This Veterans Day, the Centennial of the Unknown Soldier, Skip the Platitudes and Talk to a Veteran

By Sara Jaye Hart

…t commemorates the cessation of hostilities, the moment when the armistice between Germany and the Allied Forces officially ended World War I. The war to end all wars was over, and peace, it was hoped, might prevail. And none too soon. The armistice itself went into effect on the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. The symbolism was lost on no one. By that point, more than 20 million people had died in a war whose most coherent and compel…

What We Need to Understand is that Fascism is Intersectional and Erotic—’Thy Rod is Thy Gun,’ With a Hip-Thrust

By Annika Brockschmidt

…ex, and for those who aren’t familiar with the culture, it’s surprisingly explicitly sexual. But then—is it really surprising? Isn’t sex inherently part of the human experience? Why should that be any different for evangelicals, why should that be any different for the fascists you met on your travels? I think this is the failure when we consider these fascists the other. As a writer, I always start with the body. Remember the body. I also always…

‘Russkii Mir,’ the Russian Equivalent of ‘Blood & Soil’ Ideology at the Heart of Putin’s War, Explained and Rejected by Theologians in New Statement

By Daniel Schultz

…s capitulated to “liberalism”, “globalization”, “Christianophobia”, “homosexual rights” promoted in gay parades, and “militant secularism”. Undergirding Russkii Mir, according to the statement’s authors, is the heresy of “ethno-phyletism,” or building the church around a particular “race or tribe.” Before you run to the dictionary—or, let’s face it, a search engine—it helps to understand the background of this charge. In theory, the Orthodox world…

Why Did an Antisemitic Christian Zionist Have the Chutzpah to Declare That He’d Be Leading a Holocaust March?

By Ben Lorber and Aidan Orly

…of Zion Museum. Geared towards a Christian Zionist audience, the museum’s exhibits featured coded appeals to missionary activity and celebrations of “deathbed evangelism,” where missionaries target lonely, vulnerable and impoverished Holocaust survivors in order, as Nuszen put it, “to convert them to Christianity in their dying days or even last moments.” Christian Zionist antisemitism Evans’ brand of antisemitism, masked as philosemitism and enth…

Both the Joy and the Uproar Over the Pope’s Blessings for LGBTQ Catholics are Small Potatoes Compared to this Age-Old Church Problem

By Mary E. Hunt

…airports—can receive a blessing. But LGBTIQ+ people cannot because their sexual expression is considered “intrinsically disordered” (Persona Humana: Declaration on Certain Questions Concerning Sexual Ethics, Sec. 8, par. 4). So the new declaration on blessings is hardly a step forward in Catholicism where anti-LGBTQI+ animus is legend. Scholar Phyllis Zagano observed sagely that “the writer buried the lede,” since “only near its end does the docum…

White Nationalist Ideology Shines Through at Elite MAGA Conference: Inside NatCon Part II

By Ben Lorber

…ifferent regions of the US where they initially settled. “In America,” he explains in one example, “Swedish Americans tend to be more civic than French Americans, who are more civic than Italian Americans. If you go to Europe, you find the Swedes are more civic than the French, who are more civic than Italians. Again, hundreds of years [believed] to have gone away, but it still persists in America.” Thus, Richwine seems to conclude, a people’s cul…

A Tale of Two Fascisms: ‘Douchey’ JD Vance vs. ‘Creepy’ Blake Masters

By Annika Brockschmidt

…t via their own offspring?” Vance and Masters have both not been shy about promoting their openly anti-democratic aspirations. Both have ties to right-wing extremist blogger Curtis Yarvin, a raging monarchist. Vance supports the governing model of Caesarism, which has risen to prominence on the American Right in recent years, claiming: “We are in a late republican period. If we’re going to push back against it, we’re going to have to get pretty wi…

Coups of a Feather: The Striking Similarities Between Brazil’s Insurrection and Jan 6 May Be Due to ‘Authoritarian Learning’

By Annika Brockschmidt

…ade arrest in Brazil, while calls for Attorney General Merrick Garland to extradite him to Brazil have been getting louder from Democratic lawmakers and legal experts. Lula’s swift crackdown on the attackers stands in stark contrast to the U.S.’s hesitant, cautious response to the attack on its Capitol in 2020. Matthew Tyrmand, a right-wing activist who serves on the board of Project Veritas, had previously called for the military to forcefully pu…

Seeking Broad Appeal to US Christians, ‘God & Country: The Rise of Christian Nationalism’ Glosses Over Critical Context

By Chrissy Stroop

…lism for decades, and, as many have argued, there’s no sharp dividing line between complex social phenomena like religion, theology, culture, and politics. For example, when this distinction proliferated in the run up to the 2016 election, religion scholar Daniel Miller wrote here on RD, “Any analysis of the ‘Trump phenomenon’ in its relation to evangelicalism is off from the start if it begins with the assumption that evangelical support of Trump…

Trump’s Pathological Devotion to Border Walls Isn’t Political, It’s Theological

By Alana Massey

…ed duty. And I wish I was kidding when I suggest this, but seeing as the fixation is on land borders, it sort of explains why he couldn’t wrap his head around Obama’s birth in Hawaii as truly American, and why he still doesn’t really understand that 3,000 Americans died on his watch in Puerto Rico. Consider his visit to North Korea, a nation whose leader, a similarly pompous but far superior troll than Trump himself, whom he’d all-but-challenged-t…
