I took this political test called NewValues, and it said I'm a Paleolibertarian, which is just a conservative libertarian that is heavily influenced by Christian values, and Gary North's name came up when I was researching Paleolibertarianism. It said that he butted heads with other libertarians because of his views regarding the death penalty for abortion, homosexuality, adultery, blasphemy, and witchcraft. I agree with him about the death penalty for abortion but the death penalty for homosexuality, adultery, blasphemy, and witchcraft, I don't agree with. Obviously I'm against those things but I think those things should be discouraged on a social level rather than a state level. So I agree with him about some stuff, but not everything. That's why I'm not a theocrat/theonomist. I'm a Christian Paleolibertarian. I'm not a Hoppean either, because, while I agree with some of Hoppe's ideas, I think Hoppeanism devolves pretty quickly into pseudo fascist rhetoric. While I definitely intentionally do not vote and advocate for the abolition of the state, making me in essence a Christian conservative Anarchocapitalist, which is effectively what a Hoppean is, I think a lot of Hoppeanism is a watered down perverted version of Paleolibertarianism and it's Christian values. Hoppe seems to only reject leftism because it's good, in his view, to preserve Western culture in order to then preserve personal liberty, rather than trying to uphold these values in society because it's the biblically correct thing to do. While I disagree with most Progressive values, and I do agree that they're objectively bad for society and for upholding liberty as a whole, I think if you have to fall into statist rhetoric to oppose them and to enforce conservative Christian values, I think that is just as unbiblical as Progressivism. We don't need to give more power to the state. We don't need to physically remove individuals from society unless they are directly threatening our well being, even if we find the ideas they advocate for or their lifestyle abhorrent and degenerate. We need to lead by example by upholding these values on our own, and not passing the buck to the state to do it. Any form of statism, including theonomy, enforces this ideal. Any form of statism, including theonomy, passes personal responsibility away from the individual to the state. When Christ told us to give to the poor and tell those who are in sin the Gospel, He was telling us as individuals to do it, not to give power to the state to do it for us.
I thought of this today, and it fits perfectly.
[The State] will take you farther than you wanna go; Slowly, but surely taking control. [The State] will leave you longer than you wanna stay. [The State] will cost you far more than you wanna pay.
Has anyone noticed the anarchist implications of Proverbs 6:6-8? 6 Go to the ant, O sluggard, study her ways and learn wisdom; 7 for though she has no chief, no commander or ruler, 8 She procures her food in the summer, stores up her provisions in the harvest.
I'm looking for a friend in South Georgia. I'd love to have someone to engage with that isn't just online.
Y’all have a discord? Or something? This place is dope!
That is all.
