Christian extremism is a poorly understood and often neglected phenomenon. Although we are constantly hearing about Muslim extremists, America is plagued with a Christian extremist movement which we ignore at our peril. Christian extremism includes the components of Christian fundamentalism (i.e., biblical inerrancy, evangelism, premillenialism, separatism/sense of persecution, and biblical literalism with regard to creation) and adds some additional components (e.g., exclusivity, anti-intellectualism, social conservatism/anti-liberalism, intolerance, theocratic strivings, and militant opposition to modernism).
Open letter to the Zealots and True Believers in Kulturkrieg
To whom it may concern:
I suppose you know who you are ... and it is to you who contend that the United States is now in a state of what you would call Culture War (and should best be called by its German translation, Kulturkrieg, for reasons you will understand), that I address you @ this time.
And I should like to use this opportunity to ask of you what would be your ideal of an American Defining Culture (Amerikanischer Leikultur) for all purposes and intents you may attach to the concept.
The which raises interesting questions galore, and then some:
- Would your ideal of an Amerikanischer Realkultur be rooted in hatred, bigotry and intolerance, in particular--
- anti-Semitism?
- Islamophobia?
- racism?
- homophobia?
- xenophobia?
- Producerism?
- general contempt for the poor, minorities and other vulnerable elements of Society?
- Would your ideal of an Amerikanischer Realkultur emphasise an idealised model of white middle-class Low Church Levittown values? Would these values regard as virtuous:
- free-market capitalism as Great White Father?
- said capitalism being subjected only to laissez-fare self-regulation based on industry Codes of Good Practice?
- isolationist self-sufficency within free-market capitalist models and paradigms?
- America having been "predestined" as The One True Centre of the World, the Universe and the 28 Known Galaxies, not to mention Portal and Gateway to Heaven?
- invoking His Name to justify fear, loathing, contempt and hatred against "inferior peoples and societies," to be reinforced by "whatever means necessary," including force or violence if need be?
- the White Man's Burden as one with Christian Honour and Identity?
- a "Lord and Master mindset for America" (cf. a BDSM dominatrix in stereotypical black leather and bullwhip), holding The Rest of the World as nothing less than slaves subject to the bidding of her American Masters?
- Would your ideal of Amerikanischer Realkultur be class-subjective; i.e., such cultural options available being conditioned by one's socioeconomic position and where they reside?
(As example: Those in lower-income or otherwise economically-distressed areas of the country would more than likely receive such specimens of Realkultur tending to the low, pornographic and generally tasteless, usually lacking in plot, story or production values by deliberate design.) - Would you consider the Muzikschaukultur in and around Branson, Missouri to be an ideal "litmus test," so to speak, for what you would consider Amerikanischer Realkultur defined? How and why?
- Are you expecting your ideal of Amerikanischer Realkultur to have an educational benefit tending to propaganda?
- Are we to expect what amounts to a "stab-in-the-back" mindset (cf. Nazi Germany's preferred excuse to justify reclaiming Her Rightful Glory and Honour through fear, violence and anti-Semitism) being a recurring theme in your Amerikanischer Realkultur ideal, the intention throughout being one of promoting True Patriot Love in All Thy Sons Command--said Patriot Love being one rooted in xenophobia?
- Would your designs on an idealised Amerikanischer Realkultur be such as regard Old Glory to be some class of a Holy and Sacred Icon Having Mystical Powers, not unlike Nazi Germany's treatment of the swastika "blood flag" having been made holy by the blood of the Beer Hall Putsch martyrs?
- Would your designs on an idealised Amerikanischer Realkultur emphasise a "Holy Blood and Soil" mindset serving nothing short of racist, xenophobic and jingoist ends? Can such expect to be reinforced by endorsing a genre of literature based on the German such of Heimatroman ("regional novels") whose plots are, for the most part, formula-based and overzealously glowing?
- Would your designs on an idealised Amerikanischer Realkultur emphasise a "back to the land" idealism which can be interconnected with the "Holy Blood and Soil" such?
- Would your designs on an idealised Amerikanischer Realkultur be further reinforced by your preferred interpretation of American History--one as is, for the most part, overzealously glowing to the point of sugar-coated and racially selective?
- Would your designs on an idealised Amerikanischer Realkultur be expected to reinforce the "America is a White Christian Nation" meme your kind enjoys propagating (cf. apartheid South Africa's constantly pushing the same message to reinforce White Racial Honour and Privilege which apartheid sought to sanction)?
- Would your designs on an idealised Amerikanischer Realkultur excuse a special "cultural heritage" defence to justify such specimens of "traditional" (yet politically-incorrect) specimens of said Realkultur such as blackface minstrel shows and men-only gatherings such as "smokers"?
- Are you now, or have you ever been:
- an alcoholic?
- addicted to narcotic, hallucinogenic or otherwise habit-forming drugs?
- a sex fiend or maniac?
- a regular patron of adult businesses?
- a wife- and/or child-abuser?
- a chronic and habitual gambler or spendthrift?
- an undischarged bankrupt?
- declared mentally ill, insane or otherwise incompetent?
- subject to police watch or observation?
- diagnosed with a Loathsome Social Disease?
- a member, or otherwise associated with, a known subversive or otherwise conspiratorial organisation?
- Have you no sense of Decency, Sir, @ long last?
- Have you left no sense of Decency?
These questions are submitted because the "right-thinking American people" you claim to be acting for want answers.
And answers based on facts, not scripted, meme-laden platitudes and patsies.
You know where to leave the answers--so long as they are tasteful and respectiful.
