He was an editor of Breitbart who was extremely harsh and petty with identity-politics types. He gained a rave following among Alt-Right. To see what I mean by Hyper-flamboyant, just put his name in google and see how he dresses for his lectures and circuits. He is not just gay, but George Michael gay. The pseudo-paedophilia thing was really a last straw sort of thing. But he represents this turn towards a conservatism shorn of most of what we'd call traditional life.<br /><br />But this is something I've expected. What is the soul of the Conservative movement? It's machismo, valorizing military feats, daisy dukes, cars, etc. This also marks the reveling in Medieval history that has become more politique. This will, in different ways and forms, combine with the kind of Evangelicalism that, now washed of any ethical demand (i.e. Christianity is a relationship, not a religion; its about grace etc etc etc.) or sobriety, will become a potent mix for the decades to come.Cal of Chelcicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04274276191242967318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319172106392132510.post-40087843165887638302017-02-22T19:15:04.119-05:002017-02-22T19:15:04.119-05:00Yes indeed and it has invaded the Church too.
Loo...Yes indeed and it has invaded the Church too.<br /><br />Look at Penny Young Nance's 'Feisty and Feminine'. This is a woman who is the head of Concerned Women for America. She doesn't understand what femininity is, let alone the Christian variety.<br /><br />And then just today I see a guy from a local Evangelical Church that's running for office. He's a stay-at-home dad.<br /><br />Just announcing that in public would have finished his campaign just a 20 years ago. The cultural transformation has been profound.<br /><br />But Feminism is different in Europe. It's maybe a little less offensive in some ways. I don't know much about this Milo guy. I first caught his name with regard to the Berkeley thing. Is he like Pym Fortuyn a Right-wing gay guy or something? And then what he made some kind of paedophilia comment?<br /><br />Have you seen the new male make-up models? I wrote a post on that a few days back. I'll get around to posting it soon.<br /><br />I can totally understand some of the grievances of feminism. There was a great deal of hypocrisy and the double-standard should be loathsome to Christians but obviously our culture has jumped off the cliff. I don't think there's any going back.Protoprotestanthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18217567607160768261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2319172106392132510.post-65524057634238706402017-02-22T18:29:25.429-05:002017-02-22T18:29:25.429-05:00I also find it interesting that the right-wing of ...I also find it interesting that the right-wing of Europe is pretty insistent on the legacy of Feminism (in the more cultural sort), divorce, and gay rights. While that's not new, it's interesting to see it imported to an American context with the popularity (and perhaps fall) of someone like Milo, a hyper-flamboyant fairy.<br /><br />In someways, this is the world that the Betty Freidan's and Gloria Steinem's of the world created.Cal of Chelcicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04274276191242967318noreply@blogger.com
