  • The “trad wives” (traditionalist / paleoconservative middle class women who believe that their religion is good for women) are looking for a husband in the traditional sense, a type of business owner / patriarch who owns them and provides for them; see: husbandry. That’s so that they can produce a lot of offspring while pretending that raising kids in near or full homeschooling is a good thing and she’s very successful (culturally).

    They’re the homologues of incels and traditionalist bros who want to be rich so that they maintain some informal harem. And they deserve each other.











  • The prosperity gospel emerged among a group of syndicated evangelists in the United States following World War II, when America was on the rise and anything other than stars and stripes capitalism was blasphemous. Equally, this new cohort of preachers, like Oral Roberts and Kenneth Copeland, knew how to speak to the concerns of everyday people. Fairly soon, the idea of a God who is interested in how much you have in your wallet at the end of the week — not to mention how much of that you are tithing to your church — became a feature of televangelism.

    The way I see it, it’s nothing new.

    In practice, they’re like Italian mafia. In spirit, they’re the usual Christian settler/crusader/colonizer who believes that God promised them the world and they just have to take it and own it.
