This is the third part of my critique of the Churchian response to the 16 Points
of the Alt-Right. The first part, covering Points 1-4, is here. The second part covering Points 4-8 is here.
9. I disagree completely. Politics supersedes culture and identity. Right
is right no matter when, where, or who is present. A conservative seeks to do
what is correct based upon the principles I laid out above. Those principles
are the same without regard to my identity or location in space and time.
Elective abortion is always murder. Slavery always denies human worth. We do
not conform ourselves to our identity (whether social, ethnic, racial,
familial, or economic) or our culture; we are to conform ourselves to Jesus
Christ. All action, even apolitical action, is political because, as John Donne
said, “no man is an island entire of itself.” In following Christ, we
necessarily take up certain political ideas. Those ideas are always at odds with
the tyranny and oppression, which is why so many nations have tried so hard to
eliminate Christianity. Rome cannot fathom the abolition of infanticide and
crucifixion or religious liberty. Nazi Germany has no place for such brotherly
love and compassion for human life. Communism cannot tolerate any other god
than the state. The American South could not allow the doctrine of the image of
God because that sets all human beings as equals. No. The Alt Right is quite
incorrect. Our identity only matters in how each of us relate to God
individually; after that we are duty bound to conform ourselves to him and
attempt to conform our world to his word by making disciples. “But seek first
the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to
you.” (Matthew 6:33)
Politics do not supersede culture or identity. This is not only backwards,
but utterly absurd and flies in the face of all political history as well as
the politics of every political entity on the planet. The churchian also
contradicts himself when he asserts that Christians - a religious identity -
necessarily take up certain political ideas. That is simply another case of
identity dictating politics.
As the extraordinarily successful politician Lee Kuan Yew wisely noted, "In multiracial societies, you don't vote in accordance with your economic interests, you vote in accordance with race and religion."

10. Well, once again we have some absolute self-refuting nonsense.
According to the Alt Right, the only people who belong here are the North
American Indians. Ironically, the Latin Americans the Alt Right seems so
desperate to keep out of this country would be amongst the only people left
here. So, to where, would you like your plane-ticket? Let me help eliminate
some places you might think you can go. You probably cannot go to the British
Isles; after the Roman, Saxon, Angle, Jutes, Norman, and Viking invasions as
well as the immigration of Indians, Arabs, and various Allied peoples, the
druidic people who first lived there have not sufficiently passed on their
bloodlines. No one is truly properly British is he or she cannot trace the
ancestry back to the time of Boudicca. Let me also rule out anywhere in central
Europe; the Germanic tribes invaded Europe in wave after wave before the Huns
and Mongols swept across the land, and it get real dicey after the Jewish
Diaspora, the collapse of Rome, the Moorish invasions, the Crusades, and a
couple of World Wars. I’m not ‘purely’ white. I have evidence that one of my
great grandmother’s was a slave and the Landress family was originally Jewish
before coming to America. Since Europe is too difficult to determine where I
should go, I’ll claim that very minute portion of Jewish ancestry. If you’re
‘Jewish’, like me, you might enjoy the ancient city of Ur of the Chaldeans,
after all, Israel was the land God promised Abraham, not the land of his birth.
That’ll be nice; I’ve always wanted to live in southern Iraq. We’ll send
everybody back where his or her families originated. I hope don’t get too carried
away with such a ridiculous idea; it’s going to be awkward with all seven
billion of us trying to share North Western Africa.
This concept is racist. It’s not racist in the idea that one race is superior to another; though it does indicate the Alt Right secretly believes that. Instead it is racist in the same way segregation is racist and about it I same the same thing as Chief Justice Earl Warren, “in the field of public education, the doctrine of ‘separate but equal’ has no place. Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal.” As it is true in education, so it is true in life. I reject the Alt Right’s belief in blood and soil.

Why does he hate the Jews? This is a truly reprehensible, anti-semitic
position. Since he rejects the belief in blood and soil, he clearly doesn't
believe that the Jewish people have any right to the land of Israel. Alert the
SPLC! All churchians are clearly Nazis at heart and there is no place for them
in any civilized society.
It's fascinating to see that he rejects our opposition to "the rule or domination of any native ethnic group by another in the sovereign homelands of the dominated peoples." One wonders which group he believes should rule over the native populations in the United States, in China, and in India.

11. This is utter nonsense. To which war do they refer? There are several
where racial diversity was an issue. In every one of them, the aggressors were
racists. Their only defense for holding such a belief is they will champion one
of the most despicable forms of bigotry and hatred humans have ever
demonstrated. America exists on the idea that diversity is your right. No one
has the authority by right of conformity to tell another person he or she is
wrong for being different. If we follow the Alt Right to its logical
conclusion, the Jews were wrong for being in Germany. That is utterly
detestable. I reject in the strongest terms possible the Alt Right belief that
diversity and proximity causes war.
Between whom does this moron believe wars are fought? Why does he imagine
they take place? And if it is right for the Jews to be in Israel, then clearly
it was wrong for them to be in Germany. Israel cannot belong to the Jews if
Germany does not belong to the Germans. Again, we see that he is denying the
Jewish claim to the land of Israel. What a horrible anti-semite! Why, his
attack on the Alt-Right is, ironically, another Holocaust. Which, of course,
makes him Hitler.
Also, America does not exist "on the idea that diversity is your right". One will search the Federalist Papers in vain for anything that even reasonably approximates this idea. It's also a bit ironic that he asserts no one has the authority to tell another person he is wrong for being different, considering that his whole rabid screed is nothing more than telling many, many people that they are wrong for holding their different beliefs in nations, borders, races, and the right of the Jewish nation to the land of Israel.

12. This is an absolute lie. No one spends more time trying to convince
others what to think about themselves than do the Alt Right. If they did not
care, they would not make their presence known. I reject their lie.
Oh, we genuinely don't care what people
think about the Alt-Right, because the Alt-Right is inevitable. We don't care
what you think about gravity or oxygen either. Reality is going to win out over
time. However, that doesn't mean that we aren't going to set the record
straight when very stupid, very ignorant people tell blatant lies about us and
misrepresent our beliefs.
