Does Tucker Carlson read my blog?
I mean, obviously not. But clearly he’s picking up takes from “our side.”
He points out that the rioters burned down churches, but not mosques. Oh come on Tucker, you know full well that synagogues were specifically protected by Antifa and BLM organizers placed ahead of time to protect them – they said as much on social media. But of course Tucker knows he can’t say that, so he’s pretending that this has anything at all to do with mosques.

When we think of writers who are popular reads within neoreactionary circles, Jacques Ellul is not one who readily comes to mind (likely because he was writing in the 1950s, rather than the 1750s or 1850s). Ellul, for those who are not familiar with him, was a French sociologist and philosopher who began as a Marxist but converted to Catholicism around 1930. However, he was not ever really a traditional Catholic – much of his theology relating to so-called “Christian anarchism” (which centered upon his absolute rejection of violence, whether religious or secular) eventually led him to formulate positions which while holding to a high view of the biblical texts, tended to reject a role for secular government in the lives of Christians who were living by the Scriptures, which made him more popular with pietistic Protestant groups than with his own church.
