Summary

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Episode 126 Can’t anything just be normal and organic? It doesn’t appear so. Unfortunately, in addition to having to deal with a Communist Cultural Revolution in America, we also have to deal with the rising reaction it deliberately provokes. That forces us to have to fight a two-front war if our desire is to preserve liberty and defend and maintain the United States of America. Not everyone, even on the “conservative” side of things, wants to do that, though, and this brings us back to the growing movement branding itself “Christian Nationalism.” What is it? Well, that’s a question with some legs, apparently. To see why, enter eccentric shampoo magnate Charles Haywood, who offers us “the politics of future past,” and who calls himself “Maximum Leader” of something called The Worthy House, as discussed with Tucker Carlson, and who is the originator of the secret society called The Society for American Civic Renewal (don’t miss “The Mark“). In this unhappy episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay reads Haywood’s “Foundationalist” manifesto and starts asking some uncomfortable questions about what’s really going on behind the “Christian Nationalism” movement and its apparent considerable reservoir of financing. Join him to wonder WTF alongside him.

0:00.0	Hello everybody, it's James Lindsay, you're listening to The New Discourse's podcast.
0:24.5	Now here on the podcast, usually I have some enthusiasm to communicate to you what I'm
0:29.5	going to communicate to you but that's not always a case and today is one of those times. I am coming
0:35.2	to you lamenting that I have to do this podcast. There are some of these episodes that I truly lament
0:44.0	not just the doing but having to do them and this is one I truly lament having to talk about this
0:52.7	at all as often seems to be the case. So you will recall two podcasts I want to bring to your
1:00.8	recollection in the New Discourse's podcast library. It is not necessary that you listen to these
1:08.8	to follow this one. It is advisable that you perhaps dip into one of the two so you understand
1:16.2	the context a little better and the other you don't really need. At least you don't need to listen
1:23.2	to it to get what you're going to get out of this because I'm going to riff. So the one that you
1:27.1	don't need to go listen to though I encourage you for other reasons is podcast I did a while back
1:32.6	titled WTF is SEL which is short for what the F is social emotional learning and I went into the
1:43.0	occult routes of social emotional learning but what the title reflected was the idea that
1:51.1	there's this darker underbelly that just makes a normal person look at and say WTF is this what
1:58.8	the is this and so unfortunately I'm going to have to do another WTF episode today. The other is
2:09.6	two wolves of Christian nationalism the two wolves of Christian nationalism in which I talked
2:15.9	about two characters William Wolf and Stephen Wolf who are of no relation who are both promoting
2:23.1	different conceptions of a reactionary Christian largely Protestant but not wholly Protestant
2:29.6	movement called Christian nationalism which I have characterized as at best a trap
2:37.9	though I tried to deal with it somewhat on its own terms I didn't give it probably the detail
2:42.8	it deserves you may want to listen to that one for context as to what this Christian nationalist
2:47.5	thing is because I'm not really going to get into that really deeply even though the title of this
