“Norman Mailer has pointed out that the modern outsider to God and law finds his hero in the Negro, whom he sees as a ‘natural and social adventurer sworn against respectability, conformity, dullness, and emotional timidity. The modern ‘white Negro’ is a man who imagines the Negro to be the ideal man, a natural anarchist and nihilist, and therefore social hero. Moreover, to gain the acceptance of the Negro, irrespective of his character, is to gain a victory against law and standards in the name of equality.
“There is indication already of another ‘civil rights’ offensive as a next step after the Negro: ‘the sodomite may be partially replacing the Negro as an object of liberal solicitude and the prime test of liberal tolerance. If there is no God and no divinely ordained law, then not only does perversion have equal rights, but actually, truer rights, because Christian morality is seen as an imposition on an a dehumanization of man, whereas perversion is an act of liberty and autonomy for this school of thought.”
“In any case, the goal is, whether directly or slowly total destruction of Christian civilization. Some have called for … a long period of chaos and revolution, and the total destruction of civilization.”
R. J. Rushdoony
Roots of Reconstruction – p. 618
Much of this began with the age of Romanticism and its infatuation with the idea of the Noble Savage. Initially the noble savage was identified with the American Indian. Because the American Indian was untouched by civilization, the American Indian bore a automatic nobility about him per the Romanticists. As time continued the noble savage mantle passed on to others. In Rushdoony’s time it was the American Negro that was seen as the noble savage. Precisely because he was not civilized, as seen by crime rates, the civil rights movement latched on to the cause of the American Negro and the championing of civil rights became proof positive of one’s own nobility. To support the noble savage in one’s midst was to clothe one’s self with nobility.
As Rush mentions, the status of “more of a noble savage than thou” eventually passed on to the sodomite. Until the rise of the Tranny, it was the sodomite and lesbian who were the noblest of all noble savages. To be friends with a sodomite or a lesbian proved how much humanity one had, just as previously having friends among Negroes once proved how broad minded one was. Now of course the class of people who get to be designated “the most noble savage of all the noble savages” are those who have had their breasts or genitals removed. Well, unless they are out positioned by the pederasts and pedophiles.
Of course, all this corresponds perfectly with the cultural Marxist work of the long march through the Institutions. The Cultural Marxists have recruited these very same noble savages as well as the adjacent noble savages to overthrow civilization. Cultural Marxism was a good fit with American Romanticism in this regard. As such, it is the case, that the noble savages have turned our whole former Christian civilization into a vast jungle of savagery.
Even our “Conservative” Christian churches have pursued this Noble Savage theme as seen in their embrace of “MLK 50” and their embrace of Side-B sodomy and their embrace of Rev. Greg Johnson and Sam “honest, I can resist temptation” Allberry. The Christian churches with their overt hostility to traditional, heritage and historic Christianity are doing all they can to rid themselves of people who would write honest prose as I have given here. If they hated Rushdoony when he was alive (and they did) how much more do they hate anybody today who dares quote RJR approvingly? The “conservative” Christian church in the West today with their thoroughly Romanticist/Cultural Marxist inclinations is aiding and abetting the end of Christian civilization all in the name of being “nicer than Jesus ever was.”
This is all proven by the fact that NAPARC churches today would NEVER ordain a Knox, a Calvin (read his pamphlet on the Jews), a Chrysostom, a Machen, a Van Til, Luther, etc. The modern conservative church today is the enemy of historic Biblical Christianity. If you’re in one of these NAPARC churches (yes, I understand there are always exceptions) you are supporting the very thing that Rushdoony warned of in the quote. If you are supporting NAPARC churches and clergy (or the CREC) then you are “Noble Savage adjacent.”)
