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

Joe Carter of The Gospel Coalition Endorses “Non-Sexual” Gay Civil Unions

By Davis Carlton

The title is unfortunately not satire. Though even I am surprised at how quickly mainstream conservative evangelicalism has become conformed to the world. Joe Carter, or Joke Harder as he is affectionately known in our circles, begins by noting the recent endorsement of gay marriage by David French. Carter admits that French’s position has received “considerable backlash” and seeks to articulate a tenable alternative while addressing French’s concern, which is that he wants “gay couples to enjoy marriage-equivalent legal protections but without changing the legal definition of marriage.” 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

Custer Suffered From Ethnic Animosity, According to Doug Wilson

By Enos Powell

You can read this article as originally posted at Iron Ink.

One of the sticking points between Doug Wilson and I is the definition of what constitutes ethnic animosity and/or ethnic vainglory. We both agree that ethnic animosity and/or ethnic vainglory is not Christian but as to how to define that, well, the devil is in the details isn’t it?

Before we work on a definition on my end, I have to note that raising the warning to whites of the dangers of ethnic animosity and/or ethnic vainglory, in this cultural moment is, in my estimation, akin to one of Noah’s sons on the ark going bat-snit crazy warning about a coming drought while the rains fell down and the floods came up. “Umm… thanks for the warning son, but for right now could you please just cover that leak in the ark with some pitch?” read more

A Kinist Take on Elizabeth II’s Life, Reign, and Death

Queen Elizabeth II's death ignites sensitive debate over Africa's colonial past

By Colby Malsbury

Elizabeth II, Dei Gratia Britanniarum Regnorumque Suorum Ceterorum Regina, Consortionis Populorum Princeps, Fidei Defensor for 70 years, 7 months, and 2 days, went to face the LORD God on September 8, 2022.

Well….bye.

I don’t know if Tribal Theocrat has any Anglican readership to speak of, but if it does I’m sure I just alienated the tens of…well, tens of them with that bit of disrespectful effrontery. Well, that’s too bad. I’m not in the habit of cultivating the opinions of people who think standing a full day in queue to pay homage to any mere mortal is a civic duty rather than a ghoulish morbidity more apropos to caressing an embalmed Lenin’s cheek in worship, or to ensuring that Stalin is really and truly dead. read more
