Yesterday I received this letter from Josh Abbotoy, executive director of American Reformer and managing director of New Founding, demanding that I retract and delete a tweet I posted last week re: American Reformer.

Image
Image
Image
Per their request that I reply by end of day today, I am retracting and deleting my tweet.
Why am I doing this?

Josh Abbotoy is a senior leader in both American Reformer and New Founding, as noted in his current Twitter bio. Image
Nate Fischer is also a senior leader in both orgs, as noted in his Twitter bio re: New Founding and in his bio on the American Reformer website:
Image
Image
Additionally, American Reformer and New Founding are listed as having the same business address in the Dallas, TX area.
So my error was claiming that American Reformer partnered with a Nazi.

The more correct claim is that another org with broadly similar leadership and listed at the same address called New Founding is partnering with a Nazi, as Fischer himself announced last week. Image
Who is Raw Egg Nationalist? REN is a social media influencer, writer, and editor. He publishes a magazine called Man's World and also is a published author with Antelope Hill Publishing.
On his social media platform, he routinely posts content like this.

Note that the quote he shares here is an excerpt from Mein Kampf, by Adolf Hitler. Image
In another post, he claims there are "zog chemicals" in shampoo.

"zog" refers to "zionist occupational government" and is a common anti-Semitic conspiracy theory. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zionist_O…
Image
He also sometimes posts "HH," which is a social media shorthand for "Heil Hitler." Note how his followers respond in kind:
Image
Image
He also sells "Blood, Soil, and Grass-fed beef."

"Blood and soil" was a common Nazi slogan that was also chanted by protestors at the Unite the Right protestors in Charlottesville, VA. cnn.com/2017/08/12/us/…
Image
There are also tweets like these from his account, the same account that Fischer tagged in his announcement about their partnership.
Image
Image
As for his publisher, Antelope Hill, their most famous author is Adolf Hitler himself. antelopehillpublishing.com/product/in-his…
They also publish a text called "A New Nobility of Blood and Soil," which is another prominent Nazi text. antelopehillpublishing.com/product/a-new-…
Now let's talk about Man's World.

In its first issue, there are multiple pages of pornography. So in addition to being a Nazi, he is also a pornographer.

(I will not be linking to the issue or saying what pages the porn is on.)
That said, you can view all of the past issues of Man's World on their website: mansworldmag.online/magazines/
Issue 1 also includes multiple ads for Bronze Age Pervert's podcast Caribbean Rhythms. You can get a good rundown on BAP from the recent Atlantic story: theatlantic.com/magazine/archi…
Issue 2 includes an essay from BAP as well as a defense of fascism by mid-century French author Pierre Drieu La Rochelle, a French fascist and Nazi collaborator during World War II. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pierre_Dr…
Issue 3 includes an essay on "The Biology of Hierarchy."

Issue 4 has BAP promo material, a vile ad on p. 6 joking about how the Taliban's re-conquest of Afghanistan will deprive Afghan women of the chance to create pornography, and an ad for fascist publisher Imperium Press.
You'll find more Blood and Soil stuff at Imperium Press: imperiumpress.org/shop/blood-soi…
Issue nine features pro-Rhodesian content, an ad for Antelope Hill, a short story about a man murdering his girlfriend on p. 285, and this extremely creepy ad.

There is also more porn in issue 9. Image
Issue 11 features ads for Antelope Hill, an ad for Stephen Wolfe and Thomas Achord's "Ars Politica" podcast, book reviews from Charles Haywood, and more creepy or racist ads.

Image
Image
Image
Additionally, issue 11 features promotional content for Arktos, a new right publishing house founded by a neo-Nazi skinhead from Sweden and former business partner with Richard Spencer, the organizer of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville. vice.com/en/article/3k3…
There are also multiple ads mocking the National Conservatism movement in the issue as well as a racist cartoon.
Image
Image
To review: Josh Abbotoy is demanding that I delete and retract my tweet alleging that an organization called American Reformer led by Nate Fischer and Josh Abbotoy and located in Dallas is working with a Nazi.
I am retracting that claim and have deleted the tweet.

My new claim is that an organization called New Founding led by Nate Fischer and Josh Abbotoy and located at the same address as American Reformer in Dallas is working with a Nazi who also publishes pornography.
I regret the imprecision of my previous tweet.

More Berry stuff; I spent about three years b/w 2010 and 2012 reading almost all his essays and fiction, and have been revisiting him this summer. All the old love and admiration has come back. He's a master. So, if you haven't read, some recommendations:
Also: Our oldest son is Robert Wendell, named for my dad and for Berry. We were able to introduce him to Berry in 2019 and got a picture of them together that will be a treasure to us and hopefully him forever.
1) If you're inclined to like his left agrarian traditionalism, dive into the essays. If you aren't, start with the fiction. The essays are in service to a world he loves and wants to preserve. But if you don't intuitively grasp that world, his fiction will show it to you.

After he finished reading the last book I did one of my friends asked if I meant to write a book in which my dad was the hero. I hadn't. But my parents are the kind of people who simply sound heroic when they're described truthfully. And I'm very grateful for them both.
This is dad before his brain injury. He loved being outside, hunting, walking around in nature, sitting in trees watching the sun rise. And he regarded nature with a right kind of reverence and care. You'll never meet a more conscientious hunter than my dad. Image
He also had an old beast of a pickup that he drove when he went out hunting. It was ancient and he bought it used and then painted it with a winter camo design that looked pretty awesome, IMO: Image

I first came across Tim Keller's name around 2005 or 2006. I grew up in the kind of church that thinks John MacArthur is a liberal and so I was doing the old millennial version of deconstructing pretty hard by my senior year of high school.
My parents were praying for me lots and we'd made a deal where a) I wasn't allowed to attend our church anymore, b) I needed to be in *a* church on Sunday till I graduated, c) whatever I did after graduation, our relationship would remain. They wouldn't shun me, in other words.
So I was bouncing around a bit, reading Don Miller and Rob Bell and Brian McLaren and also John Piper (this was back when Rob Bell had a footnote in Velvet Elvis saying "read everything John Piper has ever written") and Mark Driscoll and CS Lewis.
