Revolution; Its Downstream Impact On Male & Female Relations

“It was always the women, and above all, the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers-out of unorthodoxy.”

George Orwell
1984

Now consider the implications of this and the implications of the implications.

1.) If party propaganda can market compassion as being synonymous with conformity while also rebranding control with “care” the result is that the State taps into the feminine role as nurturers who champion compassion and care (conformity and control) in order to enforce ideological obedience from the citizenry. People will be forced to be compassionate and caring by the State.

2.) If propaganda combined with State action successfully wins over the young women market on this matter of “care and compassion”, the young men are sure to follow as young men will do almost anything to woo young women, up to and including, feminizing themselves in order to please and attract the pool of women whose nurturing side has been exploited by the State and the zeitgeist. This means that young men will now also be supporters of Statist command and control mechanism and that in order to woo women who support the State because those young women are convinced that the State is being benign when it offers up a care and compassion to the citizenry which is in point of fact a mask for command and control.

3.) All of this in turn creates un-masculine men (effeminate/soft men) who have embraced femininity in order to mate with women whose femininity has been bastardized from what God created it to be. The result of this is women who have embraced a bitchy feminine posture and men who likewise emasculate themselves to be male versions of bitchy women.

4.) This is turn leads to the break down of the family as women finally recoil at the idea of being married to a weak effeminate man. Women flee the marriage and find a State that is cast in their image willing to support their decision to commit hari kari on their family.

5.) The ironic thing here is that though the man is now dealing w/ a broken family, the State comes along side and forces the effeminate ex-husband to provide for the bitchy ex-wife in the creation of a second household. And all of this in the name of a care and compassion that young women, and young men in pursuit of young women, keep voting for.

6.) Rinse and repeat enough times and you get young men who resolve never to marry and so become incels and you get young women who resolve never to marry and you get middle age cat women who, because they have no children to nurture, take up lunatic left social causes to be replacement children upon which they can pour out their nurturing side. This, in part, explains rows upon rows of women in 2016 going to DC to protest Trump’s first inauguration while wearing pink “pussy hats.” Another example is the way single women can infantilize illegal immigrants and minorities, taking them as her proxy children she never had and pouring out on them all her care and compassion that the cat lady might have once poured out on her own.

7.) Incel men then, having never married and never had children, to provide and protect for, tend to become middle aged adolescents who never grow up. The responsibility of raising a family matures a man and without that properly maturing pressure young men are increasingly forever teenagers. They also tend to hate women and so objectify them for sexual pleasure alone or become sodomites or massive porn consumers.

8.) As an aside this may explain why sane women are often attracted to “bad boys.” Some women want men who break societal expectations and who are independent in a very raw way. These relationships can work out depending upon how the “bad boy” can harness his “badness,” to productive ends. However, “bad boys” have a hard time making it through the cultural institutional gauntlet since the cultural institutional gauntlet exists to reinforce the propaganda that care and compassion are synonymous with conformity and control.

McAtee Defends Kirk Against An Angry Female Family Member

Like many Americans I have found myself shocked this past week by the murder of Iranyi Zarutska and the assassination of the Christian Charlie Kirk. The violence has been heart rending. Perhaps, however, what has been just as shocking to me is the glee that has been communicated by many unhinged Americans over the assassination of Charlie Kirk. I mean, I knew that these people hated Biblical Christians but I could not have guessed that the hatred was so wide and deep. It has been heart rending to read people exulting in Mr. Kirk’s death.

Even more heart rending was to read a closely related extended family member join in this ghoulish celebration.

Below, find interaction with this family member who thinks she is wise but really is wicked. She has me blocked on social media but another family member actually took the time to send it to me. I take the time to do this because I am concerned that I have other family members I love who are going to be dragged into the wickedness orbit we see this family member spouting.

MN writes,

I do think it is dangerous to rejoice in violence. I also think the argument of feeling sad for this because he had a wife and children isn’t good enough. Most evil men have. I have more grief for what this says about our society. About the distractions and divides people in power have put up that have gotten us to this place. People like Charlie Kirk.

So while I am pondering about what to think and how to feel about this. These are some quotes I will ponder:

Bret responds,

First you say that it is dangerous to rejoice in violence and then you turn around and try to justify the rejoicing in violence that is ubiquitous. You write that “feeling sad because he had a wife and children isn’t good enough.” In other words, one has to have more reasons than a widowed wife and orphaned children in order to be justified in being saddened concerning someone’s death.

