What multiculturalism is not:
- foreign food and diverse skin tones

What multiculturalism is: 🧵
Palestinians in London cheering over the rape and murder of Israeli civilians
Truckloads of military aged males waving Hamas flags in Ontario suburbs
Middle Eastern ethnic conflict in Times Square
Flag burnings accompanied by shouts of “allahu akbar” on the streets of Glasgow, Scotland (where the most common baby name is Muhammad, btw)

Pro-Intifada rallies in Ottawa
Riot cops versus Keffiyeh-clad protestors on the streets of Berlin

Real leaders of men have been absent from our highest ranks for generations. It’s not that Washingtons, Pattons, and Lees don’t exist anymore, but that they are barred from power in a system that actively selects against men like them.🧵

Machiavelli famously divides leaders into the two broad categories of Foxes, who rely on wit and subterfuge to achieve their goals; and Lions, who rely on strength, force, and stubbornness. It's obvious which type corresponds most closely to the modern American elite.
2/ Image
James Burnham argues that Vilfredo Pareto in his “The Mind and Society” expands on Machiavelli’s distinction in his theory of “residues,” six in total, but with residues I and II corresponding respectively to the Fox and Lion.

In 1558, Saint Teresa of Avila received a vision of hell. Her account is simple and concise, yet perhaps the most bone-chilling of its kind on record.

I recount it here.
1/
Teresa was one day in prayer, and with no warning found herself transported. Highly advanced in prayer and already well-attuned to the divine voice, she understood immediately that it was God’s will that she “should see the place which the devils kept in readiness for [her].”
2/
She recounts first the entrance: “a long narrow pass, like a furnace, very low, dark, and close. The ground seemed to be saturated with water, mere mud, exceedingly foul, sending forth pestilential odors, and covered with a loathsome vermin.”

The most revealing, succinct exposition of socialist pathologies I've ever seen is Oscar Wilde's 1891 essay "The Soul of a Man Under Socialism"

Lurking just below the surface of every socialist virtue is a vice: hatred, selfishness, envy, resentment.

Care for a vague, impersonal "humanity" as an excuse to shirk one's own duty to his fellow man.

Dostoevsky: "The more I love humanity in general the less I love man in particular. [...] As soon as anyone is near me, his personality disturbs me and restricts my freedom."

"Disbobedience" as a virtue.

Not sure what history he's referring to here. Genesis 3, perhaps?

Happy Memorial Day.

Roosevelt did Pearl Harbor. Mega 🧵
1/ Image
The common mythology of Pearl Harbor goes something like this:
Prior to December 7th, 1941, the FDR admin was engaged in ongoing, good faith negotiations with Japan. Then the latter carried out her dastardly, unprovoked surprise attack, forcing the US into entering WWII.
2/ Image
Because Japan was working with Germany in an evil Axis bent on world domination, the US was forced to go to war with them too. Notice how nicely this fits with the broader 20th century story of the US utterly destroying all her enemies and conquering the world in self-defense.

Theodore Parker and the de-Christianization of Christianity 🧵

One of the most important Americans you’ve never heard of:
1/ Image
I previously discussed the long and abiding influence of Unitarianism on American history as the primary religious progenitor of modern Progressivism (see threads linked here for an introduction to the topic, though they only scratch the surface)
2/
In brief, the 16th through 19th centuries saw the gradual movement of “liberal religion” toward the “liberal” and away from the “religion,” terminating at the completely post-Christian Christianity of the postwar era (Moldbug dubs this dominant creed “Universalism”)

It occurred to me that my previous thread addressed the “what,” but fell short in addressing the “why” of Unitarian/UU dominance. What was it about Unitarianism (and its successor systems) that allowed it to so consistently beat out its competitors? I briefly address: 🧵
1/
As Moldbug maintains, the generational victories of liberal protestantism are essentially adaptive rather than conscious processes. In other words, there are contingent societal forces placing selective pressure on ever-more liberal mutations of the same liberal gene.
2/ Image
As I mentioned in the previous thread, religious strife in Europe caused (mostly) protestant minorities to emigrate in droves to the New World. Many of these factions deeply hated each other (do Google “Calvin Servetus”), but they loved not fighting cataclysmic wars even more.
