The Capitol siege recalls past acts of Christian nationalist violence

Some Christians Feel It's A God-Given Mission To Fight On Trump's Behalf

Some of the extremists who assaulted the U.S. Capitol are Christian nationalists. They believe they are on a divine mission to challenge government institutions in the name of God.

Some of President Trump's most passionate advocates are Christians who fear their freedom will be in jeopardy under a Biden administration. Their militancy was evident weeks before the January 6 assault on the Capitol. In a podcast last month, Eric Metaxas, a conservative Christian writer and radio host, made a case for Christians waging a war to overturn the presidential election.

That's the only one in the US, and you're it? Must be an interesting scent-experience!

Far from the only one. Every Democratic shithole has a stench all its own. Biden will now be responsible for the black on black crime and the death of every American killed by an illegal. He also starts racking up Covid deaths on his watch.

I should think your departing Fuhrer's guilt should last you a good thousand years, kid.
 
While a bit off topic a fascinating read is 'Hitler's Willing Executioners: Ordinary Germans and the Holocaust'. Daniel Jonah Goldhagen traces the roots of anti-Semites and the idea that Jewish people were a race rather than a religious group. You witness that even today with white supremist who are often religious. Race while a myth has powerful motivations and consequences.

The difficulty was, I think, that vast numbers of often quite intelligent people were going in for eugenicist nonsense, while the mass of mugs were being sold racism to keep them obedient and justify colonialism - they could turn almost anything into a discussion of 'race'. When capitalism is in trouble, it will let political gangsters pick up on all such drivel to destroy working class opposition.
