Palmer Luckey says America needs people willing to build weapons and fight to defend freedom: “Pacifists exist on the sacrifices of people who actually put their lives on the line.” 🇺🇸
“Societies have always needed a warrior class that is enthused and excited about enacting violence in pursuit of good aims. Philosophers can criticize those people and say they’re sick in the head, but society needs them.
We need people who are willing to fight for our country. My life’s not on the line directly, but you need people like me who don’t lose any sleep making tools of violence in order to preserve freedom.
I have no problem with people who say, ‘I could never do that. I’d feel too guilty.’ It’s a good thing we’ve got a mix in society. We don’t all need to do the same things or think the same way.
Pacifists exist on the sacrifices of people who actually put their lives on the line. And I think we should respect that, even if we’re not willing to do it ourselves.”
Palmer is exactly right. I believe we need to stop criticizing people who have dedicated their life to protecting our soldiers and our country. Since the beginning of time, we’ve always needed a warrior class and I’m happy we have people willing to sleep at night knowing that what they’re doing is protecting all enemies domestic and foreign.

I did a seminar in my PhD program at a secular university entitled "Christian Politics," in which we read massive amounts of Christian literature on politics from the 2nd-16th century. No one in the seminar was a Christian. It was taught by a secular Jew and German.

Christianity Today has not suffered from declines in revenue, although it has become much more dependent on donations vs. earned revenue. (2024 has one time gains from asset disposals).
A confident and curious Christianity will not limit itself to only people within its circle of comfort. We will be willing to read and test heterodox ideas and learn what can from wherever.
I studied philosophy at a state university among mostly atheist professors and learned a lot. I did a PhD with most liberal and agnostic professors at UChicago and learned a lot. We read and discussed everything. I wouldn’t trade it for anything.
