We examine their competing arguments concerning morality, human flourishing, family and social order, religious authority, and the role of Christianity and Islam in shaping society, while evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of each position. The discussion also provides a broader framework for understanding the differences between Christian and Islamic approaches to ethics and political life.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Topics</strong></p><ul><li><p style="text-align: justify;">Christianity vs. Islam &#8212; We examine the central arguments over which religion provides a better foundation for humanity, comparing their competing visions of morality, human nature, and the purpose of society.</p></li><li><p style="text-align: justify;">Morality &amp; Human Flourishing &#8212; We explore how Christianity and Islam understand right and wrong, human dignity, virtue, family, and the conditions necessary for a flourishing society.</p></li><li><p style="text-align: justify;">The Nature of God &#8212; We examine the fundamental theological differences between Christianity and Islam, including the Trinity, the Incarnation, and the Islamic rejection of Christian understandings of God.</p></li><li><p style="text-align: justify;">Jesus Christ &#8212; We compare the Christian and Islamic views of Jesus, including His identity, crucifixion, resurrection, and role in salvation.</p></li><li><p style="text-align: justify;">Scripture &amp; Revelation &#8212; We examine competing claims concerning the Bible and Qur&#8217;an, prophetic revelation, textual preservation, and religious authority.</p></li><li><p style="text-align: justify;">Christianity, Islam &amp; Society &#8212; We consider how the two religions approach law, government, family structure, religious minorities, and the relationship between religious and political authority.</p></li><li><p style="text-align: justify;">Which Is Better for Humanity? &#8212; We evaluate whether the historical and theological consequences of Christianity or Islam provide stronger grounds for human freedom, morality, social stability, and human flourishing.</p></li></ul><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Key Takeaway</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The debate raises a fundamental question: which religious tradition provides the stronger foundation for human flourishing&#8212;Christianity or Islam?

We then investigate the concept of &#8220;<em>Greater Israel</em>,&#8221; examining its historical origins, documented uses, and political significance while challenging the idea that discussion of the concept is inherently a conspiracy theory. Finally, we examine the postwar expulsion of ethnic Germans from Central and Eastern Europe, including the forced displacement, violence, and deaths that accompanied the removal of millions of German civilians after World War II.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Topics</strong></p><ul><li><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>Iran War Updates &#8212; We provide an update on the ongoing U.S.-Israel war with Iran, examining the latest developments on the battlefield, the struggle over the Strait of Hormuz, the stalled diplomatic efforts, and the potential economic and geopolitical consequences of a prolonged conflict.</span></p></li><li><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>Greater Israel &#8212; </span>We examine the concept of &#8220;<em>Greater Israel</em>,&#8221; tracing its biblical, religious, and modern political meanings and addressing claims that discussion of the concept is merely a conspiracy theory. We distinguish between the different meanings of <em>Greater Israel</em> and examine documented statements, maps, and political currents associated with territorial expansion. The term has historically had multiple meanings, and recent Israeli political rhetoric has brought the concept back into public debate.</p></li><li><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>The Expulsion of Germans After World War II &#8212; We examine the forced displacement of ethnic Germans from Poland, Czechoslovakia, and other parts of Central and Eastern Europe following World War II. We discuss the Potsdam agreement, the scale of the population transfers, the violence and deaths associated with the expulsions, and the broader question of ethnic cleansing in postwar Europe. Historians generally agree that millions of Germans were forcibly displaced, although estimates of deaths vary considerably.</span></p></li></ul><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Key Takeaway</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">This episode examines three often-contested subjects: the ongoing Iran war, the historical and political meaning of &#8220;<em>Greater Israel</em>,&#8221; and the postwar expulsion of millions of ethnic Germans, separating documented historical events from the competing narratives and claims surrounding them.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Sources &amp; Further Reading</strong></p><ul><li><p><em><strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Terrible-Revenge-Cleansing-European-Germans/dp/1403973083">A Terrible Revenge: The Ethnic Cleansing of the East European Germans, 1944&#8211;1950 </a></strong></em><strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Terrible-Revenge-Cleansing-European-Germans/dp/1403973083">by Alfred M. de Zayas</a></strong></p></li><li><p><em><strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Orderly-Humane-Expulsion-Germans-Second/dp/0300198205"><span>Orderly and Humane: The Expulsion of the Germans after the Second World War</span></a></strong></em><strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Orderly-Humane-Expulsion-Germans-Second/dp/0300198205"><span> by R.M.

