Is Rod Dreher worth reading? I’m interested in the Benedict Option. He seems, if I may say so, the ultimate trad. He’s Orthodox too

>Mr. Elmougy said he didn’t understand why I considered Shaykh Yusuf al-Qaradawi, the popular satellite TV evangelist and spiritual advisor of the Muslim Brotherhood, to be violent. I responded by pointing out that Qaradawi has advocated executing homosexuals, and that he gave advice on his website about how a Muslim man can beat his wife in an Islamically correct way.

>“That’s violent,” I told Mr. Elmougy. He slammed his hand on the table and said he agreed with the Shaykh, and that he wouldn’t apologize for it. He went on to tell a story about an adulteress who came to the Prophet asking for release from her sins. The Prophet ordered her stoned to death, said Mr. Elmougy, and declared that he could see her rejoicing in paradise. Mr. Elmougy finished his account by saying that things we Westerners consider to be unacceptable violence are considered by Muslims like him to be pro-family “deterrence.”

>I thanked him for his candor, for admitting that he favors executing gays, wife-beating, stoning adulteresses, and chopping the hands off of thieves.

I got bored reading that tedious 'satire' or whatever he considers it, so a book would be out of the question. True, it reads a tad like Rushdie, but after Rushdie took the knife to the prefrontal cortex. Anyway, it's called maize; corn is an encompassing term for grain--why haven't you hillbilly fucks, despite great your erudition, figured that out yet?

> I have never given circumcision a single thought, other than to consent to my sons’ circumcision. Europeans think its weird for American Gentiles to be circumcised, and I think they’re right … but I remember the one kid we had in my elementary school class, a black boy who had been born at home, and who was not circumcised. All us boys wanted to stare at his primitive root wiener when we were at the urinal during recess, because it was monstrous. Nobody told us that wieners could look like that. The kid didn’t know why his penis was so strange looking, and neither did we. Third grade, man.

I knew he'd converted to a boutique form of Orthodoxy but I didn't know he'd converted to THAT many sects, Jesus fuck.

Also I normally disdain Twatter posting but for Dreher I'll make an exception because the man is the greatest lolcow on the face of the Earth. Old 4chan would have had a field day with him. His insanity is almost as great as Chris-Chan's when you start to dig into it.

That's an oxymoron, depending on what you mean by "trad". In my mind, someone who accepts the assimilating doctrine of the Christian faith (eastern orthodoxy included) is a cuck and a phony. Christianity has hurt and will continue to hurt the European people and the European civilization.

That's basically all of "conservative" Christianity - theoretical support for Christian sexual morality (at least as pertains to women and gays) and nothing else. An intellectually honest person would note that conservatives are anti-Christians in denial and leftists are Christians in denial.

Basically he's driven himself insane over years of believing his own propaganda. You know how right-wing grifters feed their marks a lot of bullshit and a lot of fabrications, but don't actually believe a word of it? Dreher is a true believer. He actually does think it's deeply unsafe to go out of your house in the average American city.

His Twitter feed is also an unending stream of hilarity since it's him posting his thoughts totally unfiltered and you get to see how completely unhinged he is. The "primative root weiner" line is just scratching the surface.

Also he's a massive hypocrite and a walking contradiction in numerous respects. He converted to Catholicism because it was "based," only to flee like a coward when the sex abuse scandal broke. He's now Orthodox, but he doesn't actually keep up with the details of his own Church; he didn't know Moscow and Constantinople were in schism, for example, more than a year after it had happened. He wrote a whole book about forming communities and celebrating families, only to divorce his wife and flee his children to go be Viktor Orban's lackey in "based" Hungary.

And of course, to top it all, he writes extensively about male strength and masculinity but it's blatantly obvious he's a deeply closeted gay man. The only one who doesn't realize what a fag Dreher is at this point is Dreher himself.

He's one of those right-wing thinkers who correctly diagnoses the ills of modern Western society, but his response to that is pure insanity/grifting, like all right-wingers these days. Sure, society is going down the drain but the answer is not to turn into the fucking amish or buy his book about it.

[Anonymous No.21459031]

Read a few of his articles again based on this thread. He brings up gays/trannies in virtually all of them, no matter how tangentially.

And how does he rationalise support for the secular authoritarian Hungarian government (which is backed by the Chinese) with his "reject the evil modern world" thesis?

Conswrvatives and leftists/liberals sre both anti-Christian, just in diffetent ways. Conservatives are against helping your neighbor in need and for usury and other economic sins and leftists/liberals love sexual degeneracy. They also hate peace (as they are fine with bombing random brown children they can't see across the world) and only use Christianity as a political/social signalling tool, if that. Frankly, I don't see how any party left or right represents true Christian values at all.

Dreher is ultimately just another pseudo-conservative gatekeeper. He acts as a pressure valve to point out the most egregious problems with progressivism but he'll turn and attack those on his right far more viciously than the actual progressives he supposedly disdains. He's only slightly removed from David French style cuckservatism.
