Woke Wars I was about Christians resisting the urge to go woke for Black people, as such impulses climaxed following the death of George Floyd, but since the publishing of Stephen Wolfe’s The Case For Christian Nationalism, the same impulse to go woke has shifted to a new protected class of small hat wearers.
Following his disgraceful exit from The Daily Wire, Jeremy Boreing launched his solo podcast. And he’s had a bit of a theme with his guests. In addition to fellow liberals like James Lindsay, Boreing has made it a thematic emphasis to rehabilitate hypocritical influencers who have shifted leftward. These include Lauren Southern and Nicolas Gage. In a recent episode where he attacks Christian Nationalism in an effort to brand it as a nazi movement, this theme continues.
The guests are Will Spencer, Ethan Hanson, and Jon Harris. Will Spencer is a failed manosphere influencer who got in with Stone Choir and then had a falling out with them only to become a liberal subversive. He is probably the most retarded man in this episode.
Ethan Hanson is a woke apologist who has a history of labeling people he disagrees with as nazis for not adhering to the Post War Consensus. This is a rare public appearance for him.
Jon Harris is a veteran from Woke Wars I who had one of the most influential podcasts fighting Critical Race Theory. However, in the last several months, there has been a noticeable shift in his posture. Once willing to attack the third rail issue of Judaism, he now promotes dispensationalism and defends Zionism, while having taken a trip to Israel. To his credit, Jon Harris is the only semblance of a voice of reason on this panel. He pushes back on the Proposition Nation position of the other three panelists, making it clear that Harris is too smart and too honorable to fit in with his new allies.
The Late Proposition Nation Debate
Jeremy Boreing and Jon Harris have an exchange on the Propositional Nation. Boreing erroneously asserts that America, Ancient Israel, and Modern Israel are all proposition nations. But none of these are, as the Bible called for 3 generations to immigrate. Modern Israel is a Jewish ethnostate that plays diaspora politics. And America was founded to be an Anglo-Saxon nation.
Boreing asserts that England was founded on geography while America was founded on ideals, but this is ahistorical. Geography was the main drving force of the American War of Independence. The inevitable clash of a distant colony and its old country was compounded by Parliament’s regulation of said geography, barring westward expansion and in an ultimate insult, giving the Ohio Valley to the French and Catholic Quebec in the intolerable Quebec Act. The Founding Fathers agreed on westward expansion even more than the finer details of self-government, as evident in the immediate territorial ambitions of majority of the 13 colonies, post-war.
Jeremy Boreing believes that America was not a distinct nation prior to 1776, but Jon Harris views America’s founding as much earlier than that; 1607 was the year he gave. As great as republicanism was in America’s founding, the economic and social cohesion of the colonies put them at odds with Parliament and the old country and was the primary driver of the War of Independence.
Christ Is King vs Black Lives Matter
Will Spencer plainly asserts that “Christ is King” is exclusionary to Jews and therefore bad. He clumsily equates it to Black Lives Matter and asserts that a pedantic Jordan Peterson-style bastardization of Socratic dialogue will break the spell of people saying Christ is King to hurt Jewish feelings.
Where to begin with this? Transgressing false religions is good, and saying Christ is King asserts Christ’s lordship as well as demonstrates courage in opposing Jewish sensibilities that have come to dominate media and culture. It’s hard to see the bad side of this.
As for the Black Lives Matter comparison, the similarities end at the effectiveness of the rallying cry. Will Spencer’s take that deconstructing the slogan is beyond wrong. The souring of Black Lives Matter came not through debate, because statistics and per capita are practically hate speech. Instead, it was constant videos of Black people committing crimes, often on police bodycam footage, that led to Black Fatigue and the decline of Black Lives Matter as a movement.
Economic Boomerism
Not even Dave Ramsay ascends to the level of boomer that Jeremy Boreing does when he asserts that Gen Z has no legitimate economic grievance. Boreing goes so far to say that Gen Z has the best economic outlook of any generation.
While young people have the advantage of democratized investing platforms that remove middlemen from their wealth creation, the Boomers had the economy on easy mode, from any historical perspective.
But Gen Z faces a brutal job market where they have to compete with the third world for jobs in their own country, and that’s after they complete the college degree they were told they needed. And who could forget the wildly inflated housing, a crisis created by innercity crime, immigration (legal and illegal), and cost-prohibitive regulations.
To say that it is Gen Z that has the economy on easy mode is a Boomer projection from someone who’s supposed to be a Millennial. This is how you lose in the market place of ideas.
No Positive Vision?
The last issue with the panel is that they assert that there is no positive vision for Christian Nationalism, which is patently false. Entrepreneurship, marriage, going to church, and having children are all widely encouraged in Christian Nationalism. And there are several niche businesses I can point to. The Christian Nationalists have a proverb, “You can just do things.” This is the epitome of encouraging positive action, building towards the future.
It’s worth noting that during this, Jeremy Boring argues for consent as a consent-based legal standard, instead of a morality-based legal standard which would leave no room to prohibit prostitution or sodomy.
Conclusion
Jeremy Boreing and his loser mentality deserve to have light shone on them, as the increased scrutiny of his ideas is one of the greatest boons for Christian Nationalism I can think of.