We discuss my challenge to Muslims to debate the compatibility of Islamic theology and political principles with American values, including questions of religious liberty, law, citizenship, assimilation, and national identity.

href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026/aug/14/jason-arday-found-dead-after-resigning-from-cambridge-over-plagiarism-claims">The Guardian</a></strong> from his family:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>Jason was subjected to a campaign of sustained abuse for more than three years since he accepted the role of professor at Cambridge University by those who would leave no stone unturned in their quest to undermine him. The campaign of misinformation was too much for Jason, who was a gentle man and who always wanted to see the best in everyone. We are in shock to have lost this amazing father, partner, brother, uncle and son. We won&#8217;t comment further at this point beyond asking the press to leave us alone now, and to stop the campaign of harassment which has been waged against Jason and his family for too long</em>.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">Arday was found &#8220;<em>unresponsive</em>&#8221; at his south London home and later pronounced dead at the scene, according to the outlet.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">He resigned from his job on August 5th, as the school launched an investigation into accusations that he plagiarized parts of his PhD dissertation and lied about positions he held at other schools.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Arday had faced allegations that he lifted more than 100 passages in his dissertation from another academic and that he lied about job positions at passed schools.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

style="text-align: justify;">Originally, Liverpool John Moores University initially attributed the similarities to &#8220;<em>honest and reasonable error</em>.&#8221; However, new evidence prompted the University of Cambridge to launch a formal inquiry into his academic record and honorary appointments.

We discuss immigration policies employed in Orthodox nations by monarchical Saints, while separating the historical record from some of the myths that have developed around the subject.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Topics</strong></p><ul><li><p style="text-align: justify;">Thomas Massie &#8212; We examine the objections to Thomas Massie, why they persist within the modern conservative movement, and how his positions on immigration, foreign policy, and national sovereignty reveal the differences between the traditional America First approach and the broader MAGA movement.</p></li><li><p style="text-align: justify;">Israeli Influence &#8212; We examine debates surrounding Israeli influence on American foreign policy, including the role of pro-Israel organizations, political donors, lobbying, foreign aid, and the broader question of whether U.S. foreign policy consistently reflects American national interests.</p></li><li><p style="text-align: justify;">Mass Migration &#8212; We examine the arguments surrounding mass migration, including its effects on national identity, demographics, assimilation, and the relationship between immigration policy and the interests of the American people.</p></li><li><p>Orthodox Saints and Immigration &#8212; We examine how Orthodox Christian saints, kings, and emperors approached immigration, settlement, population movement, and the preservation of Christian society. We consider historical examples to explore whether immigration policy can be reconciled with religious obligations, national identity, and the interests of the state.</p></li></ul><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Key Takeaway</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">America First is not synonymous with MAGA. This episode examines the competing visions within the modern right over immigration, national identity, foreign policy, and the extent to which American interests should take precedence over foreign alliances and international commitments.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Sources &amp; Further Reading</strong></p><ul><li><p><em><strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Human-Capital-Settlement-Foreigners-1762-1804/dp/0521086108"><span>Human Capital: The Settlement of Foreigners in Russia 1762&#8211;1804</span></a></strong></em><strong><a href="https://www.amazon.com/Human-Capital-Settlement-Foreigners-1762-1804/dp/0521086108"><span> by Roger P.

