Friends and Enemies
Manage episode 516273163 series 2561703
I argue that in the culture war—amid Christianity’s collapse (only 18% of Zoomers remain deeply religious), the Left’s 2020 tyranny, and the Right’s self-destructive infighting (as Matt Walsh warns)—Christian conservatives may engage in limited co-belligerency with unlikely allies to defend our way of life, but only when three pillars remain intact: intention (preserving inherited order against existential threats, per Scruton, Abram’s pagan rescue of Lot in Genesis 14, and Nehemiah’s wall); identity (Schmitt’s friend/enemy distinction, rejecting liberalism’s failed pluralism and decisionism’s tyranny, favoring federalism); and integrity (unbreakable moral lines—Daniel’s refusal, Joseph’s flight, and Paradine’s rejection of witchcraft in “The Valley Was Still”). Any alliance that demands we compromise conscience, blur our distinctions, or induce sin is strictly forbidden—no exceptions.
