There is a truth so obvious I won’t spend but a single sentence on it- to love one group of people does not necessitate hating another. There was a time when this was obvious, but I fear common sense is no longer common; or rather never has been. It is not only ok, but actually virtuous to love your own people. What do I mean by “your people”? It means many things, and all of them can be good groups- your church body, your friends, your physical neighbors. In this instance though I am referring to the sense of the term that seems to scare many modern individuals: your ethnic heritage. These people are not random strangers, they are specific strangers- your extended family, as it were. Apostle Paul makes it abundantly clear that we are to put special privilege and consideration towards our own families in 1 Timothy 5:8,
“If anyone does not provide for his own, and especially his own household, he has denied the faith, and is worse than an unbeliever.”
Hierarchies are frequently used in the bible and if we apply the same principle to family we see that we should consider our obligation in terms of concentric circles starting from the center- your immediate family- following outward towards extended family, kinship, ethnicity, and eventually leading back to everyone (For we are all sons of Adam, or more recently, Noah).
This is not usually considered controversial until one particular people group do it... Why is it that those who descend from Europe are not allowed to show a particular affection for their own people? Is there an underlying assumption there that as soon as we realize our bonds of brotherhood that we must start to become evil villains and terrorize everyone else? (This has been explicitly stated by many marxist authors, interestingly enough.) There is a strong bigotry at work here, an extreme injustice, and an unprecedented prejudice, and it is not on the side of Europeans who wish their own people well.
Rather, marxist thought has seeped deep into our culture, and distorted our view of nature, and of what is right and normal and virtuous behavior. It pains me to see this, because I grew up loving my country, and seeing what it has become has all but extinguished those positive feelings. Still, I cannot but love my countrymen... As much issue as I take with the way things are in America, it will forever be the land where I was born, the land built by my ancestors, the land of my people, who helped make me who I am. This is the country of Jonathan Edwards, Dwight L. Moody, and R.C. Sproul.
I digress, my point got away from me. I am writing right after Memorial Day, so I will pivot towards our military. It is tragic that the United States has not been involved in a just war since well before the civil war; every single war in the 20th and 21st centuries have been unjustifiable wastes of life. Yet, I hold a high esteem and respect for our veterans, because the vast majority of them are intending to serve to protect those good things we love about America: the good history, the natural rights, and the hope for our future. So let not those sacrifices be in vain. We must reject these woke sentiments that prey on our country like a cancer, and embrace tradition and try to restore what our grandfathers fought to preserve. These things were lost because of corruption and deception from their political leaders, but America was never meant to be a top-down country. It was built from the bottom-up, and the will of the people shall prevail.
The conclusion is simply this- Revolt against the modern world. Embrace tradition, embrace godliness, embrace loving your kin; remember compassion for strangers, but never at the expense of the innocent.
"Naturally we believe in our own race. Any man or woman worth anything believes in his own race as he believes in his own family. But because you believe in your own race or in your own family doesn't mean you want to injure other races or other families.
How often have I said, a father of a family should know that it's his first duty in nature, to look after his own children? But that doesn't mean that he wants to hurt or to injure other children. On the contrary, you would do them any good term that you can.
Take humanity, put it in a bag, shake it together, and heaven knows what would come out. They wanted to get rid of what existed. All the little grey people of the world, who hate the beautiful diversity of human development: They always want to get rid of the natural, the noble, and the beautiful. They wanted to get rid of it; they wanted to make all nature as grey as themselves, it was their deep instinct. We were always opposed to that. We said "no it won't work," and it's undesirable that it should work.
We can live in peace and friendship, side by side, in separate nations and separate developments. But we cannot have the mix up of peoples and races, who are widely different and divergent: it will lead to nothing but trouble."
Oswald Mosley
Author's Note: I take minor exception with this quote: where it is possible that two individuals may marry from separate races and cultures and it goes well with them, but that is an exceptional thing. On the scale of society as a whole, the validity of this quote is seen as self-evident as a standard norm.