His book <em>Teoria della Traslazione dei Tributi</em> (<em>Theory of Tax Shifting</em>) is a pioneering study of tax incidence. According to Nobel Prize winner James M. Buchanan, Pantaleoni can be considered as one of the intellectual forefathers of the modern public choice theory.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">In an article about the Democratic-Socialist and Freemason, Leonida Bissolati, Pantaleoni mocked Bissolati by stating:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>If, moreover, the socialist is a professional, one is faced with an exploiter who, for his own benefit, takes advantage of the gullibility of others&#8212;a dealer in adulterated and poisonous goods, a piece of bourgeois filth&#8212;who extends to the Israelite banker, who hires inferior types, finances party newspapers (and also newspapers of other parties), does shady deals with the State through the connivance and participation of his extreme-left deputies, provokes strikes and boycotts of competing firms, moves in high society and is a lion there, is linked to an international gang of his fellows, has views that are equally broad and wicked, and speculates indifferently on war, on the White-slave trade, on emigrants, on the Madonna of Lourdes, on alcohol and on pornography</em>.&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-14"

Protocols of the Elders of Zion:</p><blockquote><p><span>&#8220;</span><em><span>Mussolini risks falling into the hands of the &#8216;Jewish bank&#8217; and of following the dictates of the Protocols, of the &#8216;industrial sharks on the verge of bankruptcy and the lazy, corrupt workers who all collude to plunder, through the Government, its enterprises, its contracts and favors, those who by

He advocated for restrained foreign activity and raised wages, with the goal of easing poverty among farm laborers and small land holders.</p><p>On why he disliked jews, he stated:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>My dislike of the Jews is that which our forefathers had of them: I dislike them as insolent ruffians, who mock the religion and morality of Christians; I dislike them as people that never work, and form a body of wretches who live by trick; I dislike them as usurers, and the great agents of those systems of usury by which so many nations have so severely suffered; and this nation, above all others; in France they were the rapacious farmers of the taxes; in Poland, in Germany, in Hungary; every where, where they have been allowed to practise their arts of plunder, they have produced ruin to the people, and very frequently to the state.</em>&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-19" href="#footnote-19" target="_self">19</a></p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">In Parliament during the debate on jewish emancipation (March 22nd, 1833), Cobbett challenged a claim that jews were industrious subjects: </p><blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>[Whether] he could produce a Jew who ever dug, who went to plough, or who ever made his own coat or his own shoes, or who did anything at all, except get all the money he could from the pockets of the people?</em>&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-20" href="#footnote-20" target="_self">20</a></p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">Remarking on Britain&#8217;s national decline:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>&#8230;the daily increasing disposition still to fleece the more than half-shorn clergy, who are compelled to be, in various ways, the mere dependents of the upstarts of trade; the almost entire extinction of the ancient country gentry, whose estates are swallowed up by loan-jobbers, contractors, and nabobs </em>[Indian]<em>, who, for the far greater part not Englishmen themselves, exercise in England that sort of insolent sway, which, by the means of taxes raised from English labour, they have been enabled to exercise over the slaves of India or elsewhere; the bestowing of honours upon the mere possessors of wealth, without any regard to birth, character, or talents, or to the manner in which that wealth has been acquired; the familiar intercourse of but too many of the ancient nobility with persons of low birth and servile occupations, with exchange and insurance-brokers, loan and lottery contractors, agents and usurers, in short, with all the Jew-like race of money-changers; the loss of the spirit of independence, which is perceivable in the almost universal willingness and even eagerness, with which the higher classes seek to lean upon the Treasury, and with which the lower classes throw themselves upon the higher in the character of parish poor, thus forming the whole nation into a string of political mendicants, cringing to the minister of the day for a portion of that which he has drained from them in taxes</em>.&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-21" href="#footnote-21" target="_self">21</a></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h3

