You Can't Spell 'Culture' Without 'Cult'

Chesterton famously said that an idea that's attacked from both sides for opposing reasons is probably true.

Even the most historically illiterate of our guys have to acknowlege that the ruling cult's rise to dominance tracked with Christendom's abandonment of Christ. After all, you can't spell "culture" without "cult".

Another great philosopher, Bruce Lee, observed that when you understand the problem, you have the solution. Since forsaking Christianity plunged us into Clown World, the obvious solution is returning to Christ.

Yet a small but vocal contingent of dissidents remain psyoped by the same evil forces they rail against. Some will even admit that the Death Cult won by seizing the moral high ground. Nevertheless, those same self-styled rightists reject the Right's original throne-and-altar platform to worship Mammon, Moloch, or Narcissus.

Peel back the surface layer of race idolatry, and these guys are pretty much Libertarians. They just want to move away from the ghetto and next door to white Christians.

What they won't do is follow the one moral vision that's proven equal to the task of waging spiritual warfare for the West and winning.

Because at the end of the day, the nupagan crowd wants pre-1965 demographics with post-1968 morality. Their vices blind them to the fact that those circumstances are mutually exclusive.

"Every man who doubts God's existence does so because he has some reason for wanting to," wrote a Church Father.

The addictive nature of sin, its tendency to dim the intellect, and the tragedy of the commons together make an invincible argument against liberal democracy.

In a democracy where individual preference is the measure of the good, the overwhelming majority end up voting for and with their own wallets, stomachs, or crotches.

And because democracy's only solution to every problem is more democracy, it inevitably ends up in the same kind of death spiral we're stuck in right now.

Again, understanding the problem gives you the solution. The answer that's attacked by Wokists and wignats alike for opposite reasons is most likely the right one.

"But Christianity is so cucked!" Millennials on X complain. "Show me a based church, and I'll sign up. Till then, I'll stay consumed with self-worship at the gym and crotch worship on Pronhub."

But that superficial, consoomerist worldview fuels BoomerLib and nupagan attacks against the Church. Because both camps commit the same category error of conflating religion and politics, when politics is downstream from religion.

Ironically, most of these types will parrot Andrew Breitbart's meme "Politics is downstream from culture."

But again, you can't spell "culture" without "cult".

That fact escapes Modernists on the Left and supposed Right alike. Because when personal preference is the sole measure of worth, even religion is seen as just another product.

Consider that other normieCon meme "the marketplace of ideas." It assumes from the start that ideas are just another commodity.

That is the poisoned soil in which the Death Cult grew. Authentic dissent against Wokism can't survive there.

Here's an idea: Approach religion with intellectual ingrity.

If you're serious about finding truth, first acknowledge that it's not up for a vote.

Truth binds in conscience, and breaking it is moral treachery.

The defining standard of Western morality is Christianity, regardless of whether or not it's popular to say so.

Politics is downstream from culture, and culture is the concrete expression of religion. That's why political wonks have no standing to pass judgment on the Church.

That's why nupagans commit folly by viewing religion as a tool for political ends. It's also why they've never gotten anywhere and never will.

Because trying to subordinate faith, which is concerned with eternal ends, to politics, which is concerned with temporal ends, is a nonstarter.

What they miss is that no created goods, including philosophies, nations, and races, exist as ends in and of themselves. Instead, they are ordered toward higher ends, that being the glory of God their creator.

"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God."

That's good advice. And no political movement will achieve its goals unless and until it gets those priorities straight