Second, you make it clear that your sadness is not about Kirk’s death but rather your sadness is the fact that an evil man like Kirk, per your subjective standards, has placed distractions and divides in American society. So, if we are to take your words seriously what you have told us is that it is not the death of Kirk that makes you sad, but rather it was the life of Kirk that made you sad, because, in your subjective opinion, Kirk placed distractions and divides in American society.

Next, we have to ask, what evidence do you have that Kirk was a “evil man?” By what standard are you adjudicating in order to lower your gavel and say “Charlie Kirk was evil?” It certainly isn’t Scripture that is your standard because Kirk was careful to anchor all of his positions in Scripture. So, by your own subjective say so you’re trying to sell Kirk was an evil man? Who really is the evil person here?

MN writes,

Now you turn to quoting Kirk, thinking by doing so you are proving how evil he was. So… let us consider your quotes and your implicit reasoning behind the quotes that you provide proving he was a wicked man;

“It’s worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year so that we can have the 2nd amendment”

~Charlie Kirk

Bret responds,

So, let us join you in pondering this, understanding that you think this quote proves the Kirk is a wicked man;

1.) If you could bring Kirk back to life he would say this again. The man knew the evidence that existed that proclaimed that gun prohibition laws end up serving the purposes of the criminal class. Prohibiting gun only makes it so the law abiding class can’t get weapons. Criminals don’t care if they break the law in order to have weapons. Tell me that you don’t really think that the chap that shot Kirk would not have been able to shoot Kirk if only your precious dumbass anti-gun laws were passed?

Evidence 1 that this family member is just another non-thinking lib-tard.

2.) If we did not have the 2nd amendment no one would be able to possibly fire back when some idiot criminal on a roof is firing at them.

3.) This lib-tard family member HATES the current Trump government but if she can’t get access to weapons how is the left ever going to fight against Trump? Darling, if we take your access to weapons away your ability to defy Trump goes out the window.

MN disapprovingly quotes Kirk,

“I think empathy is a made up new age term that does a lot of damage” 

 Charlie Kirk

Bret responds,

1.) Fortunately for you, you will never have to deal with he burden of having empathy or even sympathy. You’ve made that clear with your hardness of heart against Kirk’s widow and orphans.

2.) Still, I agree with Kirk that empathy does do a lot of damage. What good does it do for someone to sit down and cry with someone crying? Does it fix their problem? Does it reverse their victim status, even if that is legitimate? Or instead does it empower people who only think they are victims to continue to be victims? Does it not only end up reinforcing bad and narcissistic behavior causing the one being empathized with to say … “yeah, I was right all along. People should feel pity for me.”

MN disapprovingly quotes Kirk

“The biggest thing is this: more younger women need to get married at a younger age and start having kids. The single woman issue is one of the biggest issues facing a civilization.”

Charlie Kirk

Bret responds,

Just because you’re single, angry, tatted up like a 18th century sailor on the Pequod, while being 25 going on 50 doesn’t mean Kirk is wrong here.

Keep in mind here that Kirk is addressing the issue of civilization. Western Civilization cannot continue unless our birth rate matches or exceeds our death rate. Currently in the West, our birth rate at 1.55 is way below the needed replacement rate of 2.1. In light of this Kirk is absolutely on point.

MN disapprovingly quotes Kirk

“Marital subversion” and “undermine their husbands”

Charlie Kirk on women voting differently than their husbands

Bret responds,

Again … how can this be denied? Women voting in contradiction to their husband is marital rebellion and should be treated as rebellion. Of course you find this hateful given your feminism. However, the Scripture is against you as it teaches repeatedly that wives must submit to their husbands.

MN disapprovingly quotes Kirk,

“When a man and woman are hooking up and the woman removes consent.
Yeah that’s a murky middle grey area”

Charlie Kirk on rape

Bret responds,

It is murky. A woman teases a man by her consent to foreplay giving all the signals that it is a go and then suddenly says… “I have a headache?” Yeah …. that’s murky.

MN disapprovingly quotes Kirk

“Women should try to find their husband before they’re 25”

Charlie Kirk

Bret responds,

Again … this is just common sense. The younger couples get married the more likely they will meld together quicker. The younger women get married the more time they have to have babies. The Christian faith teaches that the main purpose of marriage after bringing to glory to God is to have children. Marrying before 25, is pursuant to that end.

MN disapprovingly quotes Kirk

“You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white persons slot to be taken somewhat seriously”

~Charlie Kirk on black women in political roles

Bret responds,

Again … common sense. For example, the only reason Ketanji Brown Jackson was appointed to a Supreme court seat is because she was a black female (who during her testimony before the Senate could not even define herself as a female). Black people, exceptions notwithstanding, are merely affirmative action hires – hired in order to allow the company who hired them not to be hassled by the FEDS.