It gives us intellectual strengths that we more or less lack, or at least lacked earlier; it has greatly promoted the German economy. But it carries with it the danger that through its commercial superiority, which it still often and in many ways exploits by dubious means, it generates many internal social resentments and struggles. The tendency of the Jew, where he comes into an influential, dominant position, to disadvantage the Germans and Christians is still so manifoldly present that setbacks in the Jew-friendly attitude of all liberals continually recur, and that the resentments of conservative, peasant, small-trade, and cottage-industry circles cannot yet disappear to the extent they have in Western Europe. It is therefore in the interest of the Jews themselves that their predominance in certain positions, professions, and offices should not assert itself too strongly or too visibly</span></em><span>.&#8221;</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-27" href="#footnote-27" target="_self">27</a></p></blockquote><div><hr></div><h3 style="text-align: center;">Adolph Wagner (AD 1835-1917)</h3><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank" href="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Oyse!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F72afe808-0c68-40c7-85c6-8ed5383efa13_250x333.jpeg" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Oyse!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F72afe808-0c68-40c7-85c6-8ed5383efa13_250x333.jpeg 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Oyse!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F72afe808-0c68-40c7-85c6-8ed5383efa13_250x333.jpeg 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Oyse!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F72afe808-0c68-40c7-85c6-8ed5383efa13_250x333.jpeg 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Oyse!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F72afe808-0c68-40c7-85c6-8ed5383efa13_250x333.jpeg 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!Oyse!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F72afe808-0c68-40c7-85c6-8ed5383efa13_250x333.jpeg" width="250" height="333" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/72afe808-0c68-40c7-85c6-8ed5383efa13_250x333.jpeg&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:333,&quot;width&quot;:250,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:null,&quot;bytes&quot;:null,&quot;alt&quot;:&quot;Adolph Wagner -

A leading figure in the American Sociological Association, he helped found its journal, the American Journal of Sociology.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The following quotes come from his <em>The Old World in the New: The Significance of Past and Present Immigration to the American People</em> (1914). Here you find him speaking about America becoming the new &#8220;<em>promise land</em>&#8221; of the jews:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;<em><strong>IN</strong> his defense of Flaccus, a Roman governor who had &#8216;squeezed&#8217; his Jewish subjects, Cicero lowers his voice when he comes to speak of the Jews, for, as he explains to the judges, there are persons who might excite against him this numerous, clannish and powerful element. With much greater reason might an American lower his voice to-day in discussing two million Hebrew immigrants united by a strong race consciousness and already ably represented at every level of wealth, power, and influence in the United States.</em></p><p><span>&#8230;</span></p><p><br><em><span>Easily one-fifth of the Hebrews in the world are with us, and the freshet shows no signs of subsidence. America is coming to be hailed as the &#8216;promised land,&#8217; and Zionist dreams are yielding to the conviction that it will be much easier for the keen-witted Russian Jews to prosper here as a free component in a nation of a hundred millions than to grub a living out of the baked hillsides of Palestine</span></em><span>.&#8221;</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-31" href="#footnote-31" target="_self">31</a></p></blockquote><p>And on jews trying to control immigration policy he stated:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>Hence the endeavor of the Jews to control the immigration policy of the United States. Although theirs is but a seventh of our net immigration, they led the fight on the Immigration Commission&#8217;s bill. The power of the million Jews in the metropolis lined up the Congressional delegation from New York in solid opposition to the literacy test. The systematic campaign in newspapers and magazines to break down all arguments for restriction and to calm nativist fears is waged by and for one race. Hebrew money is behind the National Liberal Immigration League and its numerous publications. &#8230; In order to admit their brethren from the Pale the brightest of the Semites are keeping our doors open to the dullest of the Aryans!</em>&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-32" href="#footnote-32" target="_self">32</a></p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">Here he comments on jews turning to peddling goods during times of poverty, while the Italians would turn to hard honest work:</p><blockquote><p><span>&#8220;</span><em><span>The Hebrew immigrants rarely lay hand to basic production. In tilling the soil, in food growing, in extracting minerals, in building, construction and transportation they have little part. Sometimes they direct these operations, often they finance them, but even in direst poverty they contrive to avoid hard muscular labor. Under pressure the Jew takes to the pack as the Italian to the pick.</span><br><span>&#8230;</span><br><span>None can beat the Jew at a bargain, for through all the intricacies of commerce he can scent his profit</span></em><span>.&#8221;</span><a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-33" href="#footnote-33" target="_self">33</a></p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">While he mentions they show valuable traits, he ultimately states that jews are noisy, disrespectful, more likely to take advantage of their own (when they cannot take advantage of their hosts), and more likely to profit off of White slavery (prostitution):</p><blockquote><p><span>&#8220;</span><em><span>The Jewish immigrants cherish a pure, close-knit family life and the position of the woman in the home is one of dignity. More than any other immigrants they are ready to assume the support of distant needy relatives. They care for their own poor, and the spirit of co&#246;peration among them is very noticeable. Their temper is sensitive and humane; very rarely is a Jew charged with any form of brutality. There is among them a fine &#233;lite which responds to the appeal of the ideal and is found in every kind of ameliorative work.</span></em></p><p><br><em><span>Nevertheless, fair-minded observers agree that certain bad qualities crop out all too often among these eastern Europeans. &#8230; Genial settlement residents, who never tire of praising Italian or Greek, testify that no other immigrants are so noisy, pushing and disdainful of the rights of others as the Hebrews. That the worst exploiters of these immigrants are sweaters, landlords, employers and &#8216;white slavers&#8217; of their own race no one gainsays</span></em><span>.&#8221;</span><a

