Summary
In this episode, Douglas Wilson talks about what he calls “the Great Op,” arguing that recent dissension on the right, Candace Owens, and the SPLC indictment point to a larger pattern of manufactured extremism and fundraising incentives. He then continues his study of hamartiology with a discussion of adultery in Matthew and Mark, before reviewing his father Jim Wilson’s Principles of War and its application of military principles to strategic evangelism.

| 0:00.0 | So welcome to the podcast. My name is Douglas Wilson. This is episode 423. Can you believe it? 423. |
| 0:25.5 | So as we begin our session together today, I want to talk about what I'm starting to think of as the great op. |
| 0:34.1 | All right. The great op. It turns out, it seems to me, that in the aftermath of the assassination of Charlie Kirk, |
| 0:46.5 | and there were aspects of this prior to that, but it really came into focus after Charlie |
| 0:53.6 | Kirk, there was a great explosion of dissatisfaction. But it really came into focus after Charlie Kirk. |
| 1:00.0 | There was a great explosion of dissension on the right. |
| 1:07.3 | You would think that that would have been a huge unifying factor on the right. |
| 1:09.8 | Sort of like the Japanese attacking Pearl Harbor. And then all of a sudden, |
| 1:11.4 | all the differences between different Americans evaporated in the aftermath of the attack on Pearl Harbor. |
| 1:20.9 | You would think that the assassination Charlie Kirk would have that effect. And it did initially |

| 2:03.8 | money raising machine. But what, uh, this indictment alleges is that they were fomenting, |
| 2:14.2 | subsidizing, paying for the hatred that their organization existed to combat. And it's like there's |
| 2:21.7 | an old story, I forget, some Third World country where they had a real problem with rats. And so |
| 2:27.7 | the government put a bounty on rats and, you know, they'll, they'd pay people so much for bringing in a rat tail. So if you |
| 2:37.9 | bring in a rat tail, you get paid so much. Well, you have to be careful, careful about what you |
| 2:43.7 | incentivize, right? Because sure enough, people took up rat farming. If they're going to pay me for rat tails, |