The only sin Kirk commits here is the sin of noticing.

MN disapprovingly quotes Kirk

“I’m sorry, but if I see a black pilot, I’m going to think; oh I hope he’s qualified”

~Charlie Kirk

Bret responds,

Pray you never find yourself crisscrossing the country on jets as flown by minority affirmative action hires. Pretty soon the odds are going to catch up with you.

MN disapprovingly quotes Kirk

“It creates very angry young ladies and bitter young women that then manifests those women into a political party”

~Charlie Kirk on birth control

Psst … get a mirror and look long and hard at it. You are the angry bitter young woman Kirk talked about.

“St. Patrick’s Day Family History”

My wife (Jane) is second generation Italian. Her Father came when he was an infant with his family to America in 1929. Recently, my wife’s Aunt (her Father’s Sister) sent a letter explaining the meaning of St. Patrick’s Day to the Lombardi family. I do not record this letter for solely sentimental reasons but also in order to make a point about what happens when centralized government controls a society and culture.

Beginning quoting letter from my wife’s Aunt Josephine (Jo),

“My father, your grandfather, Jane, never let us forget the meaning of St. Patrick’s Day for the Lombardi family. For Grandpa Lombardi St. Patrick’s Day was not a day to honor a saint, but rather it was a day to be remembered because March 17, 1929 was the day we arrived, as your Grandfather would tell his children, “to beautiful America.” Your Dad, Jane, was 10 months old, Aunt Jennie was 3.5, Aunt Anna was 2.5 and I was 6 years old. Aunt Lina was born the following September.

If my parents hadn’t decided to leave Italy because of the Fascist dictator, Mussolini, your Mom wouldn’t have met and married your father, and you wouldn’t be here. Think about it, the decision of my Father to come to America affected all his childrens’ lives.

Mussolini had imposed such a high tax on sugar that it was prohibitive and my father needed sugar to run his cafe. His cafe was sort of candy store where he served coffee. It was a social gathering place for the men of the town to sit and socialize with their friends that as they drank coffee.

Because Papa couldn’t buy sugar my father would travel to Naples where he could purchase saccharin on the black market. Saccharin was against the law because Mussolini wanted to collect taxes on the sugar. I know there’s no excuse for breaking the law, but my father’s livelihood depended on the business generated from the townsmen coming to drink coffee. Well, his brother-in-law also had a cafe on the same street, about two blocks away; and my father’s brother-in-law was practically going out of business for lack of sugar and customers.

My father confided in his mother when she questioned him. Grandma was sworn to secrecy about my father’s source of saccharin. Grandma’s oldest daughter was married to the cafe owner who was jealous of my father’s business. Grandmother told, my Aunt Elvira. I’m sure that Grandma meant it for good. Grandma wanted her son-in-law to go to Naples for saccharin with her son. Instead of going to Naples though, my father’s brother-in-law turned Papa in to the police. That was the deciding factor that forced my parents to leave Italy and come to America.

I can still picture the morning the the Police came to our home with their rifles drawn to arrest my father for having possession of illegal saccharin. However, Papa wasn’t there. My Father had been warned that his brother-in-law had turned him in to the police. My father went into hiding. I don’t know where he went to escape, but I do know as young as I was, I remember telling the police to get out of my house. I knew they didn’t belong there with their rifles drawn, looking inside closets and underneath beds, pushing doors open to other rooms and looking behind doors. Eventually they left. I also remember running from my home that was a short distance from my father’s store, crying until I reached the cafe and my mother grabbed me to quiet and comfort me.

I don’t know how many days after that we left in the middle of the night for Naples to board the ship, “The President Wilson,” to sail for America. My mother told me when I’d question her that they always kept their passports up to date. That’s why they were able to leave as fast as they did.

My father, (your grandfather) every year after would tell us this story and say to us in half broken English,

“I no want you to forget the day you arrived in beautiful America on San Patreeka’s Day, 1929.”

1.) Once upon a time people came here to escape tyranny and now we are turning this country into the kind of country that my wife’s Italian family sought to escape.

2.) Oppressive taxation always creates a black market.

3.) Immoral and Illegal laws have the the effect of making the citizenry involve themselves in moral illegalities.

4.) Heavy taxation destroys entrepreneurial activity.

5.) A Collectivist society will always turn into a society where all spy upon all.