He was a proponent of the historical method in economics and an opponent of free trade.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><span>In his standard work, </span><em><span>The Growth of English Industry and Commerce</span></em><span> (1882), about the </span>medieval English economic history, he stated the following about monopoly of moneylending and royal control<span>:</span></p><blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>From the fact that taking of interest was prohibited to Christian men, it followed that money-lending was a business which could not be pursued except by Jews; in England they had an entire monopoly of it for a time. But the Jews had no rights or status of their own; they were the mere chattels of the king, all that they had was his. In this lay their security from popular violence; but it was a security for which they had to pay dearly. Their transactions were all registered in the Exchequer; debts due to them were really due to the king; and they might not accept compositions for payment, or grant a secret release. As a matter of fact therefore, the king had, indirectly, a monopoly of the money-lending in the country: so that the expulsion of the Jews by Edward I. was a permanent loss of revenue to the crown. The Jews gained usurious interest, and banking</em>.&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-35" href="#footnote-35" target="_self">35</a></p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">He continues with the 1290 AD expulsion of the jews from England by King Edward Longshanks:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>For no action has Edward I. been more unjustly blamed than for the expulsion of the Jews. In the interests of good government the step was absolutely necessary, for owing to changes of circumstances, the Jews could no longer be treated as royal chattels, nor was the law strong enough to protect them if they were placed in the position of other citizens. When the step was determined on, every care was taken to protect the Jews on their journey, and to procure for them the payment of the sums owed them by granting a remission of money that would otherwise have been exacted for the crown, to those who discharged their debts to the Jews themselves</em>.&#8221;<a class="footnote-anchor" data-component-name="FootnoteAnchorToDOM" id="footnote-anchor-36" href="#footnote-36" target="_self">36</a></p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">What Cunningham means by &#8220;<em>circumstances</em>&#8221; was the fact that there was a growing popular and clerical hostility towards jews. Increased accusations of blood libel, intensified crusader rhetoric, and inter-racial conflicts created an unlikely environment for jews to stay in England. While jews enjoyed special royal protection&#8212;with the condition that jews were essentially indefinite indentured servants&#8212;, the protection became politically costly and harder to enforce. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">So, 3 years into his reign, King Edward I. made the <em>Statute of the Jewry</em> (1275 AD), which banned usury (jews&#8217; main livelihood) and tried to push them into honest professions such as farming and the trades. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Before he made the statue in 1275, he began consolidating common-law administration, approved parliamentary consent for taxation, and created more uniform governance. And as the years went on, the 1275 statute was failing. Jews were excluded from guilds (because jews didn&#8217;t do manual labor and tried to strong-arm the guilds), landholding remained heavily restricted, and many jews continued lending under the nose of the royal government. Therefore, their economic usefulness to the Crown declined sharply. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Effectively, there was no possible way for King Edward I. to allow them to stay in England without it completely destroying English society.