Common good conservative, Christian, Chestersonian distributist. Watching the collapse of liberalism with popcorn

Every now and then, the brutal punishments of the medieval world don’t seem as cruel and backwards anymore, at least in cases like this.

Bonjour @leparisien, pourquoi omettre de dire que ce bébé avait été adopté par un couple d’homosexuels qui l’ont violé si sauvagement que ce pauvre petit cœur avait du sperme dans les poumons et les intestins perforés ?

Putain de dégénérés. La peine de mort serait trop douce.

@UBERSOY1 It’s really amazing how some “conservatives” balk at the statement due to their commitment of liberal neutrality. Our political order should ultimately follow Christian principles and thereby recognize Christ as King. Why would a conservative Christian object?

[Postliberal Platypus @postliberalp]

@iam_shwa @Jason_Catholic Because the fulfillment of natural ends are good, and intentionally thwarting an act ordered towards its purpose so it does not attain it makes it defective and therefore bad.

@NoVa_Jacksonian Bro apparently thinks that the pre-socratics didn’t do philosophy 💀

[Postliberal Platypus @postliberalp]

@TeamFishback Yep, and that’s why he won’t conserve anything. All flavors of liberalism are inherently progressive.

@PatrickDeneen Well deserved. “Why Liberalism Failed” was *the* reason I went through a much-needed paradigm shift in the way I thought about politics. Thank you for your work!

[The Other Paul @TheOtherPaul2]

According to @JeremyDBoreing, Gen Z is just imagining the economic woes they live every day and see getting worse; they're actually in some of the best times ever!

And these guys have the gall to blame "muh fatherlessness" and "muh scapegoating" for the New Christian Right.

@TheOtherPaul2 @JeremyDBoreing “GDP go up, why Gen Z mad”

@iam_shwa Based on your comments, I don’t think you understand what it is

[Postliberal Platypus @postliberalp]

@vaticansillo @PopePiusIXStan @Catholicizm1 Aristotle did it in his metaphysics over two millennia ago

[Postliberal Platypus @postliberalp]

@iam_shwa @Catholicizm1 Appealing to final causality is not the same thing as an appeal to God. What are you talking about lmao

[Postliberal Platypus @postliberalp]

@postlibchad One of the reasons why centralized welfare programs cannot be the primary way the principle of subsidiary is realized

[Postliberal Platypus @postliberalp]

Every time I read the words “a federal judge ruled” I immediately get irritated before I even finish reading

[R A W S A L E R T S @rawsalerts]

🚨#BREAKING: A Federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration cannot ban SNAP recipients from using benefits on sugary drinks & candy.

[Postliberal Platypus @postliberalp]

@FeserEdward @michaeljknowles @Pontifex In my view, this highlights the reason why American politics feels so frustrating. The mainstream right tends to emphasize subsidiary without solidarity, and the left does the converse. And because each side leaves one out, they ultimately have neither.

[Firas Modad @firasmodad]

This is frankly disgusting. What is it about some Christians that they can't avoid being cucks to one side or the other?

[bumbadum @bumbadum14]

Guys we can be anti Israel (and should be) without devolving into islamophile revisionist history.

[Humble Flow @HumbleFlow]

We have reached the "Muslims were actually very kind to Christians" stage.

[Postliberal Platypus @postliberalp]

I’ve defended Tucker a number of times recently, but his glazing of Islam recently is getting tiresome. Look, it’s very reasonable to be critical of Israel, but it does not mean we need to replace our boomer dispensationalist views of Judaism with Islam.

[Clash Report @clashreport]

Theologian JD Hall to Tucker Carlson:

The Muslim rulers didn't tax churches during the Ottoman period. They were very kind to Christians.

As a matter of fact, they took care of our holy sites. Islamic authorities rebuilt the Church of the Holy Sepulchre three different times over the centuries.

They had a law protecting Christian pilgrims on their journey. Nobody messed with the pilgrims.