6.) The sugar tax that would have destroyed the business communicates that collectivist societies are more concerned about the state’s livelihood vs. the businessman’s livelihood.

Teasing Out Some Implications Of The Fifth Commandment

“Honor thy Father and Mother”  Exodus 20:12

It should be observed first that these few words destroy the idea of a egalitarian social order where all are functionally and economically equal. These words spell out hierarchy in social order relations. This is especially drawn out by the Westminster Larger Catechism where the meaning of the commandment is explained;

Q. 124. Who are meant by father and mother in the fifth commandment?

A. By father and mother, in the fifth commandment, are meant, not only natural parents,649 but all superiors in age650 and gifts;651 and especially such as, by God’s ordinance, are over us in place of authority, whether in family,652 church,653 or commonwealth.654

If ever there was a portion of Scripture that destroys egalitarianism it is the 5th Word of the decalogue.

Secondly, it does not stop with the support of hierarchy but in citing the core principle as starting with Father and Mother this commandment is a clear articulation of Kinism. True, the commandment ripples outward to proper respect for all superiors and inferiors but the center core is love for one’s own kith and kin. Indeed, egalitarianism with its elimination of proper social hierarchy is the inevitable consequence of a steady and resolved disobedience of the fifth commandment. Where there is no honoring of one’s parents there will be no proper honoring of even recognizing of people placed by God in the position of “superior.”

On this score, third, we would observe that it is not possible to honor one’s own immediate parents without honoring the parents that belong to the parents we are to honor. Of course this then is a reflexive glance to not only grandparents but also to all the Fathers and Mothers that belong to all our generations. This commandment thus attaches us generationally to all our parents that have gone before us and does so by requiring us to honor them all. This requirement to honor our Kin serves as adhesive binding all the succeeding generations to all the previous familial generations. Where the fifth commandment is esteemed there we find a Kinist social order.

Of course the great presupposition behind this commandment is that all of our Fathers were honoring the God of the Bible — hence the first commandment. Where our Fathers were a God honoring people, they honored their parents. As such, when we honor our Christian Fathers and Mothers we are at that point then honoring their and our God. The corollary of this is when our parents do not honor God then we are released from obligation to honor our parents where their dishonoring of God serves as a barrier to our honoring God. As converts then, we are to then take up honoring God first and foremost so that our children may rightfully honor God and us.

This brings us to a point that will be disputed given our alienist zeitgeist.
It is hard to imagine how we honor our Christian Fathers and Mothers by marrying into peoples that were aliens and strangers to our Fathers and Mothers. If our Fathers and Mothers saw fit to pass down to us not only a godly legacy but also the particular genetic inheritance of generations of a particular people it is difficult to see how it is the honoring of those generations to cast aside the genetic inheritance built up over generations and generations in order to do something (marry interracially) that in all times and places was considered verboten until about 1960 or so when the sexual revolution / civil rights revolution began to reinterpret Christianity through the lens of Cultural Marxism. Of course this principle is true for Christian peoples of all races. Interracial marriage, especially among Christians, is a dishonoring of generations and generations of one’s Christian people and past.

On this score alone we might wonder if the fact that the WASPs who once owned this country are no longer finding it to be the case that we are safe in the land that our Fathers and Mothers built? Is it not the case that because we no longer honor our Father and Mother as seen in the way that we have become comfortable with interracial marriage we no longer see the latter half of the verse being the case;

“that thy days may be long upon the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.”

That our days are no longer “long upon the land” is known to us as “replacement theory.” This theory holds that the white anglo saxon Protestant is being replaced by the stranger and the alien. All I am asking is, “is the reason that we are being replaced due to the fact that we have been, for generations, no longer honoring our Fathers and Mothers as seen especially in our marriage habits as a people.”

It is worthy at least to be considered.

Barbara Ann Moree, Ella Steinhauser & The Goodness of God

My mind keeps drawing me back to remember Barbara Ann Moree.

Barbara was a little girl who was on our prayer list weekly when I pastored the small country Church in Longtown, South Carolina. Barbara had been born with a severe disability (something like Cerebral Palsy) and had been institutionalized since she had been born. Over the years in Longtown I visited Barbara several times and prayed for her weekly in the long pastoral prayer during the Sunday Service.

As near as I could tell the only family that cared and looked after Barbara was her Grandmother Margaret who was a faithful member of the small flock I served in Longtown. Margaret was a gentle lady who cared deeply for this child and it was through Margaret that I came to know Barbara Ann.