</p><div><hr></div><h3>Conclusion</h3><p style="text-align: justify;">There are more examples that I could find and publish in this article, but I believe the point&#8212;from an economic standpoint&#8212;has been accurately made. It wasn&#8217;t until after WWII, when economics became dominated by jews, that economists stopped finding correlations between unfair practices and the jews. Since WWII, all we hear is how jews are a net benefit to our economy because they are hard workers, smart, diligent, and productive. But the truth is, they don&#8217;t actually produce anything, they&#8217;re not that clever, they look down on making an honest living, and they take advantage of other peoples for their overall benefit. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Since is the case, why would any rational thinking person ever want the jews to live inside their nation&#8217;s borders? And if you&#8217;re against this parasitism, the only real option for you is to become antisemitic. However, if you&#8217;re now antisemitic, you must look at the other non-Whites in your nation and see the problems with them as well. Ultimately, you must adopt a nationalist mindset in order preserve your race, you culture, your Christianity, and your way of life. </p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank" href="http://thenewway.net" data-component-name="Image2ToDOM"><div class="image2-inset"><picture><source type="image/webp" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rrXm!,w_424,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc204fcb-6035-43e7-be72-a44bdd58d26c_1019x121.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rrXm!,w_848,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc204fcb-6035-43e7-be72-a44bdd58d26c_1019x121.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rrXm!,w_1272,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc204fcb-6035-43e7-be72-a44bdd58d26c_1019x121.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rrXm!,w_1456,c_limit,f_webp,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc204fcb-6035-43e7-be72-a44bdd58d26c_1019x121.png 1456w" sizes="100vw"><img src="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rrXm!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc204fcb-6035-43e7-be72-a44bdd58d26c_1019x121.png" width="728" height="86.44553483807654" data-attrs="{&quot;src&quot;:&quot;https://substack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com/public/images/bc204fcb-6035-43e7-be72-a44bdd58d26c_1019x121.png&quot;,&quot;srcNoWatermark&quot;:null,&quot;fullscreen&quot;:null,&quot;imageSize&quot;:null,&quot;height&quot;:121,&quot;width&quot;:1019,&quot;resizeWidth&quot;:728,&quot;bytes&quot;:126839,&quot;alt&quot;:null,&quot;title&quot;:null,&quot;type&quot;:&quot;image/png&quot;,&quot;href&quot;:&quot;http://thenewway.net&quot;,&quot;belowTheFold&quot;:true,&quot;topImage&quot;:false,&quot;internalRedirect&quot;:&quot;https://www.arditimagazine.com/i/209645233?img=https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc204fcb-6035-43e7-be72-a44bdd58d26c_1019x121.png&quot;,&quot;isProcessing&quot;:false,&quot;align&quot;:null,&quot;offset&quot;:false}" class="sizing-normal" alt="" srcset="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rrXm!,w_424,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc204fcb-6035-43e7-be72-a44bdd58d26c_1019x121.png 424w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rrXm!,w_848,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc204fcb-6035-43e7-be72-a44bdd58d26c_1019x121.png 848w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rrXm!,w_1272,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc204fcb-6035-43e7-be72-a44bdd58d26c_1019x121.png 1272w, https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!rrXm!,w_1456,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fbc204fcb-6035-43e7-be72-a44bdd58d26c_1019x121.png 1456w" sizes="100vw" loading="lazy"></picture><div></div></div></a><figcaption class="image-caption">Begin your journey into Nationalism by joining <a href="http://thenewway.net">The New Way</a>.</figcaption></figure></div><div class="footnote" data-component-name="FootnoteToDOM"><a id="footnote-1" href="#footnote-anchor-1" class="footnote-number" contenteditable="false" target="_self">1</a><div class="footnote-content"><p>Gottfried Feder, The German State on a National and Socialist Foundation, trans.

