Remember how when Trump got elected, a bunch of old-school Republicans were embarrassed by him because he kept saying the quiet part out loud?
That's Pavlovitz vs. evangelicals on Christian supremacy and hegemony.
He wants it just as much, but he wants it in coded language.

Like I don't know why the fuck you're still following this guy and buying his books.
Even if he *weren't* constantly going after Jews for talking about the effects of Christian hegemony, he doesn't say anything good that Black theologians aren't saying. Read them instead.

But more to the point, it would be enough if he weren't a cheap white knockoff of Christians of color preaching compassion and liberation.
But that's not all he is. He is a hardcore defender of Christian hegemony, and his primary move is always, always to defend the brand.

And that means that he'll ignore a bunch of evangelicals being gross in a thread--like many mainline Christians, he won't actually tank his relationship with evangelicals because their political muscle maintains the privilege from which he benefits--
in favor of going after any Jew that challenges the rightness of Christian hegemony. And he always does that in the most snide and condescending manner possible.
Because how DARE we get uppity. It's all peace and compassion

Like, he'll No True Scotsman about anyone making Christians look bad, but he won't confront them directly
he saves that for Jews and other non-Christians telling him to stop No True Scotsmanning
it's all about protecting the brand

like, sure, he's not the sort of white Christian supremacist who wants all non-Christians dead or deported
he just wants us as subjugated and constantly cognizant that we live among Christians on sufferance, so we'd BETTER praise true Christian goodness in chorus

why the FUCK are you following him and buying his books
also, bonus round:
check out how he treats Christian *women* who call him on his No True Scotsmanning

honestly, it reminds me of progressives' baffling insistence on continuing to follow Shaun King even after *gestures broadly* everything