I would go with Margaret occasionally to visit the child who would have been between 8 and 10 years old when I first met her as a newly minted minister. Barbara Ann couldn’t speak or walk and showed no outward signs of recognizing people being in her presence. She was thoroughly confined to a hospital bed.

Margaret had told me Barbara Ann’s story and it was a sad one. Despite that I rejoiced that Barbara Ann had her grandmother as an advocate and so was not totally bereft of family love.

Eventually, Margaret asked me if I would baptize Barbara Ann and remembering Jesus’ words to “forbid not the children to come unto me for such is the Kingdom of Heaven,” I did indeed Baptize Barbara Ann in that lonely and sterile hospital room with just Margaret in attendance. Margaret was so grateful that day that her little broken granddaughter had been given the sacrament of Baptism.

My mind keeps being drawn back to Barbara Ann because I now have a grand-daughter that is broken much the same as Barbara Ann was. And I am learning through my grand-daughter that it is possible that Barbara Ann may have understood much more of the world than I would have thought possible in 1995 when I knew Barbara Ann. Given Barbara Ann’s condition I assumed that there was nobody home. Now I realize that it is possible that Barbara Ann was very much present in a body that was completely broken.

My Grand-daughter is likewise, to all immediate appearances, a child who one could easily conclude is completely mentally inert. Like Barbara Ann, Ella cannot walk or speak. However, as of late, because of the advent of technology and the determination of Ella to let people know that she is present, Ella has, despite her broken body, begun to blossom. She is communicating now about any number of subjects — subjects that most 12 year old little girls wouldn’t ever think to take time to comment. Yesterday, for example, Ella listened to a sermon on the sin of Grumbling and the necessity to be thankful and she responded via her technology that “I would rather know Jesus than be able to walk.”

My emotions when this is reported are mixed. I rejoice that Ella is able to communicate, however at the same time I remain deeply saddened concerning her brokenness. However, I likewise am drawn back to Barbara Ann Moree with regret and shame that I just assumed that she was completely absent and inert. Maybe Barbara Ann wasn’t home … but Ella has taught me that maybe she was.  I also then find immediate gratitude and deeper appreciation for Barbara’s Grandmother Margaret who was so faithful in caring for that child.

I am also thankful again for God’s grace to Barbara Ann in the gift of Baptism. Even if I failed Barbara Ann in not being more solicitous I can thank God for His marking out this child as a member of the covenant. The one person who was more faithful to Barbara Ann than her grandmother was our and her loving heavenly father.

I don’t know why God decided to touch both Barbara Ann and Ella and countless others. These kind of disabilities can only be dealt with by trusting that God will have a final eschatological word to say about the problem of evil in general and the problem of evil as touching particular people. The revelation of the particulars of God’s goodness in these cases will only be known on the final day. Until then, we trust the testimony of Scripture that God is good to His people without fail — and we hold tenaciously to God’s goodness even though the world might scream at us the way Job’s wife did; “Curse God and die.”

I imagine 30 years later that Barbara Ann may likely have passed away given the severity of her condition. However, I look forward to meeting her again in the new heavens and the new earth.

In all this I am reminded again how important it is to be gentle with those who are physically and mentally broken. I am also reminded to thank God for those things that come into our lives that we don’t understand and am reminded to continue to trust Him despite the fact that our senses shout at us to not trust God.

Further, I thank the benevolent God for my grand-daughter Ella. She is only 12 but I already long for the ability to trust God the way she clearly does. I thank God that He has determined that Ella would be able to thank her parents for their care and I thank God that He has given her the ability, seemingly against all odds, to be able to draw and paint. If you ever met Ella you would never be able to guess that her drawings and paintings could come from her broken and crippled hand.

Finally there is a word here about the necessity to continue to be pro-life as Christians. It would be easy to conclude that lives such as Barbara Ann and Ella are not lives worth living. Yet, God is the creator of all life and who is man that he should arise to the place of Creator and sovereign to determine who should and should not be given life? For Christians especially we should be reminded of the need to esteem and minister “to the least of these.” In light of that I thank God for Margaret and for Ella’s parents and siblings (Edward, Gwen, Winry and Alphonse). It is hard work caring for a broken and disabled child and such families do not receive the recognition that they should receive for so faithfully fulfilling their calling, as assigned by God, to the least of these. So, for whatever it is worth I salute my son-in-law and daughter and their children. I salute the Aaron Belk family who I know only a wee little bit who likewise minister to a child touched by God in this way.

And I pray for a faith that can trust God in all the hardships in life that mystify us now and will continue to mystify us until all is made clear on that final day.