He was not charged with murder in the federal case because the killing was deemed a state matter. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">He then led authorities on a dramatic five-day manhunt before local cops in Altoona, Pa. finally nabbed him while he was eating breakfast at a local McDonald&#8217;s.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Prosecutors say Mangione penned a &#8220;<em>manifesto</em>&#8221; detailing motive to kill the UnitedHealthcare CEO outside the company&#8217;s annual investor conference was a way to &#8220;<em>rebel against the deadly, greed-fueled health insurance cartel</em>.&#8221;</p><p style="text-align: justify;">They say he plotted the murder to make apolitical statement, leaving behind bullet casings at the scene with the words &#8220;<em>delay</em>&#8221; and &#8220;<em>deny</em>&#8221; etched into them, a nod to language insurers allegedly use to dodge paying out customers&#8217; claims.</p><p style="text-align:

money</em>.&#8221;</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Once a political status quo is arranged, only then is power relevant. The processes of power are then how power is exercised within a certain status quo, within certain politics. To understand power we must understand politics. To understand politics we must understand humanity, as it is only humanity which generates politics.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.arditimagazine.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Arditi is a reader-supported publication.

That is&#8212;the worldview which derives from the mind, and which accordingly informs a political structure. These structures&#8212;what we could call &#8220;<em>ideologies</em>&#8221;&#8212;are understandings of what <em>is</em>, and then attempts at proposing what must <em>be</em>.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">As a consequence, <em>ideology</em> can only be accepted or formed based on an <em>understanding</em>, or <em>worldview</em>. In this case, <em>worldview</em> is meant in the simplest definition: <em>how one views the world</em>. A practical approach to politics will conflict with an idealistic one, a conservative approach will conflict with a progressive one.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">With all the diversity of human thought, conflict is inevitable. With conflict comes violence and with violence comes war. War itself is not representative of power; only the authority to initiate a war and the status quo that follows after a war can be considered power. For power cannot be exercised without a system or without a society.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The relevant question is then: what is a society? It may be proposed that a society is a group of humans that share a common interest. On the contrary, we find many societies with a lack of common interest, only held together by the status quo. And indeed, if common interest alone were sufficient to constitute a society, we would have no need for differing ideology, as all rational creatures have a common interest in living well.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A better definition of a society would be as follows: a grouping of humans who are bounded by shared culture and way of life, who live under a system that maintains material harmony&#8212;such that no serious conflict of worldviews is pursued&#8212;and that organizes itself formally or informally.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">It may be said then that the primary inspiration of worldviews is an interest in living well, and once these material conditions are met, difference of opinion (in worldview) is subordinated. However, there are those who are not content with just material conditions. These people are concerned with both the <em>material</em> and <em>abstract</em>, and thus their worldview <em>cannot</em> be subordinated, so long as their experience (and mind) compel them to this worldview.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">They are &#8220;<em>the thinkers</em>&#8221; or &#8220;<em>thinking men</em>&#8221;, as they are concerned with abstract conditions. Their counterpart are &#8220;<em>the workers</em>&#8221; or &#8220;<em>working men</em>&#8221;, as they are concerned with material conditions. The two cannot exist independently.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">A society, according to this logic, desires the suppression of hostile thinkers. For if a society is a system founded on one worldview, the tolerance of a worldview that seeks to destroy it guarantees its destruction when it fails to provide material conditions. When material conditions are not provided, there can no longer be subordination of opinion for the working man. A thinking man will learn to tolerate the regime but wish for its replacement. A working man has little reason not to tolerate the regime until it stops providing.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Stability is the fulfillment of material conditions. Material conditions may be defined as follows: economic security, social cohesion, law and order. The first is the most important, as if a working man cannot fulfill his purpose, he will be swayed by the thought of hostile thinkers who provide him his purpose. If the society has no social cohesion&#8212;that is to say, it has multiple cultures, languages, and its values are foreign to the worker, this will accelerate any issue caused from a lack of economic security. Lastly, no society can be maintained without the enforcement of law.</p><div><hr></div><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2" target="_blank"

