The Great Awokening

"My impression is the Great Awokening is a sort of post-Protestant new gentility that worships blacks precisely because it’s so hard not to slip up and notice / mention ungenteel truths about blacks." - @Steve_Sailer https://t.co/huV5DhBZKm

Climbing on the Anti-Puritan Trend?
My latest, in @PublicDiscourse, in which I try to explore the connections between far-left and right protest movements and, among other things, Puritanism. https://t.co/S6TSiJVFOz

Which Narrative?
An Evangelical hero from 18th century Virginia actually resembles a modern-day radical left activist. There might be a bigger point there. https://t.co/yBUI3fD5kA

Versus something more along the lines of a paleo or Southern conservative narrative.
NEW William Murchison on today's Puritans in black Ts and tats: their moral-political fanaticism belies the same centuries old, self-righteous desire to purify. https://t.co/SdqBhb4tdt

Rich Lowry Trying to Sell a Book
But what exactly does Lowry mean by “nationalism”? Lowry approvingly quotes Anthony Smith, who defines nationalism as “a belief that all those who shared a common history and culture should be autonomous, united, and distinct in their recognized homelands.” We can break this down into two distinct propositions, both once widely held but now sharply contested.
A relic of 20th ce Yankee civic nationalism.

Neo-Yankee Statists First
Sadly, the piece by Msgr. Pope is reflective of the American Catholic intellectual class - little awareness of the role of the state (in conjunction with the oligarchs they may actually recognize) in the centralization of power and the destruction of community and tradition, and a failure to name the radical ideologies and movements, like liberalism and feminism, that have been used to supplant tradition. No prominent Catholic is going to name feminism as a problem that needs to be solved, and as a factor in the decline of the United States.
Msgr. Pope should read Sir John Glubb.

States' Rights
Most modern historians reject any suggestion that the South fought the Civil War over states’ rights. They insist that the only states’ rights the South cared about, “as neo-confederates are loath to admit,” was slavery.… »
