wokeism.” There is much in DeYoung’s article that needs to be addressed, but for now I wanted to address Shenvi’s objections to Christian nationalism because many within the evangelical mainstream admire DeYoung. Shenvi offers three objections to Christian nationalism as it is presented by Stephen Wolfe. Wolfe is ambiguous about the meaning of a nation. Wolfe is also ambiguous about the meaning and application of ethnicity. Finally, Wolfe wrongly assumes that national identity would have developed irrespective of the Fall. I don’t intend to speak on Stephen Wolfe’s behalf. He is more than capable of responding to his own critics, but I do think that I can provide a Kinist perspective on these issues. read more

The Cost of True Faithfulness: Comments on the Persecution of Thomas Achord

By Davis Carlton

“And ye shall be hated of all men for my name’s sake” – Matthew 10:22

“Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me.For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it.” – Matthew 16:24-25

“If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.” – John 15:18

I don’t know Thomas Achord personally but I wish that I did. I know of Thomas through social media, through his commentary with Stephen Wolfe on the Ars Politica podcast, and through his co-authorship with Darrell Dow of the masterpiece Who is My Neighbor? An Anthology of Natural Relations. I always find his posts and comments on Facebook to be wise, insightful, and articulate. Thomas is able to speak to controversial topics without rendering needless offense in a concerted effort to maintain peace. I have found Thomas to be a true “man’s man” who combines his considerable learning with practical knowledge that he is able to use as a provider and protector of his family. It’s without exaggeration that I can say that Thomas Achord provides an excellent example for other men to follow. I often feel challenged in a good way by Thomas’s posts to better myself. read more

Lamb’s Reign Jumps On the Anti-Christian Nationalism Bandwagon, And It’s Anything But Beautiful

Being Slaves in the Land of Egypt Was SO Unfair | Steven Greenberg | The Blogs

By Colby Malsbury

That which is old sure becomes new again in a flash, doesn’t it?

How long have we Kinists been arguing the merits of theonomic race-based nationhood on social media? Fifteen years, minimum? We blew up the message boards. We got the 30 day exiles on Facebook. We became nonentities via the tender mercies of the Twitter algorithm. And yet, ever since the days of Trump the response from Team Church has been to declare the science is settled and ignore us, hoping that we’ll go away and they can get back to holding coffee klatches at important conferences and discuss exclusive psalmody to death. read more

Dracula, the Wandering ((( ))), and ‘Blood Libel’

By Ehud Would

A large portion of this essay could be written from either end of the spectrum, Right or Left. Were I a Leftist, however, it would be a “call-out” and cancellation of Bram Stoker and the entirety of the Vampire genre. Even the Vampire archetype, itself.

But as a Christian, I necessarily approach the matter from the Right. Which means I can embrace the DRACULA story for the sociopolitical analogy the author meant it to be. Something which bears intrinsically on our contemporary political scene. read more

Why Not Both? Doug Wilson Asks Whether National Identity Should be Determined By Covenant or Race

By Davis Carlton

Doug Wilson has posted a couple of articles on Blog & Mablog (or as Pastor Bret cleverly refers to it; Blog and Mehblog). Wilson attempts to develop an alternative in his blog posts addressing national identity in which he asks if identity should be determined by “covenant or color” (see Part 1 and Part 2). Wilson’s covenant vs. color argument depends upon the tired and vapid equation of race with mere superficial color differences. More problematic is that Wilson has posed a false dichotomy. Covenants are central to Christianity, but there is nothing about the nature or existence of covenants that is remotely opposed to ethno-nationalism. read more

Mild Exasperation: A Response to Doug Wilson

By Davis Carlton

Doug Wilson has recently responded to criticism from Pastor Bret McAtee with a video on his YouTube channel. Pastor Bret has provided a thorough response on Iron Ink, and Wilson’s blog post has also caught the attention of Vox Day. I have just a few additional thoughts of my own to contribute to the discussion. Wilson begins by stating, “Here we are defending our culture helms deep, and the next wave of orcs comes swarming up the walls. And then suddenly down our rampart a little bit I hear the cry raised by the Kinists, ‘Just shoot at the darker ones.’ I would suggest mildly, and with just a hint of exasperation, that somebody doesn’t know what the Hell is going on!” read more