multimillion-dollar book deal.</figcaption></figure></div><div><hr></div><p style="text-align: justify;">In a series of social media posts, he said claims against him are part of a systemic pattern of diminishing the intellectual contributions of negros. But I wouldn&#8217;t diminish the intellectual contributions of negroes&#8230; I would deny they even exist. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">Falade wrote:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>If you&#8217;re a Person of Color and you secure a lucrative deal in history, someone, somewhere, will accuse you of using AI</em>.&#8221;</p></blockquote><p style="text-align: justify;">Meanwhile, he added that white authors &#8220;<em>brag about using AI all the time</em>.&#8221;</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Fourteen publishers had bet on the US rights for Falade&#8217;s debut novel, and he ultimately inked a deal with Minotaur, a Macmillan US imprint for a reported $2 million. HarperCollins Publishers won the UK rights.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Soon after the deals closed and Falade was set to make millions, an agent at Europa Content notified the publishers in a letter that he could no longer support the book after evidence of AI being used to write it came up.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Falade told<a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media/author-whose-2-million-book-deal-was-derailed-by-ai-concerns-says-hes-innocent-c9f4c91b"> </a><strong><a href="https://www.wsj.com/business/media/author-whose-2-million-book-deal-was-derailed-by-ai-concerns-says-hes-innocent-c9f4c91b">the Wall Street Journal</a></strong> that he only used AI for research, &#8220;<em>and not for writing the book itself</em>.&#8221;</p><p style="text-align: justify;">He explained that he relied on a tool that let him run an open-source AI model on his own device, to obtain details on topics like what chemical someone might use to dissolve a human body.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The tool he used doesn&#8217;t keep or share extensive search histories, raising eyebrows. But Falade said he used that method because of the grizzly subject matter of the questions for his crime novel&#8212;which he felt could raise red flags if they were tracked.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Falade said that none of the editors he met with during the book-sale process asked about AI usage. Falade also stated that he never consented to having his manuscript run through AI detection software. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">We all know now the reason why he wouldn&#8217;t have consented is because he used AI to write it. However, refusal wouldn&#8217;t have necessarily meant that he was guilty, so the publishers were smart to go ahead and scan it after the book closing. </p><p style="text-align: justify;">The scribe said that none of the editors he met with during the book-sale process asked about AI usage, noting that he never consented to having his manuscript run through AI detection software.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Falade told the Journal that he was contacted by a reporter who said there were rumors of AI usage. Hours later, he learned his agent, Marc Gerald, was pulling support for his book.</p><p>Gerald said he is no longer Falade&#8217;s literary agent and a rep for Macmillan confirmed Friday that the publisher participated in an auction for &#8220;Call Me, I&#8217;ll Hide the Body,&#8221; but they had pulled the book.</p><p>In the meantime, Falade said, he is going forward with his next work:</p><blockquote><p>&#8220;<em>Trust me, when this book is finally released, the bidding war we saw on &#8216;Call Me, I&#8217;ll Hide the Body&#8217; will be child&#8217;s play compared to this</em>.&#8221;</p></blockquote><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://www.arditimagazine.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Arditi is a reader-supported publication.
