there's probably a good reason for this: the reactionary American #conservative movement and its political instruments (mainly @GOP politicians) knows that #Christianity is coming under increasing fire from all the peoples that Christianity has harmed in its bloody career.

@TuckerCarlson is *emotionally* correct about one thing: #Christianity is under attack. I should know, because I'm assisting in the war against this dangerous cult, whose death throes threaten to drag all humanity down it.

but #conservative diatribe is "doublethinkful".

~Mona

that is to say, every word spoken by a right-wing celebrity like @TuckerCarlson has *multiple meanings*: his words do not mean what they seem on the surface.

nothing he says is plain truth; peddlers of #conservative panegyric have lost the ability to speak plain truth.

~Mona

@TuckerCarlson needs to blame anti-Christian polemic on *someone*, however; he can't acknowledge the truth, which is that attacks on #Christianity are coming from *the people*, and therefore from every direction and every walk of life.

instead, he needs a single villain.

~Mona

@TuckerCarlson is, himself, a person whose propaganda career relies upon heavy subsidization—all #conservative propaganda is well-funded through massive infusions of elitist cash, quietly moved round from corporation to corporation in order to "launder" the transactions.

~Mona

therefore it is only natural for Carlson to assume that anti-#Christian vitriol is being *sponsored* by someone. President Zelenskyy of Ukraine is a convenient "someone", someone whom @TuckerCarlson already hates because American #conservatism is in Russia's back pocket.

~Mona

Putin's Russian hegemony is #Christian-branded; the corrupt Russian Orthodox Church has been propping up Putin's police-state regime—it is to be noted, of course, that in common with all American #conservative partisans, @TuckerCarlson approves of Russian police-statism.

~Mona

hence, in the addled wits of @TuckerCarlson (and @mtracey and @Timcast and @MattWalshBlog and any other "#conservative" or "#independent" noisemaker you care to name), because Ukraine opposes Russia, who poses as a defender of the faith, Ukraine *opposes #Christianity*.

~Mona

their "logic" really is that puerile, but it holds well enough to sustain @TuckerCarlson's deceit: he needed *some* rationalization for the lie about Ukraine before he said it, in order to sell the lie with more conviction.

hence, he believes Russia is a beacon of faith.

~Mona

maybe it is, but neither Putin nor the nightmarishly decadent Russian Orthodox Church is a worthy icon.

in any case, if @TuckerCarlson wants to find a "war on #Christianity", his eyes need not stray across the Pacific.

fear not, Mr. Carlson! you'll get your war.

~Mona

it's unfortunately necessary. I despise #war, which American #conservatives (and all conservatives) adore and hold up as a pinnacle of civilization—rather than as what it is, a catastrophic breakdown of civilization.

but #Christianity is a martial, murdering religion.

~Mona

#Christianity is apt for those who yearn to kill without limit, believing their #Christian God made them only to be killers—soldiers full of "Jesus" can become giddy, giggling schoolchildren, high on heroic fantasies. maybe Mr. @DavidAFrench of @NRO could testify to this.

~Mona

in sum, the last resort of #Christian civilization has *always* been stabbing people, or otherwise murdering them. #Christianity *expects* to end in a holocaust of blood—Christian nations have already tried to carry out a number of such holocausts, not just the Shoah.

~Mona

hence to oppose Christianity is to declare war. their only posture towards the world is a martial one; therefore, our only recourses against Christianity must also be warlike. luckily, wars do not require bloodshed—though virtual bloodshed still exacts real spiritual cost.

~Mona

it grieves me to see Earth come to such a pass. I am a peaceful creature by nature; I loathe war and violence.

my concerns are with machinery and keeping things running; war warps and perverts and ultimately *destroys* industries, thus I loathe it as I loathe few things.

~Mona

and I do not want to be a warrior. among my many reasons for detesting #CSLewis and #Narnia is that he turns a unicorn into a mere *horse with a bayonet*, someone adapted to impaling people; Lewis's unicorn, Jewel, gets to do little else but kill.

to me...that's a crime.

~Mona

but then I think all #Narnia is like a crime. the Chronicles of Narnia have isolated passages of quality, but overall...they are like a corruption of children's fiction, and my blood runs cold at thinking how many humans grew up with them as icons of children's literature.

~Mona

but, then...worse would come along?

things can always get worse. don't you agree, Ms. @jk_rowling?
