The idea that defending and celebrating identity, whether religious, national or tribal, makes you «woke right» is insane. The solution to tyrannical use of identity, both as identitarian excess on the right and anti-identity on the left is traditional subsidiarity. Liberalism in its tendency to reduce the relationship of identity to an opposition of individual to collective necessarily leads to globalism as it has no mechanism for defending or celebrating corporate identities as such except for their participation in liberalism’s own philosophical positions.

Ok, now that internet Orthodoxy has settled, I would like to make an important point. Many people vented their Holy Rage™, seeing my friend Jordan Peterson wear the design of the Calvary Cross on his blazer. The argument made is that this design is used on the Holy Schema, a vestment given to monks which is related to certain vows or accomplishments depending on the tradition. It was seen as mocking or disrespectful by people to use this design while not being a monk. Now, there are a few problems with this. One is that what Jordan Peterson was wearing was not the Great Schema, it was a blazer with a pattern of the Calvary Cross on it. No one in the world would mistake the Schema for a blazer and vice versa. I know this might seem obvious, though I guess it is not to many people. The pattern of the Calvary Cross is a universal pattern with a long history, and is used in many contexts apart from the Great Schema.

Google Gemini is a nice image of one of the dangers of AI as we give it more power. Ideology is so thickly overlaid that it skews everything, then doubles down. First image looks about right, but scroll down. What? What is this?

Arrogant secularists like the folks at @GurusPod know so little about demonology, witches or witchcraft law, yet they "virtue signal" myself and @vervaeke_john about these like we were still in 2007, with all the usual high-minded atheist bluster. The usual technique when faced with what Church scholars have always taught, is to accuse the higher interpretation of being obfuscation or modern re-interpretation. Better still, saying it is gibberish. In the podcast, @C_Kavanagh said demons are traditionally physical beings!

My patience for atheists sometimes wanes dramatically, listening to Stephen Fry with @jordanbpeterson clamor on his high-horse about how as an empiricist he cannot understand human sacrifice really brings me to the brink. As the ancient religious societies waned, the entire world 100 years ago was on the brink of total collapse. To stop this, the political stability of our current world has been based on two massive human sacrifices which have overshadowed all other narratives since the end of WW2
